Folk Songs (Charlie Haden album)

Folk Songs is an album by bassist Charlie Haden, recorded in November 1979 and released on ECM in February 1981—the second album by the trio, featuring saxophonist Jan Garbarek and guitarist Egberto Gismonti, following Mágico (1980).

Reception

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "One of the better ECM recordings... filled with moody originals, improvisations that blend together jazz and world music, and atmospheric ensembles. This date works well both as superior background music and for close listening."
