Génial. Un free jazz très audible. Très tendu et qui reste cohérent et inscrit dans le thème du morceau. L'improvisation de Keith est extraordinaire. Quelle énergie .
Keith is almost going into "Sun Ra" like atonal dissonance at 2:45. He gets out of it in 10 seconds or so. this is a gorgeous piece. My personal favorite Keith Jarrett album is "Belonging"(1974), recorded that april in Norway and features Jan Garabek, Jon Christianson, Pelle Danielson and Keith Jarrett. A must have, just like his most famous album, "The Koln Concert".
I always thought Jarrett's albums were kind of boring and a bit cheesy, but it is great to see him inspired and reaching for it - (still a little creepy with all that moaning though!) Who is the bassist? Is it Weber before electric? It almost looks like him?
The album My song with this song Mandala is one of my favorite Jarrett records. I saw Keith Jarrett tro 2 weeks ago at the NJ PAC in Newark NJ. Great Concert!!
jarretts technique is absolutely ridiculous.. he can do what ever he's feeling.. his mind and fingers are synched in a way which allows for true expression.
if you think the standards trio is lame, get always let me go. its the standards trio totally improvising an entire concert. its two discs of absolutely fiery improvisation. it goes in between passages of intense free jazz, groovin swing, and unclassifiable new shit that you've never heard. that album proves that peacock, dejohnnete, and jarrett's standards trio IS NOT PLAYED OUT. but i guess it isnt really the standards trio cuz its all improv. whatever. pick it up now!!
I saw the trio 2 weeks ago in Newark Nj and they were great. They are far from lame . They not only played in great ballads but jammed the blues and in invredible improvisations that only peacock and Dejohnette could pull off with impecable timing and musicality.
The first time i have listen to Keith Jarret was on 1981, when my girlfriend came on with a cassette that her brother gift to her saying that, as he lives in Europe, he always install the sound system to a Piano player named Keith Jarret ...It was (Koln) concert. In the same casstte there was also, an improvisation that Keith didn't recorded before and it was live.
Until this moment still when i listen to that cassette i have in Mexico now, i always feel deeply this love "session" i had that "sunday" and all the other sundays at10:00am for almost 5 consecutive years.
I think that the improvisation i'm talking about was in Bremen.. but i'm not sure as i live in Sweden.
Let us embrace the wider intervallic poly-tonal free Jazz, after all, it is the next logical progression of musical structure and expression. It's so real. Life doesn't have to be pretty in order to make a statement. I find this band so refreshing and so unlike today's plastic garbage media music. Jan's sax, stretching out to the universe and back...What a long strange TRIP it's been!
I have to agree with iwantawatchsomethin - first impressions of music are often very limited - so many impressions I've had of music has changed upon repeated listenings - some things that charmed immediately lost their charm, others that repelled revealed deeper treasures. I think that many people never venture past their immediate response, and I believe they lose out.

Charles Johnson's friend was right, this was horrible- everything wrong with Jazz as an art form was on display here: most significantly a loose concept of the form of what we call a "song" in music, people playing to a common theme or purpose.
There is none of that here. It's all that trashy "lookit me!" without the metal guitarists attempt to play with the overarching chord structure. Jazz is earlier punk music: an attempt to piss the squares by making something repulsive.
These players for certain, are playing with a theme. You can hear it, for example, in Jarrett's interval choices. He is creating variations of the stated motive
You remind me of Twain's take on Wagner: "His music is better than it sounds". How closely do I have to pay attention to detect the "song" quality of the song?
I am sure you are correct in your assessment. I am sure if I pay close enough attention and put the work in, I will clearly detect the structures he was working from. But blues musicians often do thematic brace work, but I don't have to work to find it. I just don't think listening to music should require homework.
Thanks for acknowledging my point, while expressing your own. If I understand you correctly, there is merit in approaching music innocently rather than analytically. I would say, though, that listening IS the homework, and that the more you listen to this music the more evident is the relationship between the statements of soloists and that of the main theme. Analysis is really a last resort, to my way of thinking, to enjoying new unusual formal innovations. Thanks for commenting.
I would say you've put it too clearly, too exactly: I wouldn't say innocence versus analysis, I would say more "Does this sound good?".
I'm a snob music player myself, and have very definite opinions about music and the skill that should be employed in its creation, but I also know modern classical composers are complete poseurs who chose atonality and post-structure out of politics, not 'cause it sounds purty.
I know having to understand theory to appreciate something means it's no good.
Approaching music purely on its first impressions is very limited, I think, and a little education can open up some minds/ears to sounds and forms that were formerly strange or unacceptable. I would never assume, for example, that developing an appreciation of other art forms such as literature, would not benefit from some theoretical study. I am a lover of music, and a critical listener, but I wouldn't want to be called a snob. Not in the least. Thanks for commenting.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Total agreement. I'm all for further appreciation of form. I'm just not for music that sounds like various instruments being thrown down the stairs at the same time.
If you are talking about this music, then I would say your criticism has very limited value, as the music simply repulses you. It does not draw you in, to understand more, even if its to understand more of what makes you uncomfortable. I think it is a better use of your critical powers to criticize music you like, or at least genres that you enjoy and understand. Otherwise you are an outsider merely.
on 5:47 what's the name of that thecnic? could be considerar as a tremolo? how many repeated notes can the sax play very fast? and how can i write in a part? thanks if somebody answers my question
este cuarteto sueco y el americano fueron un buen inicio para que jarrett se desarrollara aún más pero no fue así.En todo caso en esos años había músicos mucho más creativos que hoy en día conforman la elite de la vanguardia. El sello ECM siempre ha sido de corte más comercial.
I agree. I find his Standards trio almost arrogant sounding. It has this attitude that for some reason I feel insulted by it. I don't know why I think so I just do. This is coming from a big fan of his older music, such as this group.
Agreed. The level of the musicianship is, of course, worldclass, but the New Standard's Trio's sound(concept?) was "played out" years ago. It's over-documented and now quite stale. Mr. Jarrett __ please move on!
Brilliant! That grouping with Palle Daniellsson db, Jon Christensen drums was superb....never got to see them live sooooo this is the next best thing....thank you!!!
