Customer Reviews

A revealing look at the work of a master jazz improvisor.
This video presents a live concert in Japan from 1986 featuring Keith Jarrett on piano, with Gary Peacock (bass) and Jack DeJohnette (drums). This is a great, intimate look at one of the best trios in modern jazz. It showcases Keith's brilliant, sometimes volcanic improvisations, and both the sound and video quality are excellent. You can see in this concert how inside the music Keith is, as his body literally rises and falls, following the arc of tension and release that good jazz exemplifies. This is NOT light, cocktail piano jazz; this is what jazz should be: honest, impassioned, personal, and fiery. A feast for both the ears and eyes of jazz fans.

Pure soul.
As Keith Jarrett's biggest fan, I was delighted to find that his video opens up a whole new dimension on the man. Any Keith Jarrett fan knows how pure and ethereal his music is, but to watch him play is another world entirely.

The man oozes soul, and watching him play his piano in an almost sexual manner will give any serious fan a pleasing and enjoyable new angle to his music. VERY RECOMMENDED.

"Standards II" a Masterpiece
As I listened to each tune the thought kept coming to mind that this is the best I've ever heard this song being played. I want to thank Jarrett, Peacock and DeJohnette for making my life so much richer.
