Garden of Expression
(ECM)
★★★★
DEDICATED “to the spirits of humankind that have fallen victims to the Covid-19 virus,” Garden of Expression is an exemplary album, full of spacious and reflective instrumental jazz.
There is little to distinguish between individual tracks but the set is more about creating a particular mood, something US veteran saxophonist Joe Lovano, accompanied by pianist Marilyn Crispell and Carmen Castaldi on drums, is able to do in spades.
