Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Norwegian saxophonist convened a remarkable quartet featuring Bill Frisell, Eberhard Weber, and Jon Christensen for this pristine studio session. Characterized by expansive, ice-cool atmospheres and profound lyrical melodicism, 'Paths, Prints' exemplifies the quintessential Scandinavian jazz aesthetic. It remains a masterclass in atmospheric restraint that Garbarek helped define for the ECM label.
