The deep and lasting impression left by listening to this innovative album Jan Garbarek pushes me to take pen in addition the many glowing reviews for this album which immediately appears as one of the finest gems of the label ECM. The themes are a beauty and immediately accessible mainly arranged in a way addictive. Garbarek is innovative by being more restrained in saxes for a little more synthesizers. But the innovative element, the musical event of this album is the wonderful and bright complementarity between sax Garbarek and viola violist of the famous American of Armenian descent Kim Kashkashian. Violist does not launch into daring improvisations but follows the steps of Garbarek to give his subjects a depth and warmth that gives the whole album a captivating beauty almost intoxicating. Katché on drums gives these themes a rhythm while velvet, simple and effective. More doubts we have indeed the Master Garbarek flagship Work sip of poetry but not austere highly vibrant and serene. Not to be missed ..
