Keith Jarrett: Piano

[@jazztemple2]

It gives me strength to "meet" all of you here, on this page, all of us thankful for this man and his music. We live in dismal times -- thank you Keith (and all of you who appreciate the gifts he has given us) for making life so much better than it would have been otherwise. Love, folks. Thank you one and all. Peace out.

[@MethenySco]

To have every note go through your body so that you're possessed to dance to your own playing- now that's passion, that's feeling, that's jazz!!!

[@MarcBosserman]

That's Keith! : )

[@phoenixeyeris]

Can't get enough of this. It just gets better and better. What a wizard. Some of the longest cleanest runs (lovely blue note choices enroute) I've heard him throw down since Koln. This is the shiiiiiiiiiiiiit!

[@bruzmob1]

There's a word for that: genius.

[@jazztemple2]

In my humble opinion, one of the all time best solo piano perfomances ever!

[@secretmission7607]

Just every note here is in exactly the right place (in time). Glorious. No one matches Jarrett's time!

[@voliteon]

This absolutely blows me away. Have been listening to it for years and it's one of my favourite piano performances. Incredible.

[@jazztemple2]

Yes!

[@Ashley-qc2sc]

Glorious! I hope there are more recordings to come.

[@voliteon]

I keep coming back to this. So incredible.

[@benoitschwob3498]

I deeply like watching Keith Jarrett stepping on the spot while playing the piano... I'm pretty sure that if piano had knees on its legs, it would step along with the master! 😀

[@ChristianValk]

He digs into the piece and transform at the end to the piece. This is not only music, it‘s metaphysics

[@skelppie]

I personally find it rather amazing that someone can feel that much emotion in their playing. Shows that feeling is just as important as your playing. This is utterly flawless and I can't stop watching it.

[@jazztemple2]

Fuckin' A.

[@radiokid2]

that bridge is (I think) melody of "You Came a long Way From St Louie."

[@NathanDavis-zd2op]

The Greatest pianist in the world!!!

[@jazztemple2]

Leo, My sentiments exactly! I am so glad to live in a world with his music. Peace out.

[@radiokid2]

I've prob. heard everything he did in 40 years and this may be the most enjoyable ones...!

[@LeoCagape]

Sublime. I am always amazed.

[@jazztemple2]

Yes!

[@louislafontaine5984]

There is not much « sublime » surrounding us (nature left apart). But I watch this complete concert and it gives me this sublime sentiment. A true masterful artist.

[@jazztemple2]

For those of you who play piano and want to go crazy do the "impossible", there is actually a transcription of this available! Good luck!

[@jeangobeil4922]

WHERE IS THE TRANSCRIPTION AVAILABLE ?

[@AndreasDelleske]

@@jeangobeil4922 somewhere, over the rainbow :)

[@giovannifortunato6118]

Just really amazing

[@MrGuto]

Masterful!

[@michaelhayes690]

Fantastic! Get well soon! Thanks!

[@mharbaugh]

On the head, the bridge he plays is actually the bridge from "You Came A Long Way From St. Louis!"

[@SuperHinckley]

Class !

[@mtbarros5194]

Grande! Grande! Grande!

[@hitjhits]

Absolutely Beautiful!!!!!!!! :)

[@guscaldas2]

It is one of his many dimensions! All equally powerful! Cheers

[@zitherbefree]

forever a great jazz standard, I love your fantastic and emotionally playing, greetings from Vienna, Guenter.

[@psheep8206]

Concerto for Keithie

[@jazztemple2]

Mac Gyver. Thank you for the insightful comments. The noises are most certainly NOT arbitrary. And yes, people need to focus more. Well said.

[@jazztemple2]

Julien! Thank you so much for the info. I always wondered where he got that bridge. I've attempted to play this piece (this way) and of course have neither the ear to figure it out nor the hands to play it :-) but I do copy his bridge when I struggle through it. What an absolutely astounding performance!

[@LucLongley23]

Close your eyes if you don't care for the way he looks. As far as the grunting and foot stomping is concerned, I see it as inextricably linked contextual info. Music does not exist in some metaphysical void - some vacuum. In fact, the only reason we hear at all is because of a physical context. I thought the Hegelian promise of perfection had died a long time ago. If you find it distracting, maybe you're not focused enough. The noises are not arbitrary.

