In Praise Of Dreams

”In Praise of Dreams” issued for the first time on vinyl, 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’.

Personnel: Jan Garbarek (tenor and soprano saxophones, synthesizers, samplers, percussion), Kim Kashkashian (viola), Manu Katché (drums)

Tracks: As seen from above / In praise of dreams / One goes there alone / Knot of place and me / If you go far enough / Scene from afar / Cloud of unknowing / Without visible sign / Iceburn / Conversation with a stone / A tale begun
