Description:
Jan Garbarek, that most contained of saxophonists, was almost caught shaking his booty at his Festival Hall show with this band in 2007. Maybe the extra thrill imparted by sometime rock drummer Manu Katche and the Jaco Pastorius-like electric bassist Yuri Daniel - and an audience reaction rather different to the familiar Garbarek-induced collective trance - triggered ECM's decision to put out the first-ever Garbarek live album. This double CD was recorded in Dresden a month earlier, and it has all the London gig's intensity. Fans needn't fear the banishing of windswept-landscape Garbarek or pensively folk-dancing Garbarek - they
Jan Garbarek, that most contained of saxophonists, was almost caught shaking his booty at his Festival Hall show with this band in 2007. Maybe the extra thrill imparted by sometime rock drummer Manu Katche and the Jaco Pastorius-like electric bassist Yuri Daniel - and an audience reaction rather different to the familiar Garbarek-induced collective trance - triggered ECM's decision to put out the first-ever Garbarek live album. This double CD was recorded in Dresden a month earlier, and it has all the London gig's intensity. Fans needn't fear the banishing of windswept-landscape Garbarek or pensively folk-dancing Garbarek - they appear on the elegiac "Twelve Moons" and meditative "The Tall Tear Trees". But from the eager opening theme of "Paper Nut", through the slow-build of Milton Nascimento's "Milagre Dos Peixes", to Katche's solo percussion storm on "Grooving Out!" and on to the darkly lyrical encore "Voy Cantando", this marks a Garbarek group with impact--John Fordham, Guardian 5 star review
