Icons of Jazz | Jan Garbarek Group feat. Trilok Gurtu
Katarzyna Jackowska
Szczecin Philharmonic
One of the greatest saxophonists in the history of jazz, Jan Garbarek, returns to Poland. The Norwegian musician will appear in Szczecin with his superb group and one of the world’s finest percussionists, Trilok Gurtu.
His music breathes and allows space to breathe. Its sound is at once simple and complex. On the one hand, it can be as intricate as a hymn; on the other, it is spare, playful, sometimes grave and contemplative, yet always strikingly open.
No one plays the saxophone quite like Jan Garbarek. His unmistakable sound has long since become his defining hallmark, transcending what is commonly understood as jazz. Through countless recordings, performances in the world’s leading concert halls, his long-standing collaboration with Keith Jarrett, and his unprecedented work with the Hilliard Ensemble, the reach of this exceptional saxophonist extends across genres and beyond borders.
In his compositions and improvisations, Jan Garbarek reveals himself as a virtuoso of profoundly melodic music that speaks directly to the soul. His expansive sound world stretches from absolute serenity to expressive ecstasy, radiating a remarkable sense of calm that never for a moment allows the music to become predictable.
