Luminessence is an album composed by American pianist Keith Jarrett featuring saxophonist Jan Garbarek and the Südfunk-Sinfonieorchester conducted by Mladen Gutesha recorded in April 1974.[2]. It was released on the ECM label in 1975.[1] Jarrett does not perform on this album.

Reception

The Allmusic review by Richard S. Ginell awarded the album 4 stars and states, "The concept is not unlike that of Stan Getz's Focus, but this music is far more static, downcast, and free of the pulse of jazz. As was characteristic of his writing then, Jarrett's string parts are mostly turgid and thick-set, indulging in weird, sliding microtones on "Windsong", weighted down by some kind of emotional burden. Particularly when delivering piercing sustained notes on soprano, Garbarek often sounds like a native of the Middle East".[3]

gollark: Why do your pictures also include your roömmate? This is an obvious privacy violation.

gollark: I mean, the explanation I heard was more that degrees are more for signalling that you have some level of ability to do basic intellectual work, and do moderately hard things for long-term payoffs (and other such things) than giving people knowledge they need directly.

gollark: It is claimed that (here, at least) most employers don't particularly care which degree course you do (outside of a few things like engineering or medicine).
