Keith Jarrett - I Loves You Porgy

[@angusbrownfield8901]

Thank God for recordings like this. Jarrett can't play anymore, but we can still enjoy him (and be uplifted thereby.)

[@The_Lincoln_Penny]

Check out the 2023 Rick Beato podcast with KJ. Although his public performance days are over, he actually can still play some really beautiful music with just his right hand kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpivZGOgec2ih7csi=kwvmyOfi0xkWOvcC

[@jazziseverywhere]

I watch it again and again and again and again...

[@marceloilari9539]

Yes! I don t like loops but this could be eternally looping for me...

[@twcal]

It almost sounds like if Erik Satie if he would have written this. I am always amazed At Jarrett's fine line of jazz/classical elements to his playing. He is one of the few that will be remembered 100, 200, 300 years from now.

[@MrRickywallace]

Maybe the greatest love song ever written-Keith plays it fantastically.

[@cometface]

Every time I listen to this song, I can't tell if it breaks off a piece of my soul or gives me a piece of it back

[@You-qp1wp]

Наклоняясь над клавиатурой, вслушивается пианист в каждый звук, в звуковые сочетания, колебаний вибраций струн. Лучшие друзья: пианист и инструмент. Понимают друг друга касанием клавиш.

[@WazzuCougrrs]

I can’t imagine my life without Keith Jarrett’s music. He opens me up.

[@bertdaniel1449]

Wow, what a stylist. I listened to Keith many years ago and his Death of a Flower album was one of my favorites. I also remember Nina Simone singing this song so beautifully. Jarrett shows incredible virtuosity to play it without words.

[@donaldboodel]

Getting old isn't that tough. Keep an open mind. One doesn't have to get rid of favorite horses or piano players. I just got on this horse, Jarrett. He's givin me a hellova ride. He took me to hear Danny Boy, and I Love You Porgy. A different, haunting, unforgettable sound for me. Jarrett is a thoroughbred. A winner. Discovery keeps me young and curious. Try it.

[@eberniewon]

Recordings like this remind us that music is not an ephemeral beauty. It will last as long as our memories behold its sublime nature....Simply breath taking. Jarrett is an amazing artist. Bravo..!!

[@choc_chip]

This is just sublime. His touch on the piano is one of the most sensitive in jazz.

[@kenforfia5067]

No need to confine it to jazz.

[@erwinpronk4776]

It's so beautifull to see all his emotions while he's playing.. his love and hate for the piano.. he truly embodies his music. It can't get anymore real than this for me. An ode to what man is capable doing.. not only musically but spiritually as well..

[@ReminiscenceHr]

He makes a sigh on 3:29... It's just love, I can feel it too. That's what music is about. That's what music is man. Keith... man...

[@albertolofeudo2018]

Mr. Jarrett, through his interpretations, makes us go through the most subtle dimensions of being

[@grannyluluanthony3608]

All his jazz music has made me think better thanks

[@TheFunkyKingston]

This man has unbelievable voicings...he has tamed the harmony!

[@partidoalto1]

Dynamics and pure touch says it all for Keith. He's got it all. Gershwin is smiling in the heavens.

[@johnp8122]

If this was the only tune Keith ever played, his legacy would be assured. But it's not. He imbues everything he plays with the soul of an artist. And it's a privilege to share a piece of that soul.

[@sandraeckelhofer]

so true, John P. I couldn't agree more. I truly love this man. I loves you Keith.

[@clydell4720]

I'm a huge Bill Evans and Ahmad Jamal fan, but know naught of Mr Jarrett. Have you any suggestions regarding where to start?

[@robertmondat494]

He is the pianist he is the voice long life i hope we gonna keep you in our heart s for ever

[@robertmondat494]

Merci Keith my friend Keith

[@mkleber]

My favorite Jarrett albums are The Melody at Night with You, Jasmine, and Last Dance. You should also check out Standards volumes 1 and 2. Many consider the Koln Concert to be his best live recording. Enjoy.

[@wawa99]

this is truly amazing from the first note to the foot that leaves the pedal.. wow. This is, for me, the best thing in the world, and I feel sad for all the people that dont/cant appriciate this as much as I do. I feel like a new person after listening to this, truly wonderfull

[@maryannhanlon7828]

Probably my favorite song and so exquisitely played /felt ….am in awe

[@anneonym7346]

The man, the music, the piano = a whole. Mastery in it's ultimate level.

[@sandraeckelhofer]

I loves you, Keith.

[@lewfarkyy]

my favourite versions of this tune are by the bill evans trio, and keith jarrett, just sublime interpretations all around, two masters…

[@sugarkang]

You know what... I think this is the definitive version of this song.

