	Jan Garbarek - Biography - AOL Music
		Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek's icy tone and liberal use of space and long tones has long been perfect for the ECM sound and, as a result, he is on many recordings for that label, both as a leader and as a sideman.
		Garbarek worked steadily in Norway throughout the remainder of the 1960s, usually as a leader but also for four years with George Russell (who was in Scandinavia for a long stretch).
		Garbarek began recording for ECM in the early '70s and, although he had opportunities to play with Chick Corea and Don Cherry, his association with Keith Jarrett's European quartet in the mid-'70s made him famous, resulting in the classic recordings My Song and Belonging.

	Jazz Artist Biography - Jan Garbarek@ jazzreview.com
		Garbarek is undoubtedly one of the most original individualists on saxophone to have emerged since the '70s.
		Garbarek has subsequently presented a wide body of his own work from acoustic and electric trios, quartets, through duos with piano, classical guitar, wind harp, brass sextet and pipe organ to solos and trios with string orchestras.
		Garbarek's highly distinctive tone - a desolate, stinging sound, floating in simplicity and haunting clarity - has proclaimed him as one of the most important saxophone stylists in contemporary jazz.

	Jan Garbarek \| In Praise of Dreams
		Jan Garbarek’s latest CD, In Praise of Dreams, is his first in six years, and continues his tendency, since the late 1980s, to move in a highly personal direction, creating music that is often seen as linked only tangentially to jazz.
		Garbarek has long been influenced by the music of different cultures, and he does not exchange any of that for a more techno outing.
		Garbarek’s saxophone voice has changed little over the years, so how any listener feels about this (or any of his recordings) is likely to be influenced by one’s opinion of that voice.

	Jan Garbarek \| In Praise of Dreams
		Garbarek, who has long since gone beyond the need for overt demonstrations of instrumental capabilities, has for many years been more interested in searching for a purity of sound, a truth in the essence of the song that has caused some to accuse him of taking the easy path.
		Garbarek has clearly lost none of his vitality, as evidenced by his soloing on pieces including “As Seen from Above” and the lilting pan-Celtic feel of the title track.
		Garbarek's pieces have a compelling truth to them, from ensemble pieces like “Scene from Afar” to “A Tale Begun,” which finds Garbarek using simple synthesizer textures and long saxophone tones to act as a fitting coda, retelling the title track without the percussion and lead voices.

	Biography - Jan Garbarek (Bio 546) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Garbarek's playing is representative of the kind of music associated with Manfred Eicher's ECM Records and of a characteristically Scandinavian strand of jazz, melodic and atmospheric, which has little overt emotionalism but does not lack intensity.
		His tours in the late 80s with a band including the remarkable percussionist Nana Vasconcelos were highly acclaimed and inspired many other musicians and bands to essay the juxtaposition of glacially imposing saxophone lines with exotic, tropical rhythm.
		Garbarek has also shown an increasing interest in folk and ethnic musics that has not only coloured his own playing but led to him recording with Ravi Shankar on the 1984 Song For Everyone and producing an ECM album for the Norwegian folk singer Agnes Buen Gurnas, 1991's Rosensfole.

	Jan Garbarek & The Hillard Ensemble : Officium
		Garbarek: "You might say I live in a spiritual neighborhood which is scattered geographically around the world." However, his proven adaptability is based partly in the commonality, the "common tongue", of the world's folk musics which Garbarek has unearthed via his researches into Norwegian tradition.
		Garbarek's wide-ranging listening habits and his willingness to confront new challenges in ECM production projects give notice that his music has retained its exploratory edge.
		Currently, Garbarek's touring schedule divides itself into performances in the churches of the world with the Hilliard Ensemble and extensive concert activity with the Jan Garbarek Group.

		Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek cut his teeth emulating John Coltrane and blowing gales through the muscular compositions of George Russell and open improvisations of Keith Jarrett.
		Garbarek has had other opportunities to improvise over classical compositional structures - most famously, his lovely sessions with the Hilliard Ensemble, but he also joined on the CD "Monodia", where Tigran Mansurian composed expressly for Kashkashian and him.
		Garbarek's discography is so vast, and his qualities as a musician so profound, that he can never be casually dismissed.

		Largely a feature for Jan Garbarek's soprano sax (he only plays tenor on three tracks), each song is dreamy and quite mystical.
		Additionally, there is nice interplay between Garbarek and the band on "Witchi-Tai-To", a remake of a tune first recorded by the saxophonist on a '74 album of the same name.
		Garbarek never shys away from a high register denouement to a song and that may be my only complaint.

		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.
		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.
		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.

	E.J.N. - JAN GARBAREK (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The Norwegian saxophon player, Jan Garbarek had an early breakthrough into the elite of modern jazz in the 60's, due to his extensive cooperation with Keith Jarrett.
		If it wasn't for his strong inner connection with Norwegian folklore, he wouldn't be able to integrate Brasilian and Asiatic influences as convincingly as he does.
		Jan Garbarek's Chambermusic-Jazz might well be the most beautiful sound next to silence, and he, as sculptor of these sounds, is intrinsingly connected with the illustrative and folkloristic qualities and influences.

