Dansere (Norwegian: “Dancers”) is the second album credited to the Jan Garbarek–Bobo Stenson Quartet, recorded in November 1975 and released on ECM the following year. The quartet features rhythm section Palle Danielsson and Jon Christensen.

Reception.

The Allmusic review by Brian Olewnick gave the album 3 stars and stating “Dansere, recorded in 1975, was one of the first examples of what would come to be known as the “ECM sound,” not so much for the usual crystalline recording quality but for a creeping, languidly pastoral sensibility that would become more and more prominent both in Garbarek’s own work as well as in the label’s releases in general.”
