In the mid-1970s there was no European jazz group more popular than the Garbarek-Stenson Quartet, and Witchi-Tai-To was voted „Record of the Year 1974/75“ in Jazz Forum’s poll. Down Beat gave the album a five-star review: „Those who think that contemporary music from Europe lacks soul-fire are hereby advised to listen to Witchi-Tai-To.“ Bobo Stenson: „The quartet had a chemistry that I’ve very rarely known, and I look back at the whole period as a happy and creative time.“ The wide-open programme includes tunes by Carla Bley and Don Cherry as well as the title track composed by Jim Pepper.
