One of the 3 most POWERFUL ballads in the world...boldly stating it a fact!!! To name a few: Charlie Parker- Embraceable you( doo bah ba dea ba deee) Roy Hargrove- Divine Charles Lloyd- Love Ship...
This is Charles Lloyd's group. I get that Keith Jarrett is great, etc., but you have to respect the fact that Jarrett was working for Charles Lloyd, not the other way around. Everyone knows who Keith Jarrett and how great he was and is, but again, Charles Lloyd is the employer here and it should be presented as such, all videos with this line up. You and others should really be more aware of these things.
This is what was cutting edge hip when I was 14. I was aware of Jarrett's 4 musical personalities . There was his solo piano projects and his great American Ornette Coleman influenced band with Charlie Hayden and Dewey Redman there was this, his European band which was also a very free unit. Man Garbareck in this stage is outa this world. Geez but my favorite stuff from this period is that Kenny Wheeler LP Gnu High where Kenny is the composer and Keith is at service to Kenny's music. Gnu High is one of the few examples in his entire discography where he's forced to improvise on truly complex advanced preexisting harmonic formats.
GNU High is Fantastic. Strangely enough it’s actually the run throughs from the first day that were released as KJ threw a hissy fit. Kenny didn’t send him the parts in advance and KJ thought the music was hard so was upset at that, then he claimed the piano sucked and he wanted a different piano so pretty much the whole of the first day was wasted and then KJ said he wasn’t going to attend the 2nd day of recording. That’s why it’s got such a raw quality to it , it really was the first and only time they played those tunes.
No matter how often I do it: when listening to Spiral Dance (5:05) or The Windup (34:57), my facial expressions somewhat match Jarrett's. Can't help it)))
When I was 27 back in 1987, a buddy and I took a via rail train from London, Ontario to Montreal, Quebec to catch about a half dozen concerts at the largest Jazz Festival in the world. On opening night we were treated to the classic "Standards" performance, and more, from Keith Jarrett, Jack de Johnette, and Gary Peacock. An absolutely premier event, and one of the best acoustic jazz concerts I've ever seen. Thank you kindly for this brilliant upload...certainly brings back wonderful memories!!
How fantastic it is! Can I share this by reposting your channel on a nice platform named Gan Jing World? For sure that I will not change anything. If you are fine with that, please let me know. Thank you!
