This album was recorded in Oslo, Norway, in 1979 by Charlie Haden (b), Jan Garbarek (ts, ss), and Egberto Gismonti (g, p), all of whom have a strong spiritual orientation. The three musicians are all in their element on this album, with Gismonti's open-ended 8-string guitar and Garbarek's soaring soprano saxophone on A3, and Gismonti's squall-like high-speed piano on B2, which is simply too good to be true. The delicate and spiritual sound that develops while respecting each other's sounds in a tense atmosphere is a wonderful work.
A3: Cego Aderaldo
B2: Equilibrist
