Jan Garbarek Group

‘The most original voice in European jazz since Django Reinhardt’ is how composer George Russell described the unmistakable saxophone sound of Jan Garbarek.

Distilled from a lifetime of listening and playing, from free jazz to the haunting melodies of Nordic folk music, and honed to a intensity that is entirely his own, Garbarek’s music sounds simple and complex at the same time - hymnal and sparse, playful and serious.
