Nobody plays the Saxophone quite like Jan Garbarek. His sound has become an unmistakable trademark and this sound for some time now has acquired another dimension than what is generally understood as Jazz. Innumerable record releases, concerts in the most significant concert-halls throughout the world, the many years he collaborated with Keith Jarrett or his unprecedented work with the Hilliard Ensemble have made this unique Saxophonist popular across all musical genres and borders.

It has never been of any interest to him that critics need to find convenient labels to sort people out into musical categories. Garbarek eludes this attempt. You find his work in Jazz, Classic and Pop-charts. Since the early days of the Munich cult label ECM he has been one of its most successful representatives.

The sound alone certainly does not make the music. In his compositions and improvisations Jan Garbarek is a master of unbelievable tuneful music that cuts right into our soul. Expansive sound spaces stretch from absolute tranquility to expressive rapture, radiating an astounding sense of peace that however does not allow a moment of boredom. His concerts develop in a highly organic manner providing a wide ark of rising tension. This music breathes and provides space to breathe. This music sounds simple and complex at the same time. This music is hymnal and sparse, playful and serious, immersed and exceptionally open, intense rather than sentimental.

On his current tour Jan Garbarek will be accompanied by his keyboardist of many years, Rainer Brüninghaus, the e-bassist from Brazil, Yuri Daniel and master drummer Trilok Gurtu from India. These musicians, all of them technically highly trained, guarantee that the mutual journey will offer an extraordinary concert experience filled with magical moments. An unmistakable sense for density and ambience generates a sound space that leaves traces in ones deepest self - a sensual sensation.

The Ambassador of Norwegian jazz, legendary saxophone player Jan Garbarek, is known world wide for his unique sound. Already at the beginning of his career, at the end of the 60’s, Garbarek made a great impact to the jazz audiences with his characteristic way of playing. From those days on the critics have referred to him and his quartet with the words “The big Four”, a group that defined what Norwegian improvising music is.

The reputation of Garbarek grew even lerger while he was playing in Keith Jarrets band from 1974 on. Touring life was busy, since also his own group, “Jan Garbarek ? Bobo Stenson Quartet”, was one of the most popular live-performances of that time. Garbarek took a step away from the big stages, he wanted to concentrate on a deeper understanding of his own voice. The journey was long, but as a result an album trilogy of ambient style recordings were created (1976-1988). The bold use of echo, minimalistic sounds and the rugged scenery of silence became the strongest trademarks of Garbarek, but also of the ECM record company.
In 2005 Garbareks record, In Praise of Dreams, was Grammy -nominated for the best Instrumental Jazz record.

40 years after his ECM debut, Norway's Jan Garbarek remains one of the most recognisable voices in jazz. He has been fundamental in creating a distinctly European perspective on the music, as well as in establishing the so-called 'Nordic tone'. Yet the saxophonist negotiates his expansive, ethereal soundscapes with rare humanity, his sound like warm breath floating in frosty air. Garbarek's new band, featuring the master Indian percussionist Trilok Gurtu, is a fusion act in the true sense ? and a clear highlight of this year's festival. 'Neither classical nor jazz, neither new nor old, this music simply exists, for everyone's wonder and nourishment' The Times

2007年4月は、Eberhard Weberさんが療養に入った月とかで気がかりでしたが、その直前の様子となるのでしょうか。Dresdenに負けないライブです。

久しぶりにまた観ましたが、何度みてもいい映画でした。昨年亡くなった名優Pete Postlethwaite の最後のスピーチは、まさにクライマックスで、名演です。この物語の背景・心情に共感して現代に焼き移してみる人も大勢いるのではないかと思います。人としての基本が描かれていると感心します。
