"Dresden" (CD review)

...Jan Garbarek Group, 2009.

A live double cd of a performance on October 20, 2007 in the Alter Schlachthof.
With Rainer Brueninghaus on keyboards, Yuri Daniel on bass and Manu Katche on drums.

Lyrical jazz.
Technically impressive.
Flawless, shiny, cool, with warm and even humorous moments.
Moments for pause, reflection, and awe.
A spiritual expression.
Space.
A huge array of dynamics.
The best drummer in the world!

And the sax player isn't bad either!

Cool you down on a sunny day, mellow you out with a shot of whisky on the rocks.

10/10.
