Groundbreaking sounds from the Norwegian scene of the late 60s – an album that's got George Russell's name on the cover, but which actually features brilliant performances from a quartet who'd go onto become huge names in the ECM scene of the 70s! Yet the sound here is quite different than ECM, too – very full and free – with vibrant work that really illuminates the younger years of these musicians – a sublime quartet that includes Jan Garbarek on tenor and soprano sax, Terje Rypdal on guitar, Arild Anderson on bass, and Jon Cristensen on drums! Some tunes are quite free, while others have a spiritual sense of soul that's equally grat – and throughout the record, all players express themselves in an unfettered way.
Very much of its time, here's a recent re-issue by Ace Records of the Flying Dutchman album, previously released on the Freedom label under Jan Garbarek's name.
The 1970s and 1980s saw jazz become a different sort of music. It continued to draw from its American roots, but truly original voices from Europe became as important as their US counterparts. One of the most important markers of change was a group of Norwegian players who became some of the core performers on Manfred Eicher’s ECM label. The musicians – Jan Garbarek, Terje Rypdal, Arild Andersen and Jon Christensen – first came together as the Esoteric Circle on this Flying Dutchman album produced by veteran jazz composer George Russell.
Russell, who had moved to Scandinavia in the mid-60s, was the pioneer of the Lydian Chromatic Concept Of Tonal Organization, a modal scale which proved highly influential on Miles Davis and Eric Dolphy. He recorded several records of his own, which brought him into contact with the players that made up the Esoteric Circle.
This album is far from the finished article; Rypdal and Garbarek are still feeling the way towards their ultimate sound. That said, more ideas fizz through its 44 minutes than many less-inventive players provided in their entire careers. An exciting record, it pointed the way for much of what happened in European jazz over the following decade.
