Legend of the Seven Dreams is an album by Norwegian jazz saxophonist Jan Garbarek recorded in July 1988 and released on ECM October later that year.ECM discography accessed September 30, 2011
Reception AllMusic awarded the album two-and-a-half stars, with reviewer Mark W. B. Allender stating, “Though in step with its time, this release suffers from excessive reliance on ambient synthesizers, which litter much of the recording, rendering it only slightly more interesting than many of the Windham Hill new age recordings of the same era. Unfortunate, because the disc opens with strength and gradually peters out by the end.”Allender M. W. B.[ Allmusic Review] accessed 11 March 2010
