In addition to his solo piano concerts and the American group he led that featured tenor saxophonist
Dewey Redman,
Keith Jarrett was also busy in the mid-'70s with his European band, a quartet comprised of
Jan Garbarek on tenor and soprano, bassist
Palle Danielsson, and drummer
Jon Christensen. Due to the popularity of the haunting "My Song," this album is the best known of the
Jarrett-
Garbarek collaborations and it actually is their most rewarding meeting on record.
Jarrett contributed all six compositions and the results are relaxed and introspective yet full of inner tension. ~ Scott Yanow
