Such chemistry these 3 had! Sounds like an orchestra. I had the good fortune to be in the audience at a club in LA when Charlie (with Quartet West) celebrated his 50th birthday. How quickly everything goes.
I found The Survivors Suite By Keith Jarrett at a thrift store in a small town in AK, and I've liked Paul's drumming ever since. That album is a beautiful work of art, I still can't believe that I found it in a thrift store for a buck.
This trio is represented on the 1971 album “Mourning Of A Star”. This album is now on RU-vid. It’s a wonderful album and even features a pretty standard reading of “All I Want” by Joni Mitchell with Keith playing recorders.
The music of Faso is an inexhaustible source of sweetness. It allows us to plunge deep inside ourselves and at the same time resonate with our fellow man, Yé Lassina Coulibaly❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
+CaptianKeyz So good--and how great to see you mention Gordon Beck. An unsung hero if ever there was and someone I was lucky to see many times in the 60s and 70s when I was a student.
david c OMG...really. I am so jealous. I never saw him in person. Gordon is by far my hero, as a keyboard player myself. I'm not sure anyone plays as freely as Jarrett, but Beck was in a league of his own, when he put it all together. 1971 Freedom Jazz Dance, Frankfurt, Germany: the best performance in my book.
Old post I realize, but I love to hear Gordon Beck praised 😉. Gyroscope and Jazz trio are two of my favorite trio discs and hold up easily with anything else in my collection. Howard Riley is another unsung master.
Keith has such beastly prowess. My god, his technique is astonishing. But to play free and come up with so much coherency and passion while having so much fun with Charlie and Paul is a wonder to behold. But I never realized what a monster he was on the soprano. Jesus.
his phrasing really good. it's way way deep in a pocket. it grooves like a muthafucka. his development of riffs on the horn is compositional and musical and worth studying. get past your expectations and learn something and enjoy it.@@liamwatson5125
of course he's "better on the piano" than he is on soprano. It's just a side thing like his percussion playing. cross training like in sports if you will. other ways of expression . it'd be hard for him to match his piano playing on horn, . he's better on the piano than 99.9999% of musicians on any instrument. @@liamwatson5125
these 3 cats did something in music that is SINGULAR a gold star era of 60 70 JAZZ whatever that is, i was in RON CARTEr s jazz enxeble when i heard BYABLUE. what PAUL PLAYS is to me the fullest beauty of FREE JAZZ drum music,,,,,
HAHAHAHAHAHA...wonderful show, funniest sketches ever...I am a big fan of Keith Jarrett, but I get your comment! "Niccccce"!!!! For those who do not know him well, I recommend the album STILL LIVE from 1986.
Gurdjeff said when i eat i eat, its the only task what i do its the more important on the world at this time. Nothing exist around me only my task. I think that why to keep concentration, K Jarrett do noise and move his body. He is in transe, with this think , the music can be a fluid in him. With no doubt.
Glad to see some video of Jarrett with Paul Motian during this time but the video on this must have been shot by someone with ADD, can't hold a shot for more than 5 seconds, plus lots of super-tight closeups that don't do a thing for appreciation of the group's playing. If the camera got any closer to Jarrett's face it would have gone up his nostril.
It is the tune "El Juicio (The Judgement)" from the album of the same name. It can be found here mis-labeled as "Pre-Judgement Atmosphere" which is actually the short piece right before "El Juicio". ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-q_zDl49Q31U.html
This isn't from 1970. It is a part of the first part of NDR Workshop No. 81 recorded on 14th of June 1972. Tracklist of the complete 1st part probably: 1 El Juicio 2 Moonchild 3 Follow The Crooked Path 4 Standing Outside 5 Bring Back The Time When (If) NDR = Norddeutscher Rundfunk The complete second part of this venue has been released by ECM Records (ECM 2422) in November 2014
KJ is unquestionably my favorite living musician. Period. Saw his trio live. Saw his solo show live. But free jazz is a fucking incorrigible musical abomination that wastes both the player’s efforts and listeners time.
Fake Afro. That is Jarrett's main impression on the public. A talented poser. He "sings" his crappy stuff right at the piano mic. Deliberately. Posing face expressions, practiced at a mirror. C'mon man. Jarrett's sense of self-importance is unmatched in musical world history.
You must be a really limited musician man. He's more than proved to all his doubters that he was the most talented of his generation. PS I'm a professional jazz pianist and composer and I studied with Gary Peacock just before he got his Keith Jarrett gig.
you should have to separate things... I don't like the "character" Keith Jarret (obviously I can't say anything about the man...), his vocalizations too and I don't like a lot of the music he did, but, he is doubtless a great piano player and an important musician. a genius? I don't know... geniuses are rare...but a great musician for sure. I have to add that this part of his carreer is by far my favourite...
