Rites (album)

Rites is a double album by Norwegian jazz saxophonist Jan Garbarek recorded in March 1998 and released on ECM later that year.

[1] The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek stated: "On one collection, listeners get music for prayer, contemplation, and grief, as well as a funky European read of indigenous music for moving to and celebrating.

Clearly this is what sets Rites above Garbarek's other recordings, him taking that balance he possessed so early in his career back again and putting it to work in a near-sacred setting.
