Jan Garbarek - In Praise of Dreams LAME MP3 192Kbps

"In Praise of Dreams" – Jan Garbarek’s first new album in six years - features two musicians with whom the great Norwegian saxophonist shares some history – American-Armenian violist Kim Kashkashian and African-French drummer Manu Katché. Garbarek, Kashkashian and Katché span a lot of idioms between them, but the music sings with a focussed sense of purpose, in the context that Jan has shaped for it. If dreams are movies for the mind, the album is aptly titled - its atmospheres are evocative and decidedly 'filmic'.

Manu Katché drums



As seen from above

In praise of dreams

One goes there alone

Knot of place and time

If you go far enough

Scene from afar

Cloud of unknowing

Without visible sign

Iceburn

Conversation with a stone

A tale begun
