A post from a friend who’s taste in music I really respect, Jason Lopez:
Jan Garbarek’s first live recording (recorded in 2007 in Dresden), after decades of incredible studio recordings and collaborations with numerous musicians from Brazil to Pakistan, is an important moment. Garbarek is telling a story, taking us from the delicate and serene, memory and longing, into fierce storms and forbidden territory, and back. The gentle melodies, and the squeaks and distortion are language from another dimension that, if you let yourself go, you somehow find yourself understanding.
