When it's so beautiful the audience forgets to clap (The Night We Called It A Day) 

What a beautiful revelation it must have been. That's a blessing in itself. 🎶🙏

Well put, Martin.

Martin, I have at times described Jarrett's performance of a ballad as not so much a song being played, but as a story unfolding. Beyond beautiful.

Bach crapped better music than this.

Lukas, nice, right? Also, I feel the same way about the beautiful simplicity of 6:11-6:22.

@@jazztemple2 Yes, that line is also very beautiful. Keith will stay as my favourite pianist of all time :-)

Actually from 3:54 to 4:32 are really memorable phrases.

@@whatdoyouknow4843 yes! that’s also part of my time stamp!

That's okay, you can watch it again. But pay attention this time! It's really good!

Compared to what?

@@musamor75 this track volume is really soft. Even with my speaker volume maxxed out, it is very quiet!

@@AlanBlackman It is true. There are other uploads of this performance on RU-vid as well, ,by the way, and some at least are at a higher volume.

The Night We Called It A Day

I mean, music is subjective and to each his own, but this couldn't be more the opposite of how I interpret this. To me, this is just so stunningly beautiful, and an audience that is there to see his 100th solo performance in Japan would have absolutely loved this. And also, really what other reason would there be to see Keith if not to witness his intimacy with the piano? And the fact that they clap uproariously to every song on the rest of the concert seems to fit with my interpretation here. They just didn't want to spoil a perfect moment and the end of the song. But again, to each his own. I'm not really trying to argue here.

@@michaellucke2654 I wholeheartedly agree with Mr. Lucke!

What do you mean by this?

Well, the concert was in Japan, so I bet it wasn't an Austrian audience. Very much doubt that a crowd of people that came to see Keith's 100th solo performance in Japan wouldn't have liked this

Not sentimental.Played with sentiment.Big difference.

You're listening to his soul, not his brain, so that would be futile.

Can we stop talking about Musk, already? What on earth does he have to do with this elegant beauty? And what makes you think Jarrett would *ever* consent to Musk doing anything with his remains?

That's really one of my favorite moments in all of music!

The audience was likely instructed not to applaud at all. If I'm not mistaken this wasn't very uncommon during his performances, especially the recorded ones. Perhaps he had also threatened to stop the concert if he caught anyone applauding or coughing :) . Or maybe the star hadn't had his favorite dessert before the concert, so the performance was delayed for several hours while they found a cooperative pastry chef, and the audience left in the meantime (I'm not making this up btw).

Maybe, but they clapped after most, if not all, of the rest of the pieces. I really think it was just a magical moment that they collectively didn't want to spoil.

Source? That's hilarious.@@Madinko12

@@UkuleleAversion "Keith Jarrett tient son rang de goujat" on Libération, you can look it up and translate it. I thought the concert had been more delayed than 13 minutes though 😅.

@@Madinko12 .If you bother to watch the complete concert the audience clap after every tune apart from this one.And Keith isn't against the audience showing their love for his performances -- its a myth -- he just doesn't like it when a small minoriity spoil it for the rest by not giving full attention to what he plays.He actually states in the Rick Beato interview that he loves his masterpiece version of Bye Bye Blackbird at the Deer Head Inn BECAUSE you can hear the audience obviously reacting to his quite extraordinary solo.

Well listen to Jarretts extraordinary Deer Head Inn version of Bye Bye Blackbird in F MAJOR -- there is absolutely nothing mundane about that! It ain't the key-- its what you do with it!
