Who is Jan Garbarek

Jan Garbarek rose to fame in the mid-1970s playing post-bop jazz in Keith Jarrett's successful "European Quartet". Further success came with Dis, a meditative collaboration with guitarist Ralph Towner. In the 1980s, Garbarek's music began to incorporate synthesizers and elements of world music. In 1993 his album Officium, a collaboration with early music vocal performers the Hilliard Ensemble, was one of ECM's biggest-selling albums, reaching the pop charts in several European countries. 

In 2005, his album In Praise of Dreams was nominated for a Grammy.
