With his atmospheric and quietly intense tone, and his textural - almost sculptural explorations of austere severity and melodic warmth, Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek has come to epitomise the sounds of ECM, the record label he's called home since the early 70s. He continues to push the boundaries and reach new audiences through his work with contemporary classical musicians, forays into Asian music and an ongoing fascination with Scandinavian folk melodies.
