Invisible Nature is a live album by English jazz saxophonist John Surman and American jazz drummer Jack DeJohnette recorded at Tampere Jazz Happening and JazzFest Berlin in November 1999 and released on ECM in 2002.[1]
Reception
[edit]The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars, stating, "The performances are atmospheric, with both players utilizing electronics in spots while retaining their own musical personalities. Surman has long been a very flexible and mostly laid-back player, while DeJohnette also has the ability to fit in almost anywhere. Rather than individual melodies or solos, this CD is most notable for its overall feel and the blend between these two unique musicians."[2]