[@rosajardin9710]

Mr. Jarrett tells us the tragic story of Bess as "she explained it to him through this brilliant rendition" - "Bess's Lament". I would love to have seen Ms. Misty Copeland dance to this music while he is playing it. My eyes are tearing - this music is phenomenal. Sorry, but Gershwin did not play the story of Bess like Mr. Jarrett. Thank you for the genius and gracious music you left us, Keith.

[@monkgroupie]

I think next time someone from Mars asks me to explain "love", I will just let them listen to this...I'm sure they'll get it...

[@christiansteinbrecher3095]

Well said, thanks for your comment!

[@drmassa2998]

You can barely take a breath of when listening and watching him. Amazing musician! Bravo!

[@WazaKaiSprout]

if there was ever a musician who was one with his music. its keith jarrett. nuff said

[@danidrums06]

This is the most beatuiful thing i ever seen in my life

[@DocMartin]

Well over 40 years since first hearing it, every note memorized and repeated in my head maybe thousands of times. Had no idea it was improvised, nor the backstory until today. Truly a pivotal piece of music in my, and I'll bet many others, life.

[@emilyhutjes]

I love you Mr. Jarrett all the way from Holland-eu. 🌷🌷🌷❤

[@pianoexplorations]

What a sophisticated lyrical melody and harmony !

[@dwightkschrute80]

Brings tears to my eyes.

[@trr12]

yes, macdries, I agree, before being a musician he is a great human being. He keeps his humbleness, he is not carried away by fame, he maintains his sensitivity intact. And that makes him a great pianist!

[@OliverPontius]

He says more in the 2nd chord of this song than I can in an entire solo. Not a day goes by when I didn't wish I was this man.

[@giovannifortunato6118]

I'm flying in paradise

[@SimonBelowpiano]

One of my favourite song played by one of my favourite pianist!!! =) I LOVE THIS SONG!

[@Shazbut01]

Also, I find that listening to his solo work especially, like his recording of "Starbright", there is incredible tension in there. You can almost feel emotion pulling at it, as if it's dying to break free, and he doesn't let it and the effect is very powerful. He's so concentrated. Listen as deep as you can, the music is so precise. I think if I could play like that, I'd probably find myself moving like he does.

[@Piercostanzo]

Ci sono persone cara mia che lasciano questo mondo senza avere lasciato nulla se non tristezza e vuoto; altri che invece segnano momenti del tempo in modo indelebile e netto. Questa musica non permetterà mai a questo mondo essere un mondo piatto e triste e vuoto ,ma rimarrà per sempre per riempirlo,perchè questa musica è l'espressione del mondo stesso,del vero mondo.

[@willieriley7054]

Great player. Wish Keith Jarrett and musicians well. Great performance here!!!

[@Shazbut01]

This is the only version of this song that I've heard that does justice to the emotion. It is one of the most powerful songs I know and yet you always hear it as some sort of jazz/lounge thing. Read the lyrics. You can't play this without it coming from the earth, and this performance, aside from being musically flawless (the harmony blows my mind) is an example of just that.

[@seapet2007]

I think he plays with his entire body and soul, I find it very beautiful. brings tears to my eyes.

[@longyear8015]

Thank you to Gershwin and Keith Jarret! Something of unique!

[@ЮраАверкин-е5ж]

Keith Jarrett изумляет красота и утонченность музыки,. которую воспринимаешь".безумие" нежности, теплоты и гениальности, которая в последствии будет оценена сполна. Это великий музыкант с прекрасной тонкой душой Когда Keith Jarret играет свои соло он живет там, где мы можем только остановиться и эта остановка длиться секунду. Нам нельзя дольше нам можно только прикоснуться.

[@lotfihouha]

he is so simple for what he is . i think he is the music itself

[@koko-kh5hp]

Thanks a million! A peace from Heaven. Cheers!

[@joshmc4]

Raw emotion that pulls at the heartstrings. A true genius.

[@carmenchao3651]

Wow. Exquisite. Thank you for posting.

[@TheFunkyKingston]

Greatest living pianist,on jazz and classical repertoire...!

[@PJ-ce3pe]

Maybe friend...but against the deceased jazz legend Bill Evans, Keith Jarret is just noise.

[@pharoahrussell]

@@PJ-ce3pe That's a very silly comment because it's simply not true. They are both grand masters, I listen way more to Keith, it's what touches you more I guess.

[@andreslka]

ok. 10th time hearing this in a row. I guess I'll stay at home the rest of the day. Thank you very much for this.

[@井熊崇人]

もう何も言えない。素晴らしい。

[@drewyoon]

I understand musicians being sensitive to showboating, like a conductor that's trying to hard, as if he hears and feels things we can only dream of comprehending... but seriously, I feel Mr. Jarrett's movements on the inside when I hear this. It's marvelous.

[@grandpepere]

This work is breathtaking. Keith is channeling the same spiritual feeling that Gershwin had through his own experience. The piano isn't the instrument playing the music. Keith's body is. The piano is a convenient extension for his hands and the hands are a convenient extension of his soul. This is pure movement! I have credentials to stand behind my assessment. This is genius.

