Jan Garbarek - Places (1978)

1.Reflections
2.Entering
3.Going Places
4.Passing.

Jan Garbarek Saxophone
John Taylor Piano, Organ
Bill Connors Guitar
Jack DeJohnette Drums.

A fairly sleepy ECM date, this outing matches Jan Garbarek on tenor, soprano and alto with guitarist Bill Connors, John Taylor (doubling on organ and piano) and drummer Jack DeJohnette for lengthy explorations of four of his originals. With such titles as "Reflections," "Entering" and "Passing," it is not surprising that the music has plenty of space, is introspective, and often emphasizes long tones.
