- It's hard to believe that after recording as a leader for 40 years, DRESDEN: IN CONCERT is Jan Garbarek's first-ever live album. For those who think that Garbarek abandoned jazz some time ago, this will be a shock. DRESDEN is an engaged, kinetic, double-disc, two-hour performance of his quartet playing in the modern jazz idiom and using all of its tenets--from complex harmonics and rhythmic invention to extended lyric improvisation--to create a tour de force that honors all the music he holds dear. Garbarek plays tenor, soprano, and selje flute here, and is accompanied by his regular group that includes drummer Manu Katche, pianist/keyboadist Rainer Brninghaus, and electric bassist Yuri Daniel. There are 16 compositions that include tracks from previous albums -- some of them radically but exquisitely revamped for this quartet and performance. There are also tunes by his bandmates, and an extended, stellar reading of Milton Nascimento's gorgeous "Milagro Dos Piexes," that features some of the most inventive and dynamic dialogue between Garbarek and Brninghaus on record.
Professional Reviews JazzTimes (pp.60-61) - "Garbarek, naturally, puts a lot of space in his playing; on 'Heitor' he even clips the notes of his soulful solo."
JazzTimes (p.36) - Ranked #38 in JazzTimes' "Top 50 CDs of 2009."
Record Collector (magazine) (p.87) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[A] dynamic and enthralling new live double set recorded in Germany..."

This double-disc live release by Jan Garbarek is one of his best releases in many years, placing him firmly in a modern-jazz setting, featuring piano, electric bass and drums. The music the band plays is varied but constantly engaging, featuring some fantastic playing on both soprano and tenor by Garbarek, reaching some stunning new heights on the latter instrument. For fans of Garbarek, this is an essential purchase, especially for those wanting to hear him in a more jazz-oriented setting than his more ambient-influenced recordings. Highlights include "Paper Nut", "Milagre Dos Peixes", "The Reluctant Saxophonist", "Voy Cantando" and great re-arrangements of "Twelve Moons" and "Once I Dreamt A Tree Upside Down".
