On In Praise Of Dreams, Garbarek has convened a typically atypical group to perform his vivid, intense compositions: classical violist Kim Kashkashian and rock/jazz drummer Manu Katche.

Garbarek's saxophone sound eerily conveys the essences of both Arctic windswept landscapes and radiant winter sunshine, while Kashkashian's beautifully warm viola, rich with vocal, and horn-like sonorities, provides cushioning and counterpoint. Katche delicately but firmly anchors the proceedings with his subtle, pattern-oriented drumming. Garbarek's compositions are haunting, atmospheric, and elegiac, not to mention concise, certainly not early-morning music, but for times of deep contemplation or relaxation, In Praise Of Dreams is an ideal soundtrack.
