Thank God for recordings like this. Jarrett can't play anymore, but we can still enjoy him (and be uplifted thereby.)

Check out the 2023 Rick Beato podcast with KJ. Although his public performance days are over, he actually can still play some really beautiful music with just his right hand kzread.info/dash/bejne/qpuAlZKjdMvVgbg.htmlsi=kwvmyOfi0xkWOvcC

It almost sounds like if Erik Satie if he would have written this. I am always amazed At Jarrett's fine line of jazz/classical elements to his playing. He is one of the few that will be remembered 100, 200, 300 years from now.

Recordings like this remind us that music is not an ephemeral beauty. It will last as long as our memories behold its sublime nature....Simply breath taking. Jarrett is an amazing artist. Bravo..!!

I watch it again and again and again and again...

Maybe the greatest love song ever written-Keith plays it fantastically.

I can’t imagine my life without Keith Jarrett’s music. He opens me up.

Getting old isn't that tough. Keep an open mind. One doesn't have to get rid of favorite horses or piano players. I just got on this horse, Jarrett. He's givin me a hellova ride. He took me to hear Danny Boy, and I Love You Porgy. A different, haunting, unforgettable sound for me. Jarrett is a thoroughbred. A winner. Discovery keeps me young and curious. Try it.

Mr. Jarrett, through his interpretations, makes us go through the most subtle dimensions of being

It's so beautifull to see all his emotions while he's playing.. his love and hate for the piano.. he truly embodies his music. It can't get anymore real than this for me. An ode to what man is capable doing.. not only musically but spiritually as well..

This is just sublime. His touch on the piano is one of the most sensitive in jazz.

No need to confine it to jazz.

If this was the only tune Keith ever played, his legacy would be assured. But it's not. He imbues everything he plays with the soul of an artist. And it's a privilege to share a piece of that soul.

My favorite Jarrett albums are The Melody at Night with You, Jasmine, and Last Dance. You should also check out Standards volumes 1 and 2. Many consider the Koln Concert to be his best live recording. Enjoy.

This man has unbelievable voicings...he has tamed the harmony!

He makes a sigh on 3:29... It's just love, I can feel it too. That's what music is about. That's what music is man. Keith... man...

Dynamics and pure touch says it all for Keith. He's got it all. Gershwin is smiling in the heavens.

I think next time someone from Mars asks me to explain "love", I will just let them listen to this...I'm sure they'll get it...

Well said, thanks for your comment!

this is truly amazing from the first note to the foot that leaves the pedal.. wow. This is, for me, the best thing in the world, and I feel sad for all the people that dont/cant appriciate this as much as I do. I feel like a new person after listening to this, truly wonderfull

I loves you, Keith.

You know what... I think this is the definitive version of this song.

You can barely take a breath of when listening and watching him. Amazing musician! Bravo!

All his jazz music has made me think better thanks

This is the most beatuiful thing i ever seen in my life

Brings tears to my eyes.

Greatest living pianist,on jazz and classical repertoire...!

Maybe friend...but against the deceased jazz legend Bill Evans, Keith Jarret is just noise.

@@PJ-ce3pe That's a very silly comment because it's simply not true. They are both grand masters, I listen way more to Keith, it's what touches you more I guess.

What a sophisticated lyrical melody and harmony !

Wow, what a stylist. I listened to Keith many years ago and his Death of a Flower album was one of my favorites. I also remember Nina Simone singing this song so beautifully. Jarrett shows incredible virtuosity to play it without words.

Probably my favorite song and so exquisitely played /felt ….am in awe

Wow. Exquisite. Thank you for posting.

One of my favourite song played by one of my favourite pianist!!! =) I LOVE THIS SONG!

Great introduction with the middle part-one of the top 10 greatest love songs-by Gershwin!

Keith is just a big river of music..

Amazing Talent! Mesmerizing

Raw emotion that pulls at the heartstrings. A true genius.

The work on intervals is so perfectly done !! Damn you Keith!! :D

this is so incredibly beautiful

So beautiful!

Ci sono persone cara mia che lasciano questo mondo senza avere lasciato nulla se non tristezza e vuoto; altri che invece segnano momenti del tempo in modo indelebile e netto. Questa musica non permetterà mai a questo mondo essere un mondo piatto e triste e vuoto ,ma rimarrà per sempre per riempirlo,perchè questa musica è l'espressione del mondo stesso,del vero mondo.

Great player. Wish Keith Jarrett and musicians well. Great performance here!!!

