Description
Garbarek is a solitary saxophonist who is at the top of European jazz musicians, not just in Norway. He plays transparent tones and beautiful melodies that no one else can produce, and his group sound, which makes full use of the magnificent orchestration he built with Eberhard Weber, is one of a kind. The latest wonderful live performance of the Garbarek Group in 2021 is here for the first time! ! ! ! Surprisingly, they are still evolving and always provide a fresh and progressive sound. Their performance at the USEDOMORE MUSIK Festival in Germany on October 2, 2021, which was just held, has been recorded on the ultimate high-quality stereo sound board with careful mastering by the label. ! ! ! Naturally, the Garbarek Group appeared as the main act of the festival, and this work perfectly captures the beautiful stage of the Garbarek Group, which is impossible to describe in words! The magnificent and magnificent performance of the Garbarek Group, which is suitable for this big stage, includes beautiful and grandiose music filled with an invisible energy that makes you imagine a majestic scene of ancient times, and a romanticism that is hard to express in words. Throughout the entire performance, Garbarek plays his beloved Selmer tenor and his trademark curved soprano in half, perfectly blowing his unique, transparent and endlessly smooth tone that is recognizable at first listen. He also sometimes plays the Norwegian folk instrument, the Serie flute, which has no finger holes, to show off his exchanges with Gurtu. Garbarek said that the quartet format was heavily influenced by percussionist Gurtu, whose role in the group is extremely important. He has constructed a sound that is hard to believe is being played by just one person, with a drum set including bass drum, snare, and hi-hat, as well as a percussion set including tabla, djembe, shaker, bells, various cymbals, gongs, chimes, and even a bucket of water. He has also created a unique world with his unique approach, bringing an important color to the music that Garbarek currently idealizes. Bassist Daniel must have felt a lot of pressure when he joined the group, as he was the successor to the very unique Weber, but he has also grown significantly to become an indispensable member of the Garbarek group, and in his solo in the middle of the live performance, he even showed off a transcendental playing style that surpassed the shocking techniques of Victor Wooten and Jaco Pastorius in their heydays. Daniel’s contribution to the group is also remarkable, bringing a new sensibility to the group and opening up new ground for the group’s future. And we must not forget Brüninghaus, the German keyboard treasure who has been playing in Garbarek’s group for over 20 years. He plays all kinds of keyboards, and supports Garbarek’s music with sampling and loops, building magnificent orchestrations that make this group special. In the solo in the middle, he performs a glittering and aesthetic performance with a fantastic beauty that seems out of this world, and in the second half, you can also hear Gurtu’s all-out solo. This is a perfect performance filled with the ultimate beauty that can be said to be the royal road of ECM sound… The latest supreme live performance of the Garbarek Group, which continues to evolve and has reached a height that no one can compare to, is completely recorded on the highest quality stereo sound board, the ultimate item that you have to listen to!
