Jan Garbarek Group: Wayfarer

Read "Jan Garbarek Group: Wayfarer" reviewed by John Kelman


Jan Garbarek Group Wayfarer ECM Records 1983 Today's Rediscovery? Jan Garbarek Group's Wayfarer, the saxophonist's 1983 ECM recording with Bill Frisell, Eberhard Weber and Michael DiPasqua. I was fortunate enough to have seen this group in a small club while on a trip to Boston the same year, and I still remember it to this day. Most people seem to prefer the previous group record, Paths, Prints (ECM, 1982), with Jon Christensen in ...

Luca Vitali - Il suono del Nord

Read "Luca Vitali - Il suono del Nord" reviewed by Luca Canini


Il Libro Aurore boreali, fiordi, salmoni, un re che si chiama Harald, fenomenali sciatori, un paio di attaccanti spilungoni che hanno lasciato il segno anche in Italia e una scena jazz da crepare d'invidia. Cresciuta rigogliosa nonostante la Novergia non sia esattamente al centro del villaggio globale. E nonostante gli evidenti limiti rappresentati dall'esiguo numero di abitanti, dal clima non proprio ospitale e dalla morfologia di un territorio frammentato, costellato di città piccole e distanti. Tutto il ...

Jan Garbarek - Egberto Gismonti - Charlie Haden: Magico-Carta de Amor

Read "Magico-Carta de Amor" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Non si è ancora smorzato l'entusiasmo degli appassionati per la pubblicazione di Sleeper, lussuosa testimonianza inedita di un concerto giapponese del 1979 del quartetto europeo di Jarrett, che la ECM sforna dai propri archivi un'altra sfavillantissima gemma d'annata. Anche questo è un live inedito ultratrentennale (la registrazione è del 1981) di una formazione dalla breve vita con Jan Garbarek; si tratta del trio Magico, che assieme al sassofonista norvegese comprendeva il contrabbassista americano Charlie Haden e il chitarrista/pianista brasiliano Egberto ...

Carta de Amor

Read "Carta de Amor" reviewed by John Kelman


It's sure been a banner year for fans of the ECM label, with a slew of fine new releases from artists including guitarist John Abercrombie (Within a Song), bassist Arild Andersen (Celebration), pianist Tord Gustavsen (The Well), and saxophonist Tim Berne (Snakeoil). Previously out-of-print or never-before-in-print studio recordings from saxophonist Jan Garbarek (Dansere) and pianist Jon Balke (Magnetic Works: 1993-2001 ) are now back in circulation. And, for the first time since bassist Charlie Haden's duet record with pianist/guitarist Egberto ...

Dansere

Read "Dansere" reviewed by John Kelman


Of all the box sets released so far as part of ECM Records' Old & New Masters Edition series, none have documented a period of such rapid growth and change as that of Jan Garbarek and Dansere, which collects the Norwegian saxophonist's three recordings with Swedish pianist Bobo Stenson: Sart (1971), Witchi-Tai-To (1974) and Dansere (1976). ECM's series of three-and four-disc Old and New Masters sets began with pianist Keith Jarrett's Setting Standards: New York Sessions (2008), celebrating the 25th ...

Jan Garbarek / The Hilliard Ensemble: Officium Novum

Read "Officium Novum" reviewed by Nenad Georgievski


Officium (ECM, 1993) paired renowned Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek with The Hilliard ensemble--a vocal group with a formidable reputation in the fields of both early and new music--playing a riveting and gorgeous set of compositions that were 500 years old. This unusual pairing proved to be a match made in heaven, as the subtle and wistful tone of Garbarek's 20th century instrument somehow found its place as another voice among the beautiful voices of the Hilliard ensemble, receiving rave reviews. ...
