I need some help on Keith Jarrett. Like many of the great jazz artists, he has so many releases that it is just overwhelming to pick say three-four to actually spend money on...Any help would be great!
Musicbuff, nice find. It's when I hear stories like this that makes my vinyl itch flares up. Unfortunately, I haven't heard the Sunbear Concerts, but I have about 20 or so Jarrett cds that I really like.
If the Piano is really out of tune, why then this album is considered a classic and sells more than any other KJ albums? All I know is that the recording is really very open and the ambience is great. I think this recording has great dynamics even though it is mainly solo piano.
I am not a musician nor I know how to tune any instruments but am I missing something?
The last track of the At The Dear Head Inn recording is It's Easy to Remember: a strong favourite. It is absolute music, gently delivered to a place of weightlessness that is so free and exquisite. I return to it late at night after long sessions of opera, classical music or taxing music of any genre. Agree with above re: Standards Vol 1 and 2 and Koln concert. Koln is a testament to KJ at his most inspired, yet It's easy to remember is KJ at his most exquisite.
start at his beginning in the 60's w/ Charles LLoyd. That is how I built up my KJ catalog. It is always interesting to see and hear where an artist of this caliber makes his debut and moves forward.
