Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0042281006722 Format: Live Label: Ecm Records Manufacturer: Ecm Records MPN: 810067 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Ecm Records Release Date: November 16, 1999 Studio: Ecm Records Editorial Review: Amazon.com essential recording: A musical chameleon, pianist Keith Jarrett was at his finest when he recorded these sustained solo improvisations in a German concert hall in 1975, the first lasting 26 minutes, the second 40. Melodies and rhythmic figures arise fluidly from his fingers as he moves from one idea to another, while his strong left hand is often used for repeated motifs that generate a rolling hypnotic power. This couples with strongly consonant harmonies to impart the flavor of gospel music at times, dance musics and Debussy at others. Above all, it's Jarrett's ability to knit all of his moods and wanderings into an almost seamless tapestry of warm and tuneful ideas that gives this music its enduring appeal. --Stuart Broomer Album Description: Limited edition Japanese pressing of the 1975 album comes packaged in an LP sleeve.

 Rating:  - After about 25 years..After about 25 years I've come back around to listen to the Kohln concert. It still matches the visions in my brain. What a wonderful experience -even after Bill Evens... Rating: - A "must-have" for the avid Jazz listener.Having been exposed to Jazz as a child and coming from three musical families I am very sensitive to music and Jarrett's perfomance moved me in a way only Billy Strayhorn (on piano) and Lester Young (on saxophone) had done so before in a duet of Duke Ellington's "Soltitude." This is an essential "must-have" for the avid Jazz listener. ^..^~ Rating:  - Probably the most approachable Jarrett there isThe artistry on this work is unmistakeable Jarrett and I daresay that it has never been duplicated, by KJ or anyone else, since. How in the heck one guy can keep one song going for a half hour (or more) I'll simply never know. But what really drives this recording is the sound. The piano is just not quite right, and the upper and lower registers sound like two completely different instruments. Indeed, in the first song, the bass is so pronounced and so oddly sounding, it had me looking at the liner ... Read More Rating: - Awe-InspiringHere's a suggestion. To fully appreciate this CD, don't slot it into your car's CD player unless you have a really good sound system and you can blast it with your windows closed. Alternatively, pick a quiet period of day, undisturbed by extraneous noises. It also helps to raise the volume. That way you can get the full effect of this extraordinary effort. Non-music worshipers often wonder if you'd buy a CD just for one song. Well, this CD you could buy just for one note. One note on ...

This sound is still fresh and modern Since 1975. Part I, was very fantastic At Nanni Moretti's film "Dear Diary" . When I heard again Part I of this Concert at the end of The first episode "On a Vespa" I decided to get this Album imedetly. Because it will never be an old fashion sound... |
