A Thrilling "Listen"
I was hesitant to choose this recording because the instrumentation (saxophone and organ) seemed so odd a pairing. I knew immediately, as the first band played, there was no problem with this instrumental pairing. Listening to this recording is an enormous thrill! We turned the volume up, and we were transported by the sound! I made plans to buy "Antiphone Blues: Music of Ellington", featuring saxophonist Arne Dommereus, as the #1 special present for my brother, who is turning eighty this year. He played saxophone professionally for over fifty years. I was sure he would like this recording very, very much.I was right. Don't let the odd instrumentation deter you from hearing this exceptional recording!

Different, but beautiful
Sax and pipe organ is different. If you are chilled and in the mood for something different, this may fill the bill. This recording is so atmospheric and so natural to the venue that you are there! Turn out the lights and let this wash over you.

Antiphone Blues: Music of Ellington
An audiophile recording. I don't like most of the recordings in terms of content, but it's very useful to test your audio set-up.

Only the best sax and organ music available.
For the last 10 years trying to find a cd on Organ + Sax (not a light sax, but heavy: tenor sax), I just found out this cd. It's not 100% jazz, but blues with tenor sax and organ. And the bass and the midrange of all my speakers workout all the time. I have to warn you that there is only One CD on Tenor Sax + Organ in the world: this one. So, buy it before you never find another one with this kind of music. It's more blues than jazz.

5.0 SACD. None of the Garbarek spark!
This is a brief review of the SACD version, which my Oppo 205 registers as 5.0 surround sound (rather than the 4.0 indicated on the disc case). It is a curious meld of sax and organ jazz. I was up for this... But, it has none of the spark or originality of Jan Garbarek's saxophone fests. Fairly monotonous actually. All beautifully recorded and produced in 5.0, but musically lacking.

Blues and saxophone festival
Beautifully recorded in a church and the associated acoustics.Real test for any anyone interested in HI Fidelity

An experience no less
If you are a High Fidelity nerd, that's a piece of splendor that makes your equipment sing. If you are a Saxophone lover, possibly have heard Jan Garbarek playing in a church, and wondered how Sax and organ would sound together, than this provides you the answer.It is not everyday music, but once in a while it really kicks you in a very special, pleasant mood.