[@jazztemple2]

Mac, fuckin' A! Preach brother/sister/other! You have evoked my thoughts "perfectly" (pun intended). "[it is] inextricably linked contextual info. Music does not exist in some metaphysical void - some vacuum." Beautifully stated. I am soooooo fucking tired of these complaints about Jarrett's dancing, his noises...hey, go fucking listen to some other fucking pianist, someone who plays "perfectly" (with no mistakes) but who has no soul, no passion, will NOT reach out beyond his/her own abilities and take chances. This man has blessed our ears with the most sublime, lush, beautiful, angular, tonal, atonal, harmonically creative...........damn, I think I need a dictionary or I'll NEVER find all the adjectives........music in this century. If you don't hear that I have a suggestion. Listen more. Listen better. Close your eyes. Wake the fuck up! Oh yeah, and if you wanna hear Mr. Jarrett without the things which so upset your delicate sensibilities, listen to him performing classical music (which, like all other forms, he does admirably!)...you will find nary a dance, nary a grunt.

[@teddypantelas]

It’s the beauty of who Keith Jarrett is. Genius!, playing standards with such conviction and honesty -always.

[@KippleyTouvell]

I want his left hand...

[@aleale1345]

Craziness.. you should check out D'Angelo, he has an amazing left hand has well

[@Melpheos1er]

hey, i wrote that.... (on another KJ video :p )

[@jelloboy61]

Alex Ayala-Palacin are you serious? D'Angelo? Do you know who Keith Jarrett is? Please look at his bio and recorded output. Hard to put those two in the same sentence. But I applaud you for your willingness to explore new music beyond the pale of commercial-ism...

[@phoenixeyeris]

Me too! Monster left hand. And not just chops. I've been working thru Koln part 1, and realized his hand stretch is huge. In Emin for instance, he can stretch past the octave to the G. He can also stretch past the D octave and add that G or the F#. (not 100% on this, but I think there's a bit where he stretches all the way to the B above in Em octave!) Loves to add the 9 too with his thumb on an octave stretch. That I can handle. 😎

[@MrCokbulan]

:)

[@jazztemple2]

Surely you jest

[@tiddosardus]

He dances on his piano.

[@sanfordcisco1]

Interesting how he plays a completely different bridge. Is that an alternate Ellington bridge to this or did Keith just make this one up?

[@ardezgar]

Someone knows what is this concert?

[@rudbeckie1]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Děkuji (Y)

[@jazztemple2]

Mac Gyver 1, hawkrider88 0. :-)

[@TRACTATUS123]

Archetypal eccentric genius. On balance let's forgive him his 'dad dancing'

[@sandraeckelhofer]

FORGIVE HIM, alan wharton? you make me laugh, you pretentious nobody.

[@voliteon]

I honestly have to agree, it really is amazing. His melodies and harmonies are just beautiful. It's unfortunate about his 'dying animal' vocal noises and distracting, uncontrolled, disgusting bodily movements. But his playing is just impeccable.

[@sandraeckelhofer]

EoN604 and hawkrider88, Keith Jarrett is a god. who are you? get back to your ditch and shut up. who cares about your stupid opinion anyway?

[@hawkrider88]

Incredible music and feel. But EoN604 I agree, his "style" is somewhat distracting and I'm surprised a teacher somewhere along the way didn't try to tone it down a bit. Sort of reminds me of all the women tennis players on the pro tour who scream when they serve. I understand the feeling..but it is just a learned habit.

[@loretka66]

Hmm, what a pretender... It's not a passion, he strike a good learned pose.

[@ricksimpson3657]

err...no

[@sandraeckelhofer]

mocreia ou mocreio ignoramus.

[@secretmission7607]

No! Can't you tell the difference?!

[@QuangNguyenTran21]

no, no pretenders could have 3 encores in a single show like him.

[@robmathes2518]

No one plays with that kind of astonishing command and brilliance without having spent a lifetime in music, backed up by remarkable passion. Keith Jarrett is a strange and sometimes disturbing soul, yelling at audiences for coughing, lecturing an audience in a condescending manner when they just handed him a “Jazz Master” award, and just generally being incredibly difficult. Some of the world’s great geniuses are troubled and strange. All that said, his artistry, his playing and his music is absolutely MIRACULOUS. One of the greatest musicians and pianists who has ever walked this earth, and that point is inarguable. Study his catalog. It is staggering. R

[@taupin6]

Nice piano player but comes across as pretentious and over-exaggerated in his theatrics..
