Live performance is now available with the highest quality sound! ! ! While the Wayne Shorter Quartet has risen to the top of the American jazz quartets in recent years, the steady band of Jan Garbarek, Rainer Brüninghaus, Uri Daniel, and Trilok Gurtu are at the top of the European jazz quartets. The Garbarek group consists of four members. Although their musical styles are different, the two quartets have something in common: they bring out their true essence from within and develop unique music that no one can imitate with overwhelming originality and technique, and they maintain a pride in always moving forward. He reigns in the scene as a rare presence who lets you listen to true jazz. Unfortunately, the Shorter Quartet has been silent lately, but the Garbarek Group continues to perform as wonderfully as ever, albeit at their own pace. Two discs that completely record Garbarek Group’s latest October 12, 2018 Stockholm Jazz Festival performance in Sweden over an hour and a half using the label’s own carefully mastered super high-quality stereo soundboard. The set has arrived! ! ! Naturally, Garbarek Group appeared as the main act of the festival, and this work perfectly captures the beautiful stage of Garbarek Group, which is impossible to describe in words! The Garbarek Group’s majestic and splendid stage, which is worthy of this grand stage, is beautiful and grand, full of invisible energy that makes the majestic scenery of distant ancient times appear before your eyes, and a romanticism that cannot be expressed in words. In addition to this song, throughout the entire album, Garbarek uses his beloved Selmer tenor and Garbarek’s trademark carved soprano half and half, creating that unique clear and expansive tone that you can hear at first listen. It blows in perfectly. He also sometimes uses the Serie flute, which is a Norwegian folk instrument, without finger holes, to perform dialogues with Gurtu. Garbarek has said that this quartet format was greatly influenced by the percussionist Gurtu, and Gurtu’s role in this group is extremely important, with a drum set including bass drum, snare, and hi-hat, as well as tabla and jean. With a percussion set ranging from shakers, bells, various cymbals, gongs, chimes to buckets of water, he created a sound that would be hard to believe that he was playing alone. With his unique approach, he creates his own world and brings an important color to Garbarek’s current musical ideals. Bassist Daniel must have been under a lot of pressure when he first joined because he was replacing Weber, who had such a unique personality, but he has now achieved remarkable growth and become an indispensable part of the Garbarek group. , In the solo in the middle of the live performance, he even showed off a transcendental play that surpassed the shocking technique of Victor Wooten and Jaco Pastorius in their heyday. Daniel’s contribution to the group is also remarkable, bringing new sensibilities to the group and opening up new frontiers for the group’s future. And let’s not forget German keyboardist Brüninghaus, who has been playing in Garbarek’s group for over 20 years. He plays all kinds of keyboards, supports Garbarek’s music with samples and loops, and builds magnificent orchestrations that make this group special. The solo performance in the middle of the song is a gorgeous, aesthetic performance with a fantastical beauty that is out of this world, and in the second half, you can also hear Gurtu’s eight-faced, six-armed solo. This is truly a perfect performance filled with the ultimate beauty that can be called the royal road to ECM sound…The latest and greatest live performance from the Garbarek Group, which continues to evolve and has reached a height that no one else can compare to.
