... and the most hidden is from us! Thanks to ECM tons of restrictions and copyright rules! Good thing I owned them all, but can't share them unfortunately! 😞
Garbarek has assembled this type of group sound in his earliest ECM recordings with Arild Andersen on bass and Terje Rypdal on guitar with albums like Afric .Pepperbird. Solstice with Christensen and Weber and the wonderful acoustic and 12 string work of Ralph Towner may be my all time favorite ECM recording of the more than 500 that I’ve enjoyed. This version of Dansere is somehow even better/more dynamic than the album version with Bobo Stenson piano and Palle Danielsson bass and, of course RIP Christensen. Five out of four stars!
Classic Garbarek group setting - three Northern Europ ECM Jazz masters and a young Frisell figuring out his atmospheric ambient guitar - tentative but heading in the right direction. Beautiful - so many great Garbarek compositions here from his mature period.
I don't hear anything tentative about Frisell here. If anything, this was around the time he was at his peak, IMO. Totally identifiable within a note. The Paul Motian Band album _Psalm_ is even earlier, and one of my favorites.
I wish there was more of this -- covering tunes on Side 1 of the album. This band was exquisite. Frisell left the band because of a scheduling conflict that he was not made aware of in a timely fashion by ECM; tragic. Garbarek was crushed by the turn of events and elected to work with keyboard players after that, not guitarists.
Anybody knows what's that pickup in the bridge of Bill's SG? He's playing with it all the time. It's not easy to see because of his hand position, but it's visible from time to time, for instance in 20:45 and a couple of seconds later. The sound is very similar to the Klein's bridge pickup (of course I know it doesn't depend entirely on the pup, but on Bill's fingers and effects, etc, but anyway). Thanks for posting the video. It's very nice to see Bill playing with Garbarek and Weber.
@@ismaelbelda1 i've found some info about it on a facebook post, on the profile of the guitarist Aram Bajakian (if you don't know him check him out, he's great!) it's a recent post, you should find it easily. the post it's a rare video of a solo performance of bill from 86. the guitar it's the same, and someone in the comments says that the pickup might be a gretsch filtertron. hope i helped.
@@MickRose90 Thanks! But it doesn't look like a Filtertron: the metal band between the two coils is too thin... Anyway, I'll be sure to check out Adam Bajakian. Cheers!
Hey Bill, that time when I saw you standing with your drummer outside the Tractor Tavern in Seattle while I was washing dishes in my second floor apartment across the street and then ran down to shake your hand (circa 1998-99) and I said that I'd been listening to you since the Seventies. It was actually 1982 with Eberhard Weber's Later That Evening. It's bugged me ever since that I got the date wrong. Forgive. I was in full blown Beatle Fan mode, I'm kinda surprised I didn't scream like a little girl.
Simply terrific music for so many years.
A terrific band-one of Jan's best. Bill Frisell really added something special here. A nice upload-thank you.
My favorite period of Garbarek's. The three mid-80s fusion albums. Frissell played on the first two and David Torn played on the third.
thanks for sharing. really cool stuff
This band keeps on sounding fantastic. One of my faves all times.
PAths / Prints is my favorite Jazz record of all times. Great to see some of this material performed life.

Frisell. Wow. Just, wow.
Thanks Aaron! I don't know how you do what you do, but it all makes life better for us Frizzheads.
Top of the Top, Mastership, Creatività
✨✨✨
One of the great European jazz bands. Wayfarer is a particularly brilliant album. Thanks for posting.
not discounting Frisell's amazing US contribution! 😀
no doubt this is the best period for frisell... that sound
He was playing humbuckers in those days.... ;-)
Garbarek's best period as well. Three mid-80s fusion albums. Frissell played on the first two and then was replaced by David Torn.
All these great musicians that played on the ECM label always made fantastic music...Thank-You.
That is true, but very difficult to share anything from this label !!! 😞
Can't believe I hadn't heard this before.
Great post! i especially like the third track, composed by Eberhard Weber.
Many thanks for sharing this wonderful video!! Just a detail, Jan Garbarek didn't play an alto saxophone, this is a curved soprano saxophone!
Is that saxophone named "sopranino" ?

Thank God and Manfred Eicher for ECM! The best music on planet Earth.
beautiful, atmospheric music
The late Jon Christensen on drums. Deserving wider recognition.
Wonderful!!
sublime
How do you get this stuff Aaron? Thank you so much!
I think this is this earliest video I've seen of Frisell.

it could be a gretsch pickup...
@@MickRose90 Yeah, I thought so myself, but I've never seen that exact model...
