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'll second JFZ's recs., and add: Standards in Norway, Tribute, Still Live, My Foolish Heart. Then too there's Jasmine, which is Jarrett and Charlie Haden, recorded in KJ's home studio.

I like KJ Trio's 'Standards I/II/Live' & 'Tribute' albums, European Quartet's 'Belonging' & 'My Song' albums. 'Live At The BlueNote' is awesome too.
However, my favorite KJ albums are solo albums recorded in 1970s. Try 'The Köln Concert', 'Solo Concerts: Bremen/Lausanne', 'Vienna Concert', & 'Sun Bear Concerts'.

"Bye Bye Blackbird","Your The Night And The Music" are great.Really anything by him,Peackcock and Djohnette is like a well oiled machine since they have ben working together so long.Them and any pianist lucky enough to get George Mraz and Lwewis Nash to back them up.New Jarret 2 CD has the late great Paul Motian and the always superb Eddie Gomez.Looks like too many 0riginals (unlike many I don't go fro the "Koln and Sun Bear stuff to noodly and pretentious IMHO).Of course you never know if in a live one Jarrett will screw it up with that damn humming but I am going to give it a listen.Fans don't overlook his early great LP 'like "No Exit on short lived Vortex label and "Now He Sings Now He Sobs" from late 60's.Wish the group didn't ask for Barbara Streisand ticket prices but hey they are entitled like Babs right?
Cheers
