Product Description
A welcome return to the ECM catalogue - in a specially priced 3-CD box set in the label's Old & New Masters Edition series - for three of the most striking of the early recordings which Jan Garbarek made for the label in the 1970s. In different but related ways Sart (1971), Witchi-Tai-To (1973) and Dansere (1975) brought freshly intelligent and invigorating perspective to bear on questions of dynamics, group sound, interaction and swing, the relation of improvisation and abstraction to the roots of jazz, and the relevance of archetypal yet freshly inflected folk forms to contemporary music. Two ensembles are heard here - Jan Garbarek, Terje Rypdal, Arild Andersen and Jon Christensen (the "Big Four" of Norwegian jazz), together with Swedish pianist Bobo Stenson - on the exploratory Sart, and the spirited Jan Garbarek-Bobo Stenson Quartet, completed by Palle Danielsson and Jon Christensen - one of the most exciting groups of the era - on the two later albums. "Witchi-Tai-To was probably the first of his records about which it is possible to say that it was both characteristic and surprising, both impressionistic and funky, European and jazz-based. The saxophone tone is more relaxed... The title-piece is a version of Jim Pepper's surprise hit, a delightful performance that is as fresh now as ever." - The Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD Personnel (collective): Jan Garbarek (soprano, tenor & bass saxophones, flute), Bobo Stenson (piano, electric piano), Palle Danielsson (double-bass), Jon Christensen (drums, percussion), Terje Rypdal (guitar), Arild Andersen (double-bass)
Review
'Sart reflects both Miles Davis's late-60s fusion and Coltrane's and Albert Ayler's free-sax odysseys...while Witchi-Tai-To is steered by Stenson's affection for folk-song melody. But 1975's Dansere finds Garbarek beginning to leave orthodox jazz-sax methods behind, his tone now unique, his phrasing sparing.' -- The Guardian, (John Fordham)* * * *
'Sart has a wonderful early 70s feel...some very responsive and sympathetic playing from Christensen.' -- Drummer, (Brent Keefe) * * * *
' Both Witchi-Tai-To and Dansere are full of the fluid melody and invention that would define Garbarek's career.' -- The Times, (John Bungey) * * * *
'A vital insight into how Garbarek's adaptations of free and spiritual jazz created their own, distinctively northern European feel..."Witchi-Ti-To" and "Dansere" are close to masterpieces.' -- The Independent On Sunday, (Phil Johnson) * * * *
'The bass saxophone/bass duet of Close Enough for Jazz is a forgotten gem, as is Rypdal's closing solo showcase Lontano...Christensen is more time lord than timekeeper, doing impossible things with the bar lines.' -- Jazz Journal, (Brian Morton) * * * *
'A detailed commentary by Michael Tucker is very helpful in setting the recordings in context and showing all the connections between the musicians and repertoire.' --The Northern Echo, (Peter Bevan)
