Triptykon is the fourth album by Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek, his third release on the ECM label, and is performed by Garbarek with Arild Andersen and Edward Vesala.
Jazz historian and Jazzwise journalist, Stuart Nicholson, identified Triptykon to be one of Garbarek’s top five best recordings, noting that it presented a ‘radical twist’ in Garbarek’s musical style. This ‘twist’ was also highlighted in an Allmusic review by Brian Olewnick, who awarded the album 4½ stars and stating, “Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek took several intriguing stylistic turns early in his career, none more extreme than that shown on Triptykon… an expressionist trio drawing on both free improvisation and Scandinavian folk tunes, roaring, stumbling, and reeling, evoking an aural equivalent of Edvard Munch. Garbarek’s work on all his reeds is assured and imaginative, even as the context is often dark and bleak… Highly recommended”.

25 years on from the release of Officium, the groundbreaking alliance of Jan Garbarek and The Hilliard Ensemble, comes Remember me, my dear, recorded during the final tour the group made in October 2014. The program is emblematic of the range of repertoire the Norwegian saxophonist and British vocal quartet explored together – from Pérotin, Hildegard von Bingen, Guillaume le Rouge, Antoine Brumel to Komitas, Arvo Pärt and more. It could be said that the Hilliard/Garbarek combination, in concert, transcended its source materials, with early music, contemporary composition and improvisation interfused in the responsive acoustics of sacred spaces. And this final album reminds us that the unique Garbarek/Hilliard combination, and its unprecedented exploration of sound, was consistently breathtaking.

The inspired bringing together of Jan Garbarek and the Hilliard Ensemble has resulted in consistently inventive music making since 1993. The unprecedented “Officium” album, with Garbarek’s saxophone as a free-ranging ‘fifth voice’ with the Ensemble, gave the first indications of the musical scope and emotional power of this combination. “Mnemosyne” (1998) took the story further, expanding the repertoire beyond ‘early music’ to embrace works both ancient and modern.

This 1978 release features four original, extended-length pieces by Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek, leading his quartet comprising keyboardist John Taylor, guitarist Bill Connors and drummer Jack DeJohnette.
A fairly sleepy ECM date, this outing matches Jan Garbarek on tenor, soprano and alto with guitarist Bill Connors, John Taylor (doubling on organ and piano) and drummer Jack DeJohnette for lengthy explorations of four of his originals. With such titles as “Reflections,” “Entering” and “Passing,” it is not surprising that the music has plenty of space, is introspective, and often emphasizes long tones.

Carta de Amor is a fascinating set of previously unreleased live recordings from three outstanding musicians: Jan Garbarek, Egberto Gismonti and Charlie Haden. The album documents music captured at Munich’s Amerika Haus in April, 1981 and highlights the trio’s improvisational empathy and sensibilities. Each musician contributes pieces to this repertoire which includes five pieces by Gismonti, Garbarek’s “Spor” and Charlie Haden’s “La Pasionaria”.
