2004's In Praise of Dreams served as Jan Garbarek's first new album in six years and features two musicians with whom the great Norwegian saxophonist shares some history – American-Armenian violist Kim Kashkashian and African-French drummer Manu Katché. Garbarek, Kashkashian and Katché span a lot of idioms between them, but the music here sings with a focused sense of purpose, in the context that Jan has shaped for it. If dreams are movies for the mind, the album is aptly titled - its atmospheres are evocative and decidedly ‘filmic'.

Musicians:
Jan Garbarek, saxophones
Kim Kashkashian, viola
Manu Katché, drums
