"Standards Vol 1" is a pretty hip recording. Jack DeJohnette and Gary Peacock are highly innovative throughtout.
Keith Jarrett recommendation
Let me say first that I have always been a big Keith Jarrett fan. I've been collecting and listening to his stuff since the early Charles Lloyd quartet music right up to the present. Just yesterday I bought a virgin but original promo vinyl copy of the double album Staircase whch I had never heard. I am so taken with this music I must share my enthusiasm with you all, absolutely breathtaking music. Weather or not you are familar with Jarrett's music do yourself a favor and give this all solo piano music a listen. As usual a very well recorded offering from the ECM label.Happy listening.

I just found a mint copy of Keith Jarrett "Staircase" at GEMM. I looked at AMG to be certain I had the correct title and the review there almost caused me to cancel the order. In this case I'll take the opinion of a fellow Audiogon member. http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&uid=12:31:59|AM&sql=A0w5zefyk7gfn |
Albert: "One's man's treasure...", right? I wonder how that particular reviewer views the larger context of Jarrett's complete body or work? Other delights I found about Staircase is the wonderful timbre of the particular instrument used for the recording. If memory serves (which is becoming particularly more difficult as I age), this may have been recorded on a rosewood Hamburg Steinway with a distintly singing, cantabile tone which stunned me the first time I heard it. Let us know what you think after you get a chance to digest it. I'm interested to hear your comments. Tim |
