Marilyn Mazur & Jan Garbarek - Elixir

An album of solos and intimate duos with, as its starting point, the sound of Marilyn Mazur�s percussion instruments, collected from all over the world � each of them allowed to �speak� with its own voice � either alone or in dialogue with Jan Garbarek�s saxophones. The Danish percussionist spent 14 years on the road with the Jan Garbarek Group, appearing on albums including �I Took Up The Runes�, �Twelve Moons�, �Visible Worlds� and �Rites�, but �Elixir� marks the first time that Mazur has established the parameters for their musical collaboration. In these improvisations she continually triggers new responses from Garbarek: yearning melodies, joyful dances, meditations.
