Jan Garbarek - I Took Up The Runes

Part of the 'Touchstones' series of specially-priced and newly packaged albums from ECM's back catalogue. All featuring the original artwork and brand new packaging - double cardboard sleeves reminiscent of the original LPs.

Garbarek's disparate inspirations - folk, jazz, world - are beautifully fused together on this bestseller which features the driving drumming of Manu Katch� and the masterly percussion of Nana Vasconcelos, plus great contributions from Garbarek stalwarts, Rainer Br�ninghaus and Eberhard Weber.

Recorded 1990.
