Keith Jarrett: The Old Country: More from the Deer Head Inn
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 di questo secondo volume parla non a caso di More from the Deer Head Inn), alterna come sempre morbide ballad a episodi ben più tirati (ma sempre con quell'inconfondibile aplomb), abbracciando Cole Porter (due temi), Gershwin Brothers, Monk, Nat Adderley (la titletrack), oltre all'amatissimo (da Jarrett e ancor più dal suo mentore Bill Evans) "Someday My Prince Will Come," e tutto marcia per la direttrice, quasi col pilota automatico, costituendo sempre un gran bel sentire.

A volerne indicare i potenziali vertici, opteremmo per l'iniziale "Everything I Love," "Straight No Chaser," "All Of You," il già menzionato "Someday My Prince Will Come" e "Golden Earrings," pur sempre all'interno di un "serbatoio" di estrema omogeneità, in cui magari non andremo a scovare grandi sorprese, ma sempre un jazz "di repertorio" assolutamente esemplare. Anche per luminosità, impeccabilità poetica-espressiva e pura bellezza.

Track Listing

Everything I Love; I Fall in Love Too Easily; Straight No Chaser; All of You; Someday My Prince Will Come; The Old Country; Golden Earrings; How Long Has This Been Going On.
