  • Jan Garbarek

    Concert

    31 Jan 2010 to 31 Jan 2010

    Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek has come to epitomise the sound of ECM, the record label he's called home since the early 70s, with his atmospheric and quietly intense tone, and his textural - almost sculptural - explorations of austere severity and melodic warmth. Expect sounds both timeless and modern, ethereal and earthy from this defining voice in European jazz.