Well over 40 years since first hearing it, every note memorized and repeated in my head maybe thousands of times. Had no idea it was improvised, nor the backstory until today. Truly a pivotal piece of music in my, and I'll bet many others, life.

Just singing this today. What a beautiful version.

Love the keithism vocal "outburst" when he's in it. "AAHHH!!!"

supremely difficult and yet so simple. beautiful.

Thank you to Gershwin and Keith Jarret! Something of unique!

That was beautiful!!!

Mr. Jarrett tells us the tragic story of Bess as "she explained it to him through this brilliant rendition" - "Bess's Lament". I would love to have seen Ms. Misty Copeland dance to this music while he is playing it. My eyes are tearing - this music is phenomenal. Sorry, but Gershwin did not play the story of Bess like Mr. Jarrett. Thank you for the genius and gracious music you left us, Keith.

thank you for uploading this!

I think he plays with his entire body and soul, I find it very beautiful. brings tears to my eyes.

Also, I find that listening to his solo work especially, like his recording of "Starbright", there is incredible tension in there. You can almost feel emotion pulling at it, as if it's dying to break free, and he doesn't let it and the effect is very powerful. He's so concentrated. Listen as deep as you can, the music is so precise. I think if I could play like that, I'd probably find myself moving like he does.

Beautiful ! Thanks

This is the only version of this song that I've heard that does justice to the emotion. It is one of the most powerful songs I know and yet you always hear it as some sort of jazz/lounge thing. Read the lyrics. You can't play this without it coming from the earth, and this performance, aside from being musically flawless (the harmony blows my mind) is an example of just that.

I love you Mr. Jarrett all the way from Holland-eu. 🌷🌷🌷❤

Beautifully played!

most beautiful music. He is always with me, wonderful company.

I'm flying in paradise

Wow! Thank you.

great music performed by great piano player, thanks a lot....

Beautiful!

he is so simple for what he is . i think he is the music itself

This man is an ARTISTE!

awesome rendition of an awesome song

Keith Jarrett & George Gershwin- perfection.

Keith Jarrett изумляет красота и утонченность музыки,. которую воспринимаешь".безумие" нежности, теплоты и гениальности, которая в последствии будет оценена сполна. Это великий музыкант с прекрасной тонкой душой Когда Keith Jarret играет свои соло он живет там, где мы можем только остановиться и эта остановка длиться секунду. Нам нельзя дольше нам можно только прикоснуться.

oh that cd... what elegance, love.. calm... beauty...

yes, macdries, I agree, before being a musician he is a great human being. He keeps his humbleness, he is not carried away by fame, he maintains his sensitivity intact. And that makes him a great pianist!

so beautiful.

Beautiful..

An amazing rendition of a gorgeous song by Gerswhin. That's what happens when a genius recreates music from another genius...

deep in the soul with bill evans, high in the sky with keith jarrett.

Those hands have so much breath in them. Phenomenal

I just love this one...

He says more in the 2nd chord of this song than I can in an entire solo. Not a day goes by when I didn't wish I was this man.

beautiful rendition.

beautiful !

もう何も言えない。素晴らしい。

if there was ever a musician who was one with his music. its keith jarrett. nuff said

My God. This is heaven.

Jesus. Amazing. Thank you.

Makes me feel alive -

he is what he is....best living interpreter of the american songbook

Boulversant à chaque fois merci Keith jarrett merci

Yes he's a pure artist.

Koln, Vienna, La Scala, Paris, Encores.. Without these music I don"t Know..

Pure beauty!

I understand musicians being sensitive to showboating, like a conductor that's trying to hard, as if he hears and feels things we can only dream of comprehending... but seriously, I feel Mr. Jarrett's movements on the inside when I hear this. It's marvelous.

He has such a “masterful approach” to the piano!

wonderful !!!!!!!!

Thank you.

I honestly can't imagine the world without Mr Jarrett . I am so glad that he didn't make some of the dangerous choices that so many other great practioners of this music did .

ok. 10th time hearing this in a row. I guess I'll stay at home the rest of the day. Thank you very much for this.

deep into my soul and body.

Simply beautiful...... Doug G in LV

i can't begin to imagine what jarrett is feeling whilst playing this. it fills me up with words that i cannot describe, he makes me feel something far beyond words could ever explain and this is only listening to it. jarrett must be in his own world, truely wonderful.

Just a pure magic...

formidable!!!

incredible

Very well said!

The GOAT, definitively

My tears are my applause.

Que música mas bella, me encanta el piano!!

Sublime...
