Legend of the Seven Dreams is an album by Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek, featuring Rainer Brüninghaus, Eberhard Weber and Naná Vasconcelos, released on the ECM label in 1988.[2]

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]
