Legend of the Seven Dreams is an album by Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek, that features Rainer Brüninghaus, Eberhard Weber and Naná Vasconcelos. It was released on the ECM label in 1988.[3]

Reception[]

Allmusic awarded the album with 2.5 stars and its review by Mark W. B. Allender states: "The disc opens with "He Came From the North," which features a melody based on a traditional Lapp joik from the artist's native Norway and progresses into a longer section with an interplay that is both sparse and rhythmic. The sax line here is astonishingly beautiful".[1]
