Album Notes & Community Reviews

Helmed by Klaus Doldinger's versatile saxophone work, 'Garden of Eden' presents a highly polished, heavily synthesized approach to European jazz-rock. The compositions incorporate smooth, melodic fusion with driving, almost disco-inflected rhythms, securing the band's continued commercial viability in the rapidly changing jazz marketplace. It serves as a sleek, highly accessible artifact of late-seventies instrumental pop.
