JAN GARBAREK: TRIPTYKON

An early document of Jan Garbarek as free improviser on ECM, Triptykon sees the saxophonist paired up with his Norwegian cohort Arild Andersen and the Finnish percussionist Edward Vesala. The Swiss weekly Weltwoche had high praise for the album in the year of its release: “In this Norwegian triptych, free jazz has found a form that doesn’t need not be feared as shackles.”
