There are at least a couple of similarities between Jan and Jim Pepper. They both have that robust soaring sound in their sax playing. Jan as with Pepper looked to his roots especially in his later works. His focus on Nordic folk themes was much like Jim Pepper's nod to his heritage. Kudos to both. Two great sax men!
I have come to wonder if this song is so powerful that it is impossible to do a bad version! I have heard so many versions over the years and while Jim Peppers' many versions will always be the best, I can't say that I have ever heard a bad version.
Most cameramen don't know how to film jazz. They don't even know if it's the melody or not, who's soloing, or anything. I guess that's true with producers as well.
I've seen Garbarek 10-15 times and never liked him with Katche. Jan's music demands and deserves much more than a simple drum set player. Unless, of course, it's Jon Christensen.
Me, too. Jon Christensen's my man. He was so tasteful, sensitive, and musical in his playing. I was fortunate enough to see both Jon and Jan many times, but never together. Manu was a poor choice by Garbarek. Maybe Trilok Gurtu or Marilyn Mazur were unavailable. Nana died.
@@jonathanedwards8696 "Poor choice" by Jan Garbarek? Katché appeared on at least four studio recordings of Jan's. Any number of tours and Jan played on at least two of Katché's studio recordings and toured with Manu as well. Christensen's great. No doubt but he ISN"T IN THIS GROUP. I can't understand why so many people can't deal with what's presented and pretend they know more than the musicians.
Once in a while, Garbarek makes some poor choices, like the one deciding to hire Katche. His music demands and deserves more than a simple drum set player.
Never liked Garbarek with Mano Katche. His music deserves and demands much more than a simple drum set player. Manu sounds like he's going into "Inna-godda-de-vida" here. So inappropriate for a piece with so much sensitivity. I've seen Garbarek 10 or 15 times. I could never figure him out. And, he won't do interviews. I don't know what he has to hide. My favorite show; the 1986 tour for "It's Okay to Listen to the Gray Voice." David Torn, who replaced Bill Frissell kicked the band's ass bringing energy and excitement to Garbarek's usual reserved approach. I saw that show once in Boston and twice in New York. I couldn't get enough.
I agree it's heavy handed. It struck me as odd and without the expected sensitivity, but I also like that it keeps it from being schmaltzy and too-smooth jazz. Though I sympathize w your comment. Going to seek out that video now, w Torn. Thanks
I found it brought an emotional intensity to the song, a build up. I play drums, and understood what he was feeling. It didn’t sound “wrong to me”. Cheers -
unfortunately I did , twice , was enough . Yes i am , I like people like Ari Hoenig , Eric Harland , Henry Cole , and not less than 20 european drummers - mostly norvegians- can play with Jan more appropriate , but YOU probably never heard nothing of this .....
*Norwegians*... P.S: the drummer does a remarkable job on this. If it's good enough for Mr Garbarek, it should be good enough for you... Greetings from NorWay;)
if remarkable for you doesnt mean must be so for everybody . Also peter erskine was good enough to play in trio with John Taylor and palle but ask them WHY they played together since nothing connected . So Why mr. Garbarek choiched this man ? Certainly not because he were good lees or more
In Finnish: Tätä Garbarekin versiota on kuunneltu sen julkaisusta lähtien. Löytyy hyllystä vinyylinä! On myös ollut hauska tutustua muihinkin tulkintoihin, ja varsinkin alkuperäiseen. There is something magic in this...
My other favorite sax player - I hear Jim Pepper's spirit and sound in so many players who never even knew who he was. He lives on through all of us.
Exactly!

Yeah, I grew up in Portland where Pepper is from. I heard him over a hundred times.
I have listened to many vocal versions, this instrumental one is softer but of the same spirit. :)
water spirit feelin' springin' round my head makes me feel glad that I'm not dead
Love, love, love this song for decades....
Einer der besten Bassisten spielt zusammen mit einem der besten Saxophonisten ...
never have I seen a musician playing a modified pez dispenser like this
und zis iz my leetle sax
but seriously, this is fantastic. Pepper died in 1992, what a touching version of this song.
Ich sah und hörte ihn in 1987 und 1989 in Hamburg und Bremen. Ich würde wieder hingehen wenn er hier mal wieder spielt.
Los noventas sin duda marcan un sonido muy especial en el jazz supremo del norte de Europa.
"Scandinavian Jazz".

still love it!!
This is the Hollywood version of this song. And fwiw i love Jan's playing.
you do the song well, its not easy to conjure up Jim Pepper.only cover of this tune I really liked. Thank You
I thought Jim Pepper wrote it...
Ralph Towner's group Oregon does a good version.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Gorgeous!!!
Superb song. But how could the producer not show RB during the piano solo!

RB tears it up!

J'adore le jeu de Manu katche (drums) ! Elégance , groove , espace ,pulsation , finesse...
Without seeing who was on drums I knew it had to be Manu! You said it.."Elégance , groove , espace ,pulsation , finesse..."!
Brüninghaus and Weber create that special 70s ECM sound here when I started to listen to jazz. Weber was my man then.

@@jonathanedwards8696 100% agreed with everyone here. Christensen or Marilyn for sure...

Marc t - you don't get to play a gig as part of the Jan Garbarek Group - the rhythm section with Eberhard Weber! - if you don't have the chops.
He's not talking about chops
Once in a while, Garbarek makes some poor choices, like the one deciding to hire Katche. His music demands and deserves more than a simple drum set player.
He's got chops, but no sensitivity.
Bravo
Hah, the people love it.
i wonder why the watch on the left hand is soooo far above
Because the strap is loose and slides up Weber's arm, while he's playing bass it's more vertical. .
Gravity or dudes got some giant hamhocks for hands and was originally meant to box .
Oh, wie viel versprach Europa damals! Wie deprimierend ist das Heute! Damals: Beuys und Gabarek. Heute: AfD und Klum.
this is the song Pavement has been covering on their 2022 world tour?

Wieso findet man auf seinen CDs keine passende Tonart, das muß alles vom Endmix gepitcht sein, was soll das?
James Hetfield on bass.
LoL, I fear few get it. Too good, my thought rolling into this peaceful ensemble.
I've seen Garbarek 8-10 times. Katche is too bangy and noisy for this gentle, lyrical, music.

manu katche , the worst drummer for this music !!!! heavy hand , boomy sound , nothing connected with the others
heavy hand? are you even musician?
he has killer dynamics, you probably have not heard him live

Le son du bassiste, très personnel, très singulier...
Very very good
