Rites is a double album by Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek recorded in 1998 and released on the ECM label.[1]

Reception

The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4 stars stating "On one collection, listeners get music for prayer, contemplation, and grief, as well as a funky European read of indigenous music for moving to and celebrating. Clearly this is what sets Rites above Garbarek's other recordings, him taking that balance he possessed so early in his career back again and putting it to work in a near-sacred setting".[2]
