Performer: Jan Garbarek
Producer: Jan Garbarek; Manfred Eicher Distributor: Universal Distribution Notes: Personnel: Jan Garbarek (soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone). Audio Mixers: Jan Erik Kongshaug; Jan Garbarek; Manfred Eicher. It's hard to believe that after recording as a leader for 40 years, DRESDEN: IN CONCERT is Jan Garbarek's first-ever live album. For those who think that Garbarek abandoned jazz some time ago, this will be a shock. DRESDEN is an engaged, kinetic, double-disc, two-hour performance of his quartet playing in the modern jazz idiom and using all of its tenets--from complex harmonics and rhythmic invention to extended lyric improvisation--to create a tour de force that honors all the music he holds dear. Garbarek plays tenor, soprano, and selje flute here, and is accompanied by his regular group that includes drummer Manu Katche, pianist/keyboadist Rainer Br�ninghaus, and electric bassist Yuri Daniel. There are 16 compositions that include tracks from previous albums -- some of them radically but exquisitely revamped for this quartet and performance. There are also tunes by his bandmates, and an extended, stellar reading of Milton Nascimento's gorgeous "Milagro Dos Piexes," that features some of the most inventive and dynamic dialogue between Garbarek and Br�ninghaus on record.
JazzTimes (pp.60-61) - "Garbarek, naturally, puts a lot of space in his playing; on 'Heitor' he even clips the notes of his soulful solo."
Jan Garbarek's high, keening saxophone sound, whether on tenor or soprano, has come to be inextricably intertwined with the austere "ECM sound." Since 1970, virtually all the Norwegian jazzman's records have appeared on that label, including it's 500th release, TWELVE MOONS. An early interest in the more outside explorations of John Coltrane and Albert Ayler gave way to a sort of sophisticated new age approach, with a focus on repeated figures of runic simplicity or mystery.