	Jan Garbarek Group - MusicReviews - www.theage.com.au
		Like an eagle, though, Garbarek was drifting with keen intent - keeping an ear on the serene keyboard swathes of Rainer Bruninghaus and the restless, chiming bells of Marilyn Mazur; waiting to swoop and recapture the melody.
		Garbarek then led the ensemble into another joyously upbeat feel - this time a whimsical reggae-lope, where Garbarek's soprano swirled in bright, agile spirals around the playfully bouncing rhythm.
		Garbarek, who is in many ways responsible for the "Nordic" sound is not, it turns out, coolly aloof; he has simply removed extraneous clutter from his music, leaving room for reflection and that sense of time standing still.

	Jan Garbarek : Dansere - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Among the many stylistic twists and turns negotiated by Jan Garbarek early in his career, the subtle shift in direction from the previous, spectacular Witchi-Tai-To to Dansere was probably the most decisive.
		Bassist Palle Danielsson, while less angular and experimental than Arild Andersen, provides a solid and propulsive foundation for Garbarek and Stenson, the former tending to increasingly rein in his playing as the influence of Albert Ayler, so prominent in his first albums, continued to wane.
		Instead, one can hear traces of Keith Jarrett, with whom Garbarek had recently been working and, indeed, much of Dansere compares favorably with Jarrett's quartet work from around the same time.

	The History of Jazz Music. Jan Garbarek: biography, discography, review, links
		Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek (1947) established his credentials by playing on George Russell's Electronic Sonata For Souls Loved By Nature (1969) and Listen to the Silence (1971), as well as in Keith Jarrett's "European Quartet" (1974-79).
		Garbarek returned to his ethereal brand of "ambient jazz" with Paths Prints (december 1981), featuring Garbarek on tenor and soprano, Bill Frisell on guitar, Weber and Christensen.
		Garbarek adopted the electronic and melodic language of new-age music with Legend Of The Seven Dreams (july 1988), that featured electronic keyboards (Rainer Bruninghaus), bass (Weber) and percussion (Vasconcelos).

	Jan Garbarek: Eventyr
		I say this, because I think that my impressions of this album are heavily coloured by the fact that it was my introduction to Garbarek, and I had nothing to compare it against except my growing collection of Terje Rypdal albums.
		At first, there are similarities to the opening track, with Jan playing mournfully on top, but then his notes go higher and higher under he's screaming at the very top of the range.
		This is replaced by bird-chirp sounds, and Garbarek returns on a high flute.

	Jan Garbarek - Officium (1993)
		Jan Garbarek and The Hilliard Ensemble - Parce Mihi Domine
		Recorded September 1993 Fearlessly searching for new conceptions of sound and not caring where he found them, Garbarek joined hands with the classical early-music movement, improvising around the four male voices of the Hilliard Ensemble.
		Recorded in a heavily reverberant Austrian monastery, the voices sometimes develop in overwhelming waves, and Garbarek rides their crest, his soprano sax soaring in the monastery acoustic, or he underscores the voices almost unobtrusively, echoing the voices, finding ample room to move around the modal harmonies yet applying his sound sparingly.

		Beginning with the raw materials of early music and modern jazz, the four male voices of the Hilliard Ensemble joined with jazz saxophonist Jan Garbarek to see what would happen when the proper measure of old music and new style were combined, shaped by the performers' considerable experience and collective aesthetic vision.
		I was fortunate enough to see Garbarek and the Hillard Ensemble perform pieces from this disc in Tokyo; one of the true surprises and delights of the evening (which I haven't found on the CD yet) was Garbarek's decision to quote from Albert Ayler's "Ghosts" on one piece.
		Don't be worried by the unusual combination of jazz and classical elements; as another reviewer notes, Garbarek's voice blends in perfectly with the rest of the group, sounds a part of the whole.

	CD Review of Jan Garbarek - :rarum on ECM @ jazzreview.com
		He has one of the MOST distinctive sax sounds in jazz, taking his inspiration from Coltrane but taking to his very own place, outwardly “chilly” sounding, but like a crisp, cold, snowbound day where sunlight glistens on icicles, possessing a crystalline beauty, where the “warmth” comes from within.
		In his long career with ECM, JG has recorded in the “usual” jazz contexts, such as his membership in Keith Jarrett’s European quartet, but also in the ethno-fusion trio Magico with Charlie Haden and Egberto Gismonti, with Indian musicians (including Ustad Fateh Ali Khan), with a classical orchestra and a mediaeval vocal group.
		Disc One is drawn from Garbarek’s albums as leader, while the selections on Disc Two are of JG the band-member or collaborator.
