This combination will not only improve your AAJ experience, it will allow us to continue to rigorously build on the great work we first started in 1995. Read on to view our project ideas...

Jan Garbarek Group: Wayfarer

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 the drum chair, but Wayfarer's three wonderfully atmospheric, extended pieces—the opening "Gesture," second side opener "Pendulum" and extraordinary title track—give this release the tiniest edge over Paths, Prints for me.

What a group....what a record.

So, what are your thoughts? Do you know this record, and if so, how do you feel about it?
