Jan Garbarek - Selected Recordings

�This retrospective compilation represents 30 wonderful years of my life.... I hope as you listen that you will, in some measure, hear the joy I�ve had making each of these recordings.� Approached to record for ECM at the very beginning of its history; Jan Garbarek has since appeared on more than 50 albums for the label, and along the way has changed perceptions of improvisation, living up to George Russell�s early estimation of him as �the most uniquely talented jazz musician Europe has produced since Django Reinhardt.� Garbarek�s double album traces the growth of his own groups, his collaborations with a wide range of musicians � from Keith Jarrett to the Hilliard Ensemble � and his investigations of Nordic and other folk traditions.
