For older fans It’s OK To Listen To The Gray Voice will put a massive smile accross your face. three years ago, Jan Garbarek briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “The Crossing Place”. It’s OK To Listen To The Gray Voice isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. Great Jazz right here!
The Crossing Place is simple, dignified and effective, Jan Garbarek refusing to over-emote, and demonstrating that less is more. What sets One Day In March I Go Down To The Sea and Listen apart is Jan Garbarek’s innovative and organic way of creating atmospheres. I think Mission: To Be Where I Am is the best song Jan Garbarek has ever done. Outside of the singles, my favorite song on It’s OK To Listen To The Gray Voice is It’s OK To Phone The Island That Is A Mirage. Jan Garbarek rocks harder than ever with It’s OK To Listen To The Gray Voice. The song I’m The Knife-Thrower’s Partner ending is my favorite… so catchy!
