Pieces include a tribute to Don Cherry and reworkings of the Garbarek classics, “It’s OK to listen to the gray voice” and “So mild the wind, so meek the water.” There are abundant references to scattered music of the world, from Norway to India, as well as a setting – for voices and saxophone – of a Native American poem, and the surprise inclusion of Jansug Kakhidze’s “The moon over Mtatsminda,” sung by its composer with the Tbilisi Symphony Orchestra. In total, this is the most comprehensive recording Jan Garbarek has made to date, and his subtle saxophone artistry has never been more persuasive. 2-LP set.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003estreet date 10\/16\/2026\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"UMG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45198138573000,"sku":"602455539489","price":70.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/1337\/2616\/files\/AECM_43641__185010__01192024092615-3958.jpg?v=1787342564","url":"https:\/\/1234gorecords.shop\/products\/602455539489","provider":"1-2-3-4 Go!
