To "Spirits" I have an ambivalent relationship. If I'm in the mood, I find the music awesome, if not, I can not hear, then only annoying. Keith Jarrett had drawn in 1985 in his home studio in New Jersey back and played on their own a little with its instruments of Pakistani flute, tablas, South American Shakers, Percussion, Saxophone, Piano, Glockenspiel, etc., mixing everything together. The outcome was 110 minutes World music, which is very unique, a musical Panopticon, a constant oscillation between the Peruvian Andes, African savannah and the Pakistani Karakorum. Sometimes the whole of Jan Garbarek remembers. Keith Jarrett was going through a personal crisis and so is "Spirits" a musical search for meaning. The quoted in the booklet Rilke poem umschreibet it this way: "swiftly changes the world - like clouds shapes - everything Consummate falls - home to the ancient."
