by Joshua Weiner
Pianist Keith Jarrett is the only artist with his own subheading on the main menu of ECM Records' new US website. That attests to his fruitful association, beginning in 1971 and continuing to the present day, with the independent German label known for its dedication to artistic freedom and beautiful sound. Though a series of strokes has sadly silenced Jarrett since 2018, ECM continues to enrich his discography with both new releases (a series of 2016 European concert recordings, including ...

by Mario Calvitti
Puntuale, con una cadenza all'incirca annuale, la ECM pubblica un nuovo inedito di Keith Jarrett, estraendo dai propri archivi la registrazione di un concerto tenuto dal pianista a Vienna nel corso del suo ultimo tour europeo del 2016.

Per gli appassionati, una ...

by Jack Kenny
The evening began with extraordinary anticipation as the Golden Hall filled to capacity, creating an atmosphere of reverent expectation for what many in the audience understood would be a rare opportunity to hear one of jazz's most celebrated improvisers in an optimal acoustic environment. However, the concert's opening moments quickly revealed the dynamics that often characterize Keith Jarrett's live performances, as the pianist's demands took center stage in a dramatic standoff with audience behavior. Upon entering the stage ...

by Mike Jurkovic
What accolade has not been heaped upon the eighty-year-old Keith Jarrett and the music he has bestowed upon the world? So, without embarrassing and overbearing hyperbole, New Vienna is another of those very special recordings Jarrett sculpts from silence with an integral artistry and frequency that, some fifty-odd years after he began this solo journey, still stuns greater minds. Recorded live in July of 2016 at Austria's storied Musikverein (home of the Vienna Philharmonic and the main stage ...

by Alberto Bazzurro
Disco come sempre di gran classe, questo, inciso il 16 settembre 1992 al Deer Head Inn di Delaware Water Gap, Pennsylvania, con Paul Motian in luogo del “canonico" Jack DeJohnette, ma con immutate le stimmate del già celeberrimo (nonché celebratissimo) standard trio di un Keith Jarrett all'epoca quarantasettenne e nel pieno della sua maturità tecnico-espressiva. Il materiale, che va a integrare quanto già edito ormai quasi trentun anni fa in At the Deer Head Inn (il sottotitolo ...
