Keith Jarrett: A Multitude of Angels

Read "A Multitude of Angels" reviewed by Karl Ackermann


In the last solo concert tour of the first half of Keith Jarrett's career, the preeminent pianist of our time had, himself, recorded the performances across four Italian locations, on his digital audio tape machine. These would be the final public performances Jarrett would give for a number of years as he worked through chronic fatigue syndrome. On a concert timeline, A Multitude of Angels follows the 1995 performances captured on La Scala (ECM, 1997) but with an unexplained twenty-year ...

"A Multitude of Angels" di Keith Jarrett Secondo Stefano Battaglia

Read ""A Multitude of Angels" di Keith Jarrett Secondo Stefano Battaglia" reviewed by Stefano Battaglia


La ECM ha appena pubblicato A Moltitude of Angels, un cofanetto di quattro dischi che documentano altrettante staordinarie performance solistiche di Keith Jarrett registrate in Italia nel 1996. Ne abbiamo approfittato per chiedere ad uno dei principali pianisti italiani, Stefano Battaglia, una riflessione su questo ambizioso progetto discografico. Quello che Battaglia ci ha inviato, è molto di più. Unendo la passione di fan di Jarrett con l'acume tecnico di straordinario improvvisatore, Battaglia (che a sua volta pubblicherà un ...

Keith Jarrett at Carnegie Hall

Read "Keith Jarrett at Carnegie Hall" reviewed by Tyran Grillo


Keith Jarrett Carnegie Hall New York, NY February 9, 2016 Watching fans eagerly photographing a player-less piano, as if in hopes of visualizing forces only Keith Jarrett can translate at the keyboard, I couldn't help wondering what it was all for. Neither could he. Anticipations were nevertheless high as the audience prepared for a night of fully improvised music by that format's most widely heard practitioner. Jarrett took to the stage ...

Keith Jarrett Solo Piano al Teatro dell'Opera di Firenze

Read "Keith Jarrett Solo Piano al Teatro dell'Opera di Firenze" reviewed by Neri Pollastri


Teatro dell'Opera Firenze 23.11.2015 Un concerto di Keith Jarrett è sempre un evento, visti la storia e il valore dell'artista e vista anche la leggenda in chiaroscuro del personaggio, noto anche per essere lunatico e iracondo, bisognoso di concentrazione e pronto a lasciare i concerti a metà nel caso di rumori del pubblico. Se poi Jarrett si presenta in piano solo--il genere di performance per la quale è più universalmente noto per ...

Keith Jarrett At The National Concert Hall, Dublin

Read "Keith Jarrett At The National Concert Hall, Dublin" reviewed by Ian Patterson


Keith Jarrett National Concert Hall Dublin, Ireland November 17, 2015 Following a solo performance in Dublin's National Concert Hall in 1982, Keith Jarrett's Irish fans would have to wait thirty one years for his return--another solo gig, in early 2013. Therefore, the news that Dublin was on Jarrett's short European tour 2015 was met with surprise and delight in equal measure in the Irish capital. Inevitably enough, tickets sold out in the blink of an ...

Keith Jarrett: Creation

Read "Creation" reviewed by Mario Calvitti


Sono passati 40 anni da quel concerto a Colonia che ha rivelato al mondo, grazie a un successo di vendite travolgente e decisamente inusuale per un disco di jazz, la pratica del concerto solistico completamente improvvisato che il pianista Keith Jarrett portava avanti già da un paio di anni, e che avrebbe continuato quasi ininterrottamente (tranne una pausa di alcuni anni dovuta alla sindrome di affaticamento cronico di cui Jarrett ha sofferto) fino ad oggi attraverso alcune centinaia di concerti ...

Keith Jarrett: Keith Jarrett: Creation

Read "Keith Jarrett: Creation" reviewed by Karl Ackermann


With the simultaneous release of his latest classical album Barber/ Bartók /Jarrett, the forty-plus year ECM mainstay, Keith Jarrett issues an unusually conceived solo piano compilation, Creation. During his first twenty years of solo releases on Manfred Eicher's iconic label--beginning with Facing You (1971)--Jarrett's solo output had been prodigious and has secured his place as the best and most creative pianist/composer of the age. While the releases kept coming, health problems in the 90s curtailed his output of live solo ...
