About

On their ECM album 'Aftenland', Jan Garbarek and Kjell Johnsen explored the connections between organ and saxophone. Now, Azerbaijan's two leading jazz performers - saxophonist Rain Sultanov and pianist Isfar Sarabski - present a sequel of sorts. In their cosmic game, the organ represents holiness. The saxophone describes our deepest emotions. And the piano binds the two together. Nine delicate and ethereal pieces about hope, faith and deliverance, moving in slow motion. Despite its almost funereal pace, however, this is not the domain of darkness, but the abode of light. If you listen very carefully, you can hear rays of sunlight falling through the windows of the Church of the Saviour in Baku, where the album was recorded.