[@merilion12]

supremely difficult and yet so simple. beautiful.

[@rasjvon]

he is what he is....best living interpreter of the american songbook

[@maccbetto]

deep in the soul with bill evans, high in the sky with keith jarrett.

[@joshmc4]

i can't begin to imagine what jarrett is feeling whilst playing this. it fills me up with words that i cannot describe, he makes me feel something far beyond words could ever explain and this is only listening to it. jarrett must be in his own world, truely wonderful.

[@GoldenPhoenix-p8s]

this is so incredibly beautiful

[@widerling]

Love the keithism vocal "outburst" when he's in it. "AAHHH!!!"

[@jamesvalko6998]

My God. This is heaven.

[@holyburn]

Keith is not contrived... he is real and driven by his spirit. Let that criticism go and you have found a way to listen to one of the greatest improvisers of our time.

[@lpsling]

Keith is just a big river of music..

[@yakoubyakoub9315]

Jesus. Amazing. Thank you.

[@rodneybrown5196]

Amazing Talent! Mesmerizing

[@paxwallacejazz]

I honestly can't imagine the world without Mr Jarrett . I am so glad that he didn't make some of the dangerous choices that so many other great practioners of this music did .

[@paulr.4968]

Keith Jarrett & George Gershwin- perfection.

[@AxistubeToulouse]

awesome rendition of an awesome song

[@MrRickywallace]

Great introduction with the middle part-one of the top 10 greatest love songs-by Gershwin!

[@GUARDONISSIMO1]

oh that cd... what elegance, love.. calm... beauty...

[@zacharylavender1568]

He has such a “masterful approach” to the piano!

[@jerryarispi8386]

Those hands have so much breath in them. Phenomenal

[@giovannifortunato6118]

Questo pianista è di una sensibilità raffinata, unica, inconfondibile. E' più penetrante e struggente della versione di Bill Evans. L'alternarsi di alti e bassi, il prolungare o accorciare ogni nota, i tempi e gli stacchi, le variazioni del tema intorno a cui costruisce semplicemente l'infinito, fanno di questo immenso pianista jazz il più grande in assoluto di tutti i tempi.

[@ЛюдмилаГорячкина-о8к]

Отличный комментарий. Спасибо.

[@bontempo01]

An amazing rendition of a gorgeous song by Gerswhin. That's what happens when a genius recreates music from another genius...

[@paulostroff99]

Beautifully played!

[@JaniceAndersonMusic]

Just singing this today. What a beautiful version.

[@ManagerGuy1]

This man is an ARTISTE!

[@giorgiikhutsishvili]

Koln, Vienna, La Scala, Paris, Encores.. Without these music I don"t Know..

[@chopinlover49]

I am aware of his classical endeavors, but I ignored them in the past because so often when non-classical artists dabble in the classics, the results are unsatisfactory. However, now that I am aware of his talents, I will check them out, too. Of course, I already have thousands of classical cds which includes great performances of almost any keyboard work of importance.

[@robertmondat494]

Boulversant à chaque fois merci Keith jarrett merci

[@goldengab]

Is normal, Keith is a perfectionist, and this kind of behaviour is typical of classic piano players, but as jazzist is simply amazing and unique. He is a genious, like Ray Charles or Beethoven.

[@JLorz84]

Yes he's a pure artist.

[@thanhmvo]

So beautiful!

[@CherylG300]

Wow! Thank you.

[@conciufius]

thank you for uploading this!

[@NeilS.]

The work on intervals is so perfectly done !! Damn you Keith!! :D

[@jazzlife1]

That was beautiful!!!

[@milensot]

great music performed by great piano player, thanks a lot....

[@mauriciolaurino]

Tulio,ho la sensazione che quando seuto keith Jarret che la chive sono un'estensione dell'anima dell'uomo, è superbo

[@smoothjazz6915]

Beautiful!

[@dwightkschrute80]

Such beautiful playing. But that's to be expected from an artist like Keith.

[@hyunjeelee8416]

Makes me feel alive -

[@estudosheideggerianosmanue6704]

most beautiful music. He is always with me, wonderful company.

[@stevemarks6281]

deep into my soul and body.

[@futurists7076]

The GOAT, definitively

[@buxycat]

My tears are my applause.

[@iNakmj]

so beautiful.

[@Jin-iy3mp]

This is super heaven

[@beeeeeeeen]

Beautiful..

[@garethwilkinson3456]

The album is The Melody at Night, With You. It's very good.

[@123must]

Beautiful ! Thanks

[@Modernjazz1]

yeah Bill's version from the 68 Montreux festival is one of the most moving pieces of music I've ever heard. his version from 1979 live in Paris is also very beautiful.
