I love to compare Bill Evans Trio with a KJ Trio on the same tune.... That is a great way to educate someone on what Jazz is... see it is the same tune but each artist found a whole new set of ideas and possibilities that the other didn't think of... and believe me the composer wold be astonished! I would have the internet if YouTube were the only thing on it
@Epistemophilos Many people say the singing is involvement in the creation. You become so inspired that all the musical stimulation is too much to handle and you have to physically release it vocally and by movements. I would rather have him continue to be involved and play on that level than seeing a drop in his playing because would restrain himself to accomodate to someones preferences. Bud Powell did the singing, Oscar Peterson, Errol Garner. The list goes on.
JAZZFLUTIST - your a fucking idiot and wouldnt know shit from clay. Obviously no musical sence and cant swing . Choke on your dum ass comment you fool
It all culmated perfectly - came together - for me @8'00 with the fours with DeJohnette. Sounds to me like they - the group peaked around this time - 1986. They reminds me of the MJQ in this respect.
Ok i agree...This is great...But I cant believe it...NOBODY ELSE NOTICED??What about the weird voices you can hear behind the music "singing" the next notes...Its veeeery creepy...It's not the first "top" musician who i see doing this, it is quite amazing how he perfectly knows the next notes he's gonna play while improvising...It still freaks me out though, specialy when they are not supposed to be heard and you can listen to these strange noises...
Playing the piano involves more than "intent." A pianist's physique--including the length and diameter of his fingers--plays into the textures he's capable of extracting from the instrument--as does the breadth and strength of the pianist's shoulders. Bill Evans is the perfect physical specimen joined to the only musical imagination that could have produced the miraculous "Last Waltz" and "Consecration" marathon sets a week before his death. Only Mozart and Verdi have gone there besides Bill.
@caponsacchi Infact Bill Evans did not have perfect posture, hunching over the piano is no better for your sound than standing in front of it. And as for your claim that KJ's position 'limits him to bringing out only a single note,' that's a conscious decision on his part to SING the melody over the top of tthe harmony. Both absolute geniuses, but dynamics-wise Evans prioritised harmony whereas KJ mostly prioritises the melody.
Listen to Bill Evans' voicings--especially the inner notes--along with the sheer richness and fullness of his tone on the same Cole Porter tune as recorded on a Sunday at the Vanguard way back in 1961. And Bill's left hand is as present in the complexity of his tonal textures as is his right hand. Keith's posture--standing, etc.--frequently limits him to bringing out only a single note.
@caponsacchi Keith takes a lot from Bill and typically plays with more verve than Bill did .. which doesn't take anything away from Bill's style. Keith has one of the best left hands in the business ... If he does not comp with his left sometimes, it's because he doesn't want to, not because he is limited.
@bwonderve As many great geniuses like George Benson (and you and me and everybody potentially) for example on guitar, I intuit that Keith is actually endeavouring to sing everything he plays which makes imho for a more authentic connection between instrumentalist instrument and Source and an increased lyricism and melodicism of his improvisation :-)
Again, this is the wall-to-wall notes kind of jazz that I just can't stand. Always in hyper-excite mode like a radio that never turns off, and ultimately, um, boring.
You're as entitled to your opinion as anyone else. But if this is "boring" to you...why don't you look elsewhere and let the rest of us enjoy it in peace?
@jazzflutist try listening to some of Keith's more contemplative stuff like the Koln concert and My Song with saxophonist Jan Garbarek.You might enjoy that more, it might even touch your Soul ..
@JazzLoverKhurram : I've heard the Koln concert several times. I don't like Jan Garbarek. Both are technically brilliant. It is difficult to explain to anyone why I don't like Jarret, so I've given up trying. He's even "good" on classical (e.g. Mozart) but I still don't like him. E.g. I could easily rush out and buy a Michelangeli album, but not Jarret.
@jazzflutist I understand..I didn't initially like Jan Garbarek either -- I always found his tone to be irritating and Jarrett doesn't always have the lightest touch -- "la touche" as it's called in classical circles, and sounds at times rather heavyhanded. I didn't like Charlie Parker either for a long time (I prefer Cannonball Adderley any time of the day or night) but he just grew on me I suppose like all the others.As you say taste is as inexplicable as individual uniqueness :-)
For me it has something to do with Jarret being very brave and technical within the concept of standard jazz base/chord/beat concept, and that is boring .... allmost like listening to "brilliant" guitarists that are stuck soloing to blues for a lifetime.
I need to hear Jarret playing something... well completely "out of jazzconcept" -thing, to really dig it.
Gary Peacock is outrageously talented as well. Let's not forget that. He is playing the bass with the kind of intensity and effortlessness that one would see when someone scratches a hard to reach itch. Indeed, Keith Jarrett would never play with any slouch.
@victorsethy : I'm not sure what you are questioning. ("But why this?"). I have listened to (and listen to) a lot of Keith's playing. By far, the things I listen to most are his Standards. His free playing has informed his blowing on these tunes so that he plays like no one else. Many people play Standards because they are so rich melodically and harmonically.Free playing tends not to be, although it can have its own excitement. As an example, you might try "Facing You."
@HumpaLumpa2009 Yeah! Smoke,and lights, weird clothing,and a dozen of half way naked girls makin' exercise.Music?Oh,that is that strange thing all behind this...do we need it after all? :)
@victorsethy Used to be like you until I realised that there are some very talented jazz pianists out there and other kinds of jazz musicians too(I just enjoy piano the most cause I'm a jazz pianist myself). Check out Brad Mehldau and The Bad Plus. I even enjoy Brad Mehldau more than this guy.
