Triptykon
From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Work
Triptykon was recorded on 8 November 1972 and released the following year on ECM. It is the fourth album by the Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek and his third for that label. He plays in a trio with the bassist Arild Andersen and the drummer Edward Vesala, and himself alternates between soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone, bass saxophone and flute.
The music draws on free improvisation and on Scandinavian folk melodies, such as the traditional Bruremarsj. This produces a dark and at times bare sound. AllMusic compared it to a sonic version of Edvard Munch, roaring, stumbling and staggering. Stuart Nicholson of Jazzwise counted the record among the five most important recordings by this saxophonist and spoke of a radical turn in his style.
