Product Description

CD Description

Like his frequent collaborator Keith Jarrett, Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek never stands still for long. Straight-ahead jazz with Miroslav Vitous (the fine UNIVERSAL SYNCOPATIONS), mediaeval music with the Hilliard Ensemble, film music, impressionistic jazz flavoured by his homeland's folk andclassical music--Garbarek has excelled at these and more. On IN PRAISE OF DREAMS, he's convened a typically atypical group to perform his vivid, intense compositions--classical violist Kim Kashkashian and rock/jazz drummer Manu Katche.
Garbarek's saxophone sound eerily conveys the essences of both Arctic windswept landscapes and radiant winter sunshine, while Kashkashian's beautifully warm viola, rich with vocal-and horn-like sonorities, provides cushioning and counterpoint. Katche delicately but firmly anchors the proceedings with his subtle, pattern-oriented drumming. Garbarek's compositions are haunting, atmospheric, and elegiac, not to mentionconcise--certainly not early-morning music, but for times of deep contemplation or relaxation, DREAMS is an ideal soundtrack.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thoughful and beautifully crafted, 2 Jan 2005

By	C. H. Shaw "redmutts" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this CD on impulse and I'm very glad I did! This CD takes Garbarek away from his usual partnering with Eberhard Weber and Rainer Bruninghaus to give some beautiful, thoughtful melodies intertwining the saxophone with the viola of Kim Kashkashian. The viola is very powerful, sounding almost like a cello at times with its flowing deep tone, perfectly complemented and counter-pointed by Garbarek's atmospheric saxophone playing. Track 2 sets the 'theme' which is picked up again at points though the CD. I find the samples on this site pretty useless as they tend to finish before the track get going, but try the sampler for track 4 to give an idea.

4.0 out of 5 stars Modern, Cool and Delightful, 30 Dec 2004

By	Lewis Graham "lewisgraham" (East Anglia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is different to the hard, avant-garde Garbarek of the 70's and 80's. Here he mixes synthesisers, viola and his own fluid saxaphone sound to produce a series of ethereal sounds. Track 6 - Scene From Afar - is a lilting tune in tango time which haunts and delights.

If you enjoyed his work with the Hilliard Ensemble, this will be a pleasant instrumental alternative.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jan at its best!!!!, 24 Sep 2004

By	"guimxm" - See all my reviews

I got this CD few days ago and I have must listened to it at least 20 times. It transfers an unspeakable sence of hugeness that makes you feel just right. Track two, the title track, in particular is absolutely amazing, with Garbarek's sax beautifully dueting with the viola. Trust me, buy this record, it's way worth the money it costs.

This is a peculiarly lifeless record. There's that beautiful saxophone tone of course, but unfortunately there are no stories being told with it. Read more
