Keith Jarrett


I picked up the "Set one" cd of this 6 cd set and was blown away. I was so impressed I went ahead and bought the 6 cd box set. I love the "At the Dear Head Inn", but I think this is better. Can anyone chime in and comment on this set, and if there are other albums just as good or better.
The recording quality is as good as I've heard. Are all of Keiths recording this good?

I put "At The Blue Note" in the title but it didn't show up. That's the box set I'm referring to.
Live At The BlueNote on ECM is my favorite Keith Jarrett cds (box). It is one of the best sounding live recordings in my colloction.However, it is the music that keeps me going back to thiese discs time and time again.
Some standouts to check out.
Disc 3 Autumn Leaves and You Don't Know What Love Is
Disc 4 I Fall in Love to Easily/The Fire Within(a personal fave)
Disc 5 On Green Dolphin Street
Disc 6 Desert Sun
I think I am going to put it on now....

If you have a turntable, check out his "Standards" string of releases playing with Jack DeJohnette on drums and Gary Peacock on bass. All the releases features very tasty playing and are well recorded. I was pleasantly surprised how excellent their work on all these jazz standards were after being familiar with only his early solo and "progressive" works. In short, an overlooked and underappreciated group in this classic jazz configuration. They're worth your attention. (My favorite is their live recording record.)
Check out some of the earlier recordings with the "European Quartet", in particular "personal mountains" and "my song". Mostly original compositions that I prefer of the "standards" recorded with the "American Trio".
