Happy 79th birthday Keith - you are so beloved.

What a beautiful piece. I can't believe this was uploaded 14 yrs ago and just heard it today.

The intro is about 60 seconds of sheer beauty. The theme that follows seems to be an extension of a magical statement that has already been created. It feels like the intro could last forever, literally. As I've written in an another video, Keith Jarrett's lyricism is transcendental, there is something absolutely sublime about his melodic lines.

Keith has said that the music just flows through him without thought.

​@@michaelcorenzwit6860 yes, that's how he describes his creative process. But we know that any creative process that involves such degree of complexity and balance demands lots of decisions and an absolute control over the material. That comes from the brain, from the thought process. I just think that what he means is that he is not analyzing the material "per se". The music just flows, as you wrote. But he is constantly thinking as his is generating his melodies, his harmonies; he is constantly shaping his decisions. That constant filtering of very refined ideas is what he is, and that's what makes him create such marvelous music.

@@andradas9688 I was a jazz musician and I felt my improvising was best when my brain was allowing my music to flow freely. Of course the brain is involved in all aspects of our lives but conscious thoughts are not the source of inspiration for improvisation. You need to consciously develop the ability to improvise by hours and hours of practice before you have the ability to allow the music to spontaneously flow through you and your instrument.

@@michaelcorenzwit6860 Melodic and harmonic choices that are not just clichés (the redundant melodic lines taken from other players, the same scales, same voicings, etc, which unfortunately happens A LOT in jazz) require extreme concentration and an acute mind. Concentration does not mean a "barrier" to the "flow" of the creative process, much on the contrary. If hours and hours of practice involve conscious thoughts and you simply take that baggage to the performance itself, you cannot argue that improvisation is spontaneously created. That itself denies KJ's initial statement. As an addendum, for some reason people tend to suggest the existence of an external entity that somehow uses you and your instrument as a vehicle. That's called fantasy (other form of creativity), which is an important part of people's lives, but it is just that. The brain is extremely powerful and even if you think you are creating spontaneously, we know you are basically expressing ideas "trained" and "filtered" beforehand. That's why KJ's statement is a contradiction, which is fine. That doesn't make him less wonderful.

@@andradas9688 I have known and conversed with many great jazz musicians. They universally agree that the music that they play comes from something other than conscious thought. I am in no way implying that there is an external entity involved. Let’s agree that Keith plays wonderfully and is a transcendent genius of creativity.

The variety and range of intensity of feelings stirred by Jarrett ... so distinct from all the music I hear nowadays. Now each song makes you feel something basic the whole way through it, but here there is sentiment that walks through spring, rejected dates, conversational breakthroughs, quiet mornings to think why you are here, gentle but awkward sweetnesses, and a sense that you never get tired of someone if you’re open to allowing them to arouse feeling in you.

I have to agree. At a certain point, this is all subjective. There is a directness to his playing that I can't get enough of. I judge by who I listen to more of. I do listen to Bill, and I got to see Michael Petrucciani. I keep coming back to Keith.

Il re delle ballate, semplicemente celestiale e sensibilissimo. I tempi sono scanditi con maestria e genialità. Gira intorno al tema interpretandolo come mai fatto da nessun pianista jazz. Il piano è l'estensione del suo corpo e della sua mente. È un unicum con lo strumento. Non ho mai ascoltato simili interpretazioni. Una pietra miliare della storia del jazz. Questo pianista è un po' l' evoluzione di Bill Evans.

So many great jazz pianists. However, no one plays as beautifully at both ends of the "way out" to "beautiful ballad" spectrum, as Keith.....see "Sorcery" and "Then I'll be tired of you", or any other American Songbook number. Defines "sensuous"!

I have seen Keith Jarrett many times live. You know when your in the presence of a musical genius.

Only saw him once, Munich 2016. I knew it would be a CD.

The greatest rendition and performance of a gorgeous love song!

I'd never be tired of you, Keith beloved. thrilling, always.

Sensational. A beautiful rendition of a gorgeous ballad. As an aside, the late great Peggy Lee does a tearjerking vocal interpretation.

There is none other like Keith. Listen to that left hand maintaining its rhythm while the right hand solos. Masterful! Thank you, Keith. You are truly loved and missed.

In this piece you can clearly hear Keith controlling every tonal plane, every note literally, no words of admiration ...

That piano is unique. The 2nd / 3rd octaves are alive [They define a piano to me]. No junk notes on that thing. Oh to have such an instrument. I play at home and get angry at the sound. Then I stroll into a hall with one of these creatures and realize I can do it. This guy showes us how to do it dosen't he. What he does is achievable but needs credit for defining this breadth of sound from a single person and one instrument. Will always be credited as this unique man.

One can only speculate on what inspired the remarkable set of ballads in this concert, and inspired they are. I feel like Salieri, given only enough talent to recognize a gift that utterly eclipses my own. One wish: Go back to 1987 and see this in person.

...but I willnever be tired of HIM! Love his playing forever and ever!

RARE GENIUS

I LOVE YOU KEITH

How does he make the piano sound like that, with those chord combinations... it's so beautiful, magical and romantic... ❤️

Just the best in every respect.

When Keith Jarret stands up is not because he has got nessecarely to the toilet or something, but to Salute heaven, and be a little closer, Where he gets his inspiration from...(the Stars of course, They'll Love him Too! )

Unbelievable beauty.

The only other pianist that comes close to the beautiful music that flows through Keith, is Bill Evans.

I love you Mr. Jarret 🌷🌷🌷💖

Fantastico , celestial ,un genio de la improvisación, su música e interpretaciones son mágicas.....

Jarrett is one of one.

❤MAGIC JAZZRRETT!❤

IMO Jarrett is definitive.

I always admired Keith since the 70s. I always noticed like he never looks at the piano keys, its like the piano is a part of his katra and he plays his heart and soul thru his fingers, other keyboardist plays their song pretty much the same like it was played off of a music sheet.. while Keith has no sheet but he just improvise as he plays and it seems no song is played the same the next time he plays it. I have yet to see another Keith Jarrett, now there are alot of awesome pianist out there but nothing like Keith Jarrett.

argenpiano. Maravilloso , su música es celestial, un genio del piano, creo que es el más grande pianista de jazz de la actualidad
