Agnes Buen Garnås & Jan Garbarek

Agnes Buen Garnås : vocal Jan Garbarek: synthesizers, percussion instruments, soprano, tenor saxophones One of the classic recordings of new Norwegian music, an exploration of the austerity of the Nordic medieval song by two vastly different and accomplished artists. Agnes Buen Garnås (born 23 November 1946) is a Norwegian folk singer from the county of Telemark. She comes from a famous musical family from the town of Jondalen, and is known particularly for her singing of ancient unaccompanied Norwegian ballads. She has also performed and recorded updated arrangements of these songs, in collaboration with the Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek, on the ECM album Rosensfole. Jan Garbarek (born 4 March 1947 in Mysen, Norway) is a Norwegian jazz tenor and soprano saxophonist. Read more on Last.fm.
