Visible World is an album by Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek recorded in June 1995 and released on ECM the following year.[2]

Reception[edit]

The AllMusic review by Chris Kelsey awarded the album 2½ stars stating "This is quiet, contemplative music for the most part—attractive, but not superficially pretty. Its grooves are less celebratory than melancholic. There's an intensity here borne of deep concentration and commitment to beauty. Garbarek has come a long way since his early days as a quasi-free jazz experimentalist. This music is not jazz, nor is it experimental. But it is compelling in its way, representative of a first-rate creative musician, beyond category."[3]
