Mágico ( Portuguese: "Magic") is an album by bassist Charlie Haden, recorded in June 1979 and released on ECM in January the following year. The trio features saxophonist Jan Garbarek and guitarist Egberto Gismonti. [2]

Reception

The Globe and Mail noted that "there are the qualities of a folk music in the fundamental nature of Haden's work and the richness of Garbarek's saxes." [3]

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "The trio performs group originals and an obscurity during the picturesque and continually interesting release; this combination works well." [4]
