Weber

Another old favorite, I heard this track several times on Dubi Lentz's Jazz radio show in the late eighties, and was mesmerized. I have looked for the CD with this track in it, but because I didn't know it's name, and this being before the age of Internet audio samples, it took me five years to zero in onto the right disk. On this track, Weber's bass and Jan Garbarek's sax, start out with a circular tune, with a backdrop of some of Garbarek's magical northern sounds. Ralf Humber joins in with an offbeat marching drum, and then Garbarek (to whom I will defiantly devote several entries...) starts screaming with the sax. But it is all put under control after a short while and the track ends in a subdued air of resignation.
