ECM Touchstones edition 2019. / "Jan Garbarek is my favorite sax player, Miroslav Vitous has said. "We have an incredible musical rapport and you can hear it. He understands my Slavic melodies and what I use for atmosphere because he s European and his father was Polish, which is very close to me. I'm from Czechoslovakia. Our musical communication is astonishing: we each sense what the other is about to play." Atmos, recorded 1992, features seven compositions by Vitous and two freely improvised pieces, yet sounds like the product of a shared mind, so well-matched are the expressive approaches of bassist and saxophonist.
