What's up with Jan Garbarek in recent years?  Limited research shows he has not really been recording for about a decade. Admittedly, I have not collected much of his work.  I liked him in the trio with Haden and Gismonti, as well as with Jarrett's European quartet.  Some of his own early solo worked sounded good--pretty different from the later low-key stuff.  He has had one of the longest runs ever on ECM, and it is a highly diverse output.  I have sampled rather than explored.  I do like several tracks on the live album Dresden. Whether one is a fan or not, it has been a major career.  He appears to be one of the most important European jazz musicians...ever.   I am just wondering what he has been up to lately, and who here has been keeping up with his work.

I like Jack's groove on this one:    

One of my two or three favorite McLean albums, which is saying a lot.

Sounds excellent so far. Thanks for the heads up.
