Jan Garbarek: In Praise of Dreams

Read "In Praise of Dreams" reviewed by John Kelman


Following a six-year break from recording, with only a guest appearance on bassist Miroslav Vitous' Universal Syncopations ('03) and a :Rarum compilation ('02), Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek returns with his first album of new material since Rites ('98). In Praise of Dreams continues along the path established by such recordings as Legend of the Seven Dreams ...

A Peep Into European Jazz

Read "A Peep Into European Jazz" reviewed by AAJ Staff


This is an interesting departure from the various avenues of jazz I have looked at so far, and at the outset I must than my good friend Diane Parekh and her husband George Patyrka –both of Ann Arbor, MI. She was kind enough to act upon my casual request to look for stuff by Czeslaw Niemen ...

Jan Garbarek: Rarum: Selected Recordings of Jan Garbarek

Read "Rarum: Selected Recordings of Jan Garbarek" reviewed by AAJ Staff

But do not confuse meditation with mindlessness: they are polar opposites. Garbarek's thirty years with ECM (as a leader and collaborator) have yielded hundreds of melodies which lead to an infinitely light state ...

Jan Garbarek: Rites

Read "Rites" reviewed by Robert Spencer

Jan Garbarek: Rites

Read "Rites" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

Jan Garbarek explores his “rites of passages” and takes us on a journey that shadows Garbarek’s personal observations and life experiences. Here, Garbarek expands upon his 1996 ECM release “Visible World” with clearer output and perhaps a more ...
