Mnemosyne

Album by Jan Garbarek & The Hilliard Ensemble

Mnemosyne is an album by Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek, released in 1999. The release pairs Garbarek's saxophone with a vocal ensemble and atmospheric instrumentation, blending sacred polyphonic textures with jazz-inflected improvisation and ambient sonorities, and represents a continuation of his cross-genre explorations in the late 1990s.
