what type of sax is used? alto?

[schnurzipurz]

@mrkennedy4321 I'm no music expert.. but according to Wikipedia & other sources this must be tenor saxophone.

@schnurzipurz and a cello? or a viola?

I used this song for a video i made. I remember hearing this song playing so often on one of the music channels on my digital cable a few years ago while I slept as night. I managed to capture it on my computer, so glad i did

[schnurzipurz]

@daveni2 yes it's a viola! Actually Jan Garbarek recorded this album together with violist Kim Kashkashian and Manu Katché (drums).

@knight337 This isn't jazz, but it's still wonderful.

[daveni2]

and at 3:19 the sax and viola sounding so lazy together

there is this haunting laziness about this music that works incredible

[daveni2]

@1:46 there is something incredibly haunting about the sound of the viola

[knight337]

Wonderful, superb jazz. Moody, deep, evocative.
