Keith Jarrett's Trio and Stanley Kubrick's films have something in common for me: every time I come back to them, I learn something new. It never fails.
4637311 2531815 Art is timeless. If there’s a lot of materials contained like Kubrick’s work sure you will discover something new you overlooked before.
Plenty of young musicians are so good nowaday and some are prodigious . I really enjoy watching and listening to them on Utube. But then I hit on Keith jarrett trio and it's like...the sun is rising . " Guys , step aside please , Keith Jarrett 's playing now"
devastatingly sad, indeed Don Nicholson. but KJ has overcome so many setbacks in life that I truly believe he will surprise us all with sth absolutely genious! I love Mr Jarrett with all my heart. most gorgeous piano playing ever!
@@sandraeckelhofer He can do one-handed what others dream of. I became a fan when he was with Charles Lloyd, then with Miles, then solo. Absolute genius.
The three are very best I knows no much off jazz but I like with passion off thid style, Petrucelli too Gesmonti, Peterson are so good for me.Regards from Uruguay thanks
Didn't Lexus use an exerpt of this tune on one of their commercials?It showed a car racing on a curvy mountain road in Europe.Whatever it was it fit well!
I understand your disagreement with the original comment, I actually disagree with GSWCarr as well, but attacking him for using "ugh" as an expression has nothing to do with the statement you disagree with. By criticizing his expression like that, you make yourself a hypocrite in saying this is not an open area for criticism. I also believe this is a great place to watch, listen, and learn... but that doesn't mean you should insult someone's intelligence for differing in opinion.
In the studio version of the Standards II CD, Keith Jarrett makes a miscalculation in the tempo of the very beginning and plays a few notes too many - caught me by surprise when I heard it. It's good tho, makes me realize he's not a god, lol, although he plays like one.....
If your name is Herbie Hancock, you just had your ass handed to you. If your name is Chick Corea, you just had your ass handed to you. If your name is Kenny Barron, you just had your ass handed to you. If your name is Mulgrew Miller, you just had your ass handed to you. If your name is Lyle Mays, you just had your ass chewed up and spat back out. Don't hand me this "everyone has their own thing" crap either. Jarrett is the best improvisor alive, during his or anyone else's lifetime. Period.
Jarrett is a great improviser no doubt but you’re overlooking the style and personality of titans such as Chick who is harmonically far more complex than Jarrett. Chick invented his own language drawing from jazz and early 1900’s classical composers. Have you listen to Arbour Zena all the way through? Good luck.. there are many aspects to a musician.
not really. not night and day different, like say Keith and Chick or Herbie, but no not really. Of course there's some influence in a pianist that grew up probably listening to Kinda Blue a million times, but no, the differences are much greater than the similarities. Phrasing, voicings, comping, the way he builds a solo, note choices.....Every so often there's a line that is similar, but overall, nah. vey simplistic reduction on your part.
GeoCoppens what a terribly naive statement! Keith’s solo is the most astoundingly virtuosic piece of spontaneous composition imaginable! The end of that solo with all that counter-rhythmic sequencing is incredible!
Good to hear your response that is not part of this You-Tube "praise-a-thon" for Keith Jarrett. Most comments for recording artists are nothing but gooey suck-up idol worship. I agree that this tempo on You and the Night and the Music is far too fast...a "Vegas-like" tempo, but I think it was purposeful in order to show off Keith's amazing improvisational chops. Great solo and very impressive, but the listenability of this tune ranks rather low. Most fast tempos are difficult to listen to, but even more difficult to feel. This tempo proves that vivace may be impressive but it can't create the feel of a moderate swing groove.
@@jennifer86010 It's a bop feel, a deliberate reaction to swing and the original show tune tempos (and the opposite of a lounge act/big vocalist-backing-band sound, in which the rhythmic accents would be more consistent and less sublte, and slower--see Frank Sinatra's version, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aURH_bJORcI.html). You must hate a lot of post-1945 jazz if you think this is too fast! Likely not chosen to show off (players usually choose ballads for that) but rather to avoid predictability, which would take away from the 'listenability.' No intention here to recreate the feel/groove of a slower tempo, I would guess (it's an odd notion that one tempo would create the feel of another).
It's the character of the song that is ruined by Jarrett. Imagine a song like "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" in up tempo. Awful, will be the result! Jarrett is a poseur, a questionable artist.
It has nothing to do with what music it is. Certain pieces by Debussy can be played "wrong" when played too fast. Music can be played wrong in many different way, I would say, jazz or otherwise.
