Editorial Review: Album Description: Keith Jarrett is nothing less than a living legend. Audiences flock to his rare performances in the world’s finest concert halls, and it is his unique ability to create music in the moment that has made him most famous – his spontaneous improvisations often sound as if they’ve been carefully composed over time. His 1975 album, The Köln Concert, catapulted him onto the world stage, and – at 4 million copies and counting – is the best-selling solo piano recording of all time. In 2005, Keith Jarrett played his first US solo concert in a decade on the stage of Carnegie Hall, America’s most celebrated venue. One year later to the day, this electrifying night of music will be released. Amazon.com: Since being afflicted in the late '90s with chronic fatigue syndrome, which kept him on the sidelines for several years, Keith Jarrett has had to reinvent himself as a performer. It's no slight on his classic live recitals of the past to suggest that has proven to be a fruitful development. In moving away from his long, inwardly streaming, lyrically sustained works and adopting a more easygoing episodic approach, he has become more accessible (and less windy) without sacrificing intensity or the freedom to draw upon all manner of styles including blues, gospel, and Americana. Recorded in 2005, The Carnegie Hall Concert features a 10-part piece that runs a gamut of moods and emotions. The enjoyable encore portion consists of three new originals, including a standard, "Time on My Hands," and a rare, enthusiastically received Jarrett oldie, "My Song," from the '70s. This is the 61-year-old artist's 25th solo album for ECM--most in a jazz genre but some classical, most on piano but some on organ and harpsichord and even wind instruments. It leaves you looking forward to number 26. --Lloyd Sachs Average Rating:
 Rating:  - This CD is mostly for Keith and those who were there...For me, Keith Jarrett music evokes a very strong feeling...eternal longing, hope, discovery, sadness and regret. When I drove those 10 hours with my friends to see Keith play at Carnegie Hall, I longed to hear his music and experience those emotions, to be sure, but I also wanted to be there in the same room with him--to tell him what his music means to me. When I got there, it seemed to me that everyone who was there had that same desire. We all know Keith's story, we ...

This recording takes this to an absurd level at times, so that we are not only subjected to the irritation of seemingly interminable applause after a piece, but following the much-hoped-for silence preceding the next piece we get... more applause, then silence, then a bit more applause. For me it makes for an unpleasant listening experience, one I don't like to repeat often. If you like long ...

Much of the music on this disc is nothing less than a sonic rip off of what Boulez and Berio were doing in the 60s, but without any of the highly developed and extremely sophisticated structural and developmental elements that make that music great. He doesn't even understand what he's quite lamely attempting to emulate. It's ersatz and quite embarrassing really, especially for someone of Jarrett's ... Read More Rating:  - TearsI have seen Keith live many times, and every time it is like a sacred pilgrimage. This is a brilliantly produced album, and I had tears rolling down my eyes with the first notes of the encores. Every 50 or 100 years or so a musical giant brings music back to the rest of humanity. Keith is that giant, and brings blessings every time he reaches for the keys. Rating: - So Great to Hear Mr Jarrett Again!I've been listening to Keith Jarrett's music since the late 70s. He never fails to touch my heart. All those LPs I once bought on vinyl were eventually replaced on CD format - they are so nice without turntable rumble and static pops. Now I listen on my iPod too... Such lovely stuff. SO - about those comments regarding applause. Here's one solution IF you are going to make mp3 files from these songs for your iPod. You can trim the ends off (either end) of songs when you import them ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
