Solar

[ObscurumJR]

Impressive. His stupid dancing and pathetic mouth sounds annoys me like hell... and yet he plays the piano so damn well. Indeed a strange and wonderful person.

[Thejazzsound]

unbelievable

[lanesblitz]

Splendido.

[betweenthethings]

che dire...mostruoso !

[cegonha02]

embarrassing is your comment you MOFO!

[tastierello1987]

E un grande...!!!

[m3zz0br1a0]

Pure genius, but that's the most embarrassing way to play the piano... :)

[unibomber111]

what..?

[ilovesteelydan]

I have this on dvd. Keith is the best living Jazz Pianist in my opinion. This is a great tune by a great man.

[hablame89]

What DVD is it?

Thank You

[ilovesteelydan]

Keith Jarrett - Solo Tribute the 100th performance in Japan.

[losblitos]

solar, is exelent...yeah

es wonderfoul..tres julli

viva jarret...

[sysphus13]

its interesting to compare the process of a more meditative (physically speaking) player like mehldau to an extroverted player like jarret (physically speaking)...both produce music that is raw, deep, swinging and either introverted or extroverted, but their physical process is so different..

[godswiph]

but of course... mehldau is HUGELY influenced by Jarrett, I'd say more so than any other jazz pianist... but, yeah... they are both EXTRAORDINARY players. this performnace is just not human.

[Doobopp]

Is it a Bill Evans's composition?

[sysphus13]

miles composition

[Doobopp]

Ah, thanks!

[zajaka288]

actually its Chuck Wayne's...originally named Sunny,...

[MDGacetta]

Is this available on DVD in any Keith Jarrett Documentaries? Anyone know?

[thegoodjudge]

[banjalien]

the baddest musician on the planet ;)

[lesproduitsdugers]

Vous ètes fou!!

you crazy

[sysphus13]

its funny that someone gave you a thumbs down...bad means good and baddest means best y'all. get hip to it.

[zaaartin]

Whaaaaaa ahahahah est bonne wha ha ha!

On ne dit pas : the baddest muscician on the planet, on dit: je n'aime pas ca!

WHA hahahah Merci! de m'avoir fait rire!

[ebutuvul]

he has 2 great tasty rythm section too. amreican style with peacock and dejohnette, and european style with weber and christensen.

[banjalien]

holy crap, this is amazing...KJ letting it all hang out for the music...

[afereos]

I would say that Beethoven only can make an equal match of him. Nobody would ever dare to do what he has done, at least outside of their living room. And the same applies for beethoven also in a different way. Both of them dont produce the initial wow! when first experienced by the viewer. A closer look and the known world is dashed to pieces :)

[joeholtsnotes]

Appreciate your analysis.

[myoeman]

Oh my god. I mean I can play this song and put up a fight with it but this is just fucking incredible. One of my favourite things about Keith is that when he plays, he always sounds out what he's playing. It adds quite a touch to his music.

[stereoagentr826]

kills it, kills it, kills it, and is still left with ideas. keith could have played solar for 3 days straight and it would have all been completely amazing

[lesproduitsdugers]

Un morceau génial par un pianiste génial

@ ODRADEK111

He is a great composer! He does not need to be as good as Chopin in composing, because his main ability is IMPROVISING, and there noone beats him.

[flimi]

his right hand is like an alien

i am very sad that he not playing classical music live anymore

[enjoyinglistener]

It's his left hand :-)

[ODRADEK111]

please, stop with these super grandious statements..they are completely irrelevant and anti-musical. Keith Jarrett is a great great pianist...but certainly NOT a great composer!!! He has written some cool stuff...but please...I am sure he himself would agree with me!!and what about that "composers from the 1500's? What about 1600's? and 1700's?? and later!Please!!

[questar1]

kingsnowman... :)Keith is great, but he's no better than Robert Schumann, chopin, brahms, Mozart, Bach,Beethoven, Wagner, surly not Bartok...and let's see Schubert, Alban berg, Stravinsky...

Is he greater than Bill Evans? for me, it depends on what particular day... But he's one of my all time favorites too, so... :)

[KingSnowman]

He is in my Top 5 Greatest Musicians of All Time...(which includes composers from the 1500's as well)

[mrfarfanog]

matt damon!

[sandrexca]

unbelievable playing. Bravo Keith!

[mikeambrose]

one of my favorite keith solo clips. this is absolutely incredible.

[seraphimseven]

Killing...Keith is a genius. Grandmaster improviser.

[brucebud]

Great clip of Keith live!
