Red Lanta

The album title is anagram of Art Lande, the idiosyncratic US pianist making his ECM debut in a set of his own tunes, very ably partnered by Jan Garbarek on a recording described by Down Beat as one of the finest albums ECM has yet releasedIt is the interplay of the two artists that elicits the full richness of the music. Lande and Garbarek have intelligently channelled their virtuosity, forging a uniquely inspired vision. The result is enthralling. Recorded 1973.

Personnel: Art Lande (piano); Jan Garbarek (flutes, soprano and bass saxophones)
