The organ provides a backdrop of shifting sonoritiesu2026DeJohnette's playing is airy, concentrating on cymbals, creating shimmering webs of rhythm. Up front is Garbarek, the only real solo voice. He speaks slowly, with attention to detail. He has a fine sense of pitch, so that when he ornaments a note with a bend, a slur or a grace note, it is done precisely, consciouslyu2026' The album stands as one of Garbarek's strongest statements as a player. Reviewing Places in 1978, Don Heckman wrote in High Fidelity that Garbarek was 'easily the best sax player to emerge from Europe in the last decade.' rrPersonnel: Jan Garbarek (tenor and soprano saxophones), Bill Connors (guitar), John Taylor (organ, piano), Jack DeJohnette (drums)
