6 years ago I suffered a stroke. It is an experience that marks you for a lifetime, you wear it your whole life. Since the 1980s I have listened almost religiously to Keith Jarrett's music. During the recovery period from my illness I listened to Jarrett's Koln Concert at least once a week. There are 3 people who saved my life: first my daughter, then the doctors and finally the music of Keith Jarrett. Six years later I can say that I love life ... and I move on.

Keith got a microphone walked to the front of the stage and asked: “I don’t get it. What is it? What is it, that we cannot give you right here, right now, that you will get at home, in front of your TV set? “ With the huge laughter from the audience Keith called Jack back and we had an amazing concert.

From the first note to the final note the entire audience was mesmerized into complete silence until their extended standing ovation. It is a concert I will never forget.

Discovering Keith's solo recording "The Koln Concert" was life changing for me. I picked the album up in a used record store back in 2000 just because a friend of mine said he was a fan of Keith's.

Keith's catalog, especially his improvised solo work, is such a wonderous journey of discovery!

@augustfeola8347 3 года назад

I remember when a friend introduced me to the Koln Concert: I was so moved, I remarked "It's as if God is at the piano". Keith Jarrett channels a profoundly deep spirituality and translates it musically. Many years ago, I had the good fortune to have seen him in solo concert at Avery Fisher Hall (now David Geffen Hall) in Lincoln Center. His encore, "Over The Rainbow", was a sublime masterpiece; his improvisation took us along through his journey, zen-like, one with the music, keeping us to the very last note, which sustained to silence and drew the audience, hanging, into the infinite silence. Never experienced anything like it before or since.

@NathanMaharaj 3 года назад

The story behind that record is incredible. His body was a mess from injury and strain, the piano was *not* what was required in the rider, it wasn't in tune, and he was running on barely any sleep. I think about that now when I put the record on, that he's coming to the bench heavily, and just trying to get through. All the lightness in the performance is a miracle of defiance.

@OmniphonProductions 3 года назад

"It sounds like Bach, but modern." I was thinking _exactly_ the same thing! Some of his syncopated articulations briefly add an element of swing and modern style(s) to what is otherwise an excellent expression of Bach-like mathematical brilliance! As for the sax, tonally I would have sworn it was an alto; cool! "He knows exactly what he's playing." Thank you for clarifying that improvisation is _not_ just random notes and "button mashing"; it's understanding music well enough to know where you're going (A) before you get there and (B) without having to be told. YOU: "He started with Art Blakey." ME: _"Of course,_ he did!" Even if Art weren't already a great drummer in his own right...which he was...the amount of talent he fostered via The Jazz Messengers is phenomenal!

Still, if that's true you better not play live at all.

@jimweisgram9185 7 месяцев назад

@@probusexcogitatoris736I think both of you may be right. I think it was Gary Peacock that said Keith is all about the music, he is very driven, he is probably not someone you'd invite to your home for dinner. I think for his solo piano concerts especially he wanted no distractions. No coughing or sneezing or whatever. Given how much of himself he poured into those performances, distractions could take him out of the flow. On the other hand maybe 20 years ago my wife and I were at a solo piano concert in a fairly large venue. This was in Portland, Oregon, so probably the Schnitzer. He played for a good while, then he suddenly stopped right in the middle, turned to the audience, and said something like "you know, there is a lack of energy in the hall tonight. Could it be from the emptiness in your lives?" And then kept on playing. From all accounts, he could be much tougher on his audience.

I took about 3 years of piano and never reached any competency on it. That is the background for saying I was in the old Boulder Mall one day where they had a piano in the concourse. I sat down at that thing and started doing my grade school pentatonic licks. All of the sudden my fingers just started flowing over the keyboard as if the piano and I were one organism. My family and the people around were amazed...but probably not as much as I was. I've never been able to recapture that moment.

Hey Rick, I've been in love with Keith Jarrett's "Bremen/Lausanne" recordings ever since I first heard them back in college. I scrapped together $15 to get the set and have been enjoying that music for the past 50 years. That's pretty good trade! The thing I love most about Keith's solos is that he lets his fingers roam around the keyboard for a bit searching for a phrase that he can hook onto and develop...a stream of consciousness type thing. All of a sudden some magical melody emerges. And "pow" he's given us a gift that we've never heard before, and fall in love with. My recommendation is that all should listen to what came before the 2 minutes, and what follows. Keith is a genius. That album proves it. Thank you for reminding me. Chris

@jimweisgram9185 7 месяцев назад

Hey, that's my story! Actually, my brother showed me Facing You, and I was off and running from there. But I was just starting college at the time. I enjoyed his live performances too. One time he did his solo piano, entrancing. When he was done, the crowd called him back for an encore, he sat at the piano, and nothing came to him. So he asked if anyone had a request? Ideas were thrown out, one was "why don't you just pick up where you left off"? I think he was out of inspiration at the moment because that didn't fly, but someone suggested one of his compositions. So he started playing that, I don't recall which one it was, and pretty soon he was off and flying. One of the best concerts I ever heard.

Whether it was with his European group, his American group, as a soloist, or a featured pianist in a classical music setting, his rich, expressive inner life, mastery of his instrument and ability to communicate with other artists took me to a transcendent place.

Thank you, Rick, for helping people to discover the limitless beauty in music, and for rekindling my interest in Keith Jarrett. Today, I listened to his solo at the Skinner Hall, Vassar College, NY, Feb 13 1975 (available here on YT) and I couldn't help but hear Bach's influence all over "Part V". Brilliant stuff... Speaking about Jarrett and Bach, I think I first discovered Keith through his interpretation of the Gigue of Bach's 5th French Suite back when I was learning that piece myself. As you know, it has two sections with repeats, offering the performer a chance to show off by improvising embellishments on the repeats. I was listening to many different recordings and remember being inspired by Jarrett's take especially in that regard. In hindsight that doesn't seem too surprising :) I can hardly start to imagine how difficult it might have been for him, being deprived from his exceptional ability to, as you put it so aptly, "channel the music through his hands into the universe". May he be at ease.
