I have been a fan of Jan Garbarek ever since first hearing his work with Keith Jarrett's European quartet.

What are his first recordings?

Is Esoteric Circle (with Terje Rypdal) his first LP? It is on Arista and was recorded in Oslo in 1969.

I found a copy in a salvation army for $1.99. Recorded in '69, it probably is among his earliest if not the first one.

Thanks

Garbarek appeared (along with fellow Scandinavians of future renown) on several George Russell recordings from the late 60s.

He-who-must-not-be-named started a thread on Garbarek a few months ago.

Doesen't Garbarek have an LP on a Scandinavian Columbia imprint from the late '60s as well? I seem to recall seeing this LP offered somewhere before...
