Munich 2016
A solo concert from Keith Jarrett – recorded at Munich’s Philharmonie on July 16, 2016, on the last night of a European tour – finds the great improvising pianist at a peak of invention.
Creating a spontaneous suite of forms in the moment with the assurance of a master builder – interspersing touches of the blues and folksong lyricism between pieces of polyrhythmic and harmonic complexity – he delivers one of his very finest performances.
An attentive and appreciative audience hangs on every note, every nuance, and is rewarded with some tender encores including a magical version of “It’s A Lonesome Old Town”.
