Even after half a century, it still carries the freshness and excitement of new discoveries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe album marked the debut of four Norwegian improvisers - \u003cstrong\u003eJan Garbarek\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eTerje Rypdal\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eArild Andersen\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eJon Christensen\u003c\/strong\u003e - at the ECM label. This marked the beginning of a long-lasting partnership with each musician, whose influence would extend far beyond Norway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout \u003cem\u003eAfric Pepperbird\u003c\/em\u003e, Rypdal often takes the lead with tight chords while Christensen and Andersen explore extended passages. Garbarek's free jazz vocabulary is prominently featured, prompting reviewer Joe Klee from DownBeat to write, \"\u003cq\u003eGarbarek should be heard. I would venture that not since Django Reinhardt has there been a European jazz musician so original and forward-looking as this young Norwegian.\u003c\/q\u003e\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ECM","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50399600410955,"sku":"2175841","price":37.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_191961bb_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726506731","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/afric-pepperbird-3","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
