Best Keith Jarrett records

In addition to others mentioned:

My Foolish Heart
Still Live
Whisper Not (more bop than others)

For another quartet gig in addition to My Song: Belonging

The store had Hymns/Spheres and that's about it from the list of recommendations here. I sampled that record and it's just not my cup of tea. They also had "Expectations," "Spirits," "Staircase," "Fort Yawuh," "The Judgment,"and "Invocations/The Moths and the Flame." I purchased "Expectations" and it's pretty intriguing; I feel as if I need at least several listening sessions to actually gauge the character of that recording. As for other recordings, as good as Keith is, I just need more than one instrument to get into the music.

I'm surprised there hasn't been more praise for The Melody at Night With You. It's subtle and especially nice for late night listening. I also like Whisper Not.

See my other thread on this subject. The Koln Concert is out on 96/24 on HDTracks. A must have for Jarrett afficionados.

Changes, IMHO is "his" best. KJ, GP & JdJ trio. Also like from the same trio and as mentioned previously by Jfrech thier most recent ECM release Yesterdays. A fantastic recording with amazing imaging sounds stage and detail. It is recorded live in Tokyo. I also have DVD of the same Tokyo recordings.

Couple of nights ago I was listening to Yesterdays with my wife and 18 month old son. My son was dancing and running around as he normally does, then at the end of the track when the applause started my son freaked out! But no worries by the end of the second track he was clapping along with the crowd.

I have yet to hear Jasmine but I can only imagine that it must be great given all the positive comments hear on the gon.
