Customer Reviews
Jazz at Its Finest
Keith Jarrett has made many trio recordings over the past few years with bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Jack DeJohnette, but on this CD, Paul Motian, who played drums with Jarrett in the 70s, adds his own signature style to the group as DeJohnette takes the night off. This is a live recording made at--you guessed it!--the Deer Head Inn in Allentown, Pennsylvania, Jarrett's birthplace. The crowd that night was in for a real treat, as is anyone who buys this CD. The only potential negative is Jarrett's humming--it doesn't bother me, but it drives some folks right up the wall. But oh, the playing, and the interplay among the three musicians! This is the jazz trio at its finest, in a live setting: what more can you want? Bass is just a bit reticent, but other than that, the recording quality is excellent.
Great Fun
Just to clear this up. Paul Motian is on drums and there is no track called flying part 1. Jarretts performance here is as close as you'll ever get to hearing Jarrett playing just for fun. A bluesy version of Basin Street Blues, that is still embued with Jarretts distinctive touch and phrasing. Bye Bye Blackird is a wonderful performance, that I have listened to over and over.
This album was supposed to be a documentary recording only, and wasn't originally planned for release, but as Jarrett says in the sleeve notes "I think that you can hear on this tape, what jazz is all about".
It is a little different from the standards trio, because its Paul Motian. However Motian played with Monk, Bill Evans and a multitude of other Jazz giants, so the standard of drumming couldn't be much higher!
Don't miss Flying p.1
There are some mistakes in reviews. I think its because some peoples reviewed album "In deer head inn" instead this (which is the only album where played Motian and not DeJohnette). I want say just one thing: if you love music do not miss this one. Flying part I is maybe the best thing which this folks find in non standards ways. Pure geniality. IMHO.
