ECM Records, also known as "The Creative Label," is a German independent label that was co-founded by producer Manfred Eicher, Manfred Scheffner, and Karl Egger in Munich (Pasing) in 1969. With the label code LC 2516 / LC 02516, ECM stands for Edition of Contemporary Music and focuses on jazz and Western classical music. They showcase both acoustic and electronic artists who produce eclectic versions of contemporary music.

ECM's extensive catalog features a wide range of genres, from contemporary works by renowned composers like Steve Reich, Arvo Pärt, and Philip Glass to experimental and electronic jazz from artists such as Nils Petter Molvær, Pat Metheny Group, and Jan Garbarek. Over the past 40+ years, ECM has released more than 1500 recordings that have been acclaimed for their exceptional music quality, creative production techniques, and outstanding sound.

Although an independent label, ECM titles are distributed by Universal Music Group (UMG) in the US, Japan, and throughout Europe. However, they have also collaborated with other distributors over the years. Notably during the period when Polydor distributed ECM products in Germany; [l447694] was used for pressing identified by a CP suffix on labels and runouts. Afterward,[l25946] became their primary distributor.

With "daring and visionary spirit", to quote a Downbeat review from the year of  this album's release, master improvisers John Abercrombie, Dave Holland and  Jack DeJohnette forged a unique vision of trio interplay on their first joint effort  under the Gateway moniker. The trio tackles Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette  originals with a visionary idea of what three-way conversations in jazz could  sound like. As The Observer remarked in an article of the time, "the telepathic  ensemble playing and perfect execution make it difficult to believe that this music  is almost completely improvised". The players' respectively unique instrumental  signatures had already fully crystallised here, hinting at the music to come.     The Luminessence edition of the album arrives in a Tip-on gatefold, complete  with previously unseen archival photos and new liner notes by Wilco's Nels Cline. 

    "One thing most recordings on the label share in common is the capturing of  special moments in real time. That is what "Gateway" is, what it feels like so  many years later, for as long as we have ears to listen." - Nels Cline
