About: Jan Garbarek

A founding voice of the ECM sound, Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek has spent six decades weaving Norwegian folk melody, medieval polyphony, and jazz improvisation into something entirely his own. His sharp-edged soprano and tenor tone - built on long, keening notes and deliberate silence - is among the most recognisable in contemporary music.
