Jan Garbarek: soprano and tenor saxophones, selje flute; Rainer Brüninghaus: piano, keyboards; Yuri Daniel: bass; Manu Katché: drums
This one is very eagerly-awaited: it has been six years since Jan Garbarek's last album as a leader ("In Praise of Dreams"). And, moreover, this double-album - recorded in Dresden's Alter Schlachthof in October 2007 - is also the first-ever live set from the highly-popular Garbarek Group. The band, now including Brazilian bassist Yuri Daniel, powers through repertoire old and new, and the Norwegian saxophonist is in top form, his exchanges with Manu Katche's bold, emphatic drums particularly exciting. Material includes "Twelve Moons", "There Were Swallows", "Voy Cantando", an ecstatic version of "Paper Nut" (last heard on Shankar's "Song for Everyone") and much more. Released in time for Jan's extensive autumn tour.
