I don't know anyone on this planet that touches like that. Keith is unique in his style, no one but him can play like that. We always share this video at home. He is one of our most preferred Jazz pianists. From here in Venezuela, greetings and congratulations to Keith Jarret
Yes, I agree, which is why being able to play an instrument at such a high level not only exposes one's energy, talent, discipline, and expression, but also a personal consciousness that only a gifted surreal musician can, i.e. Bill Evans, Lyle Mays and Chick Corea for example.
@@solideomusical Well, first of all, his ability to establish such a rhythmically dynamic ostinato and maintain it throughout the piece is incredible. Then he begins a simple harmonic riff that basically just oscillates between the tonic and dominant. Then he begins the melodic invention, at first diatonic - exploring the whole scale - then venturing into borrowed harmony, and then finally into a full use of chromaticism. Around the middle of the piece, his left hand and right hand completely diverge, as though two different pianists were playing together. That little harmonic refrain from the beginning returns periodically throughout the piece, as if to give the listener something to grab on to. And under all of this, that ostinato never wavers. Then, as if that wasn't enough, he brings the train into the station (so to speak) with a wonderful decrescendo of tempo, rhythm and harmony, bringing it all to a perfectly satisfying conclusion. To think that this is all improvised, on the spot, is simply jaw-dropping to a classically trained musician like me. I don't particularly like jazz music and I certainly don't listen to it regularly. But some performers rise so high in their accomplishment that even those who don't follow that field can recognize and appreciate it. I place Keith Jarrett in that group, along with people like Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, Yo-Yo Ma, and perhaps Martha Argerich.
I met Keith Jarret at Slug's in New York in 66. He was playing with Charles Lloyd, who seemed he just let him play all he wanted. In the middle of his last improvisation, he started playing directly the piano strings in a very well related form. I was very much into that myself and into John Cage's music. So, at the end, I went to talk with him, recognizing his excellent playing. He was very kind, and we talked for a while on all that. Recently, I'd met David Tudor, Cage's piano interpreter and also very important avantgarde composer. He also had a very good humoristic attitude, and we considered some other posibilities of recuperating classical music. Great people. Later I heard some of Keith Jarret's recordings, and confirmed my consideration on his great "playing", that I recognize are more emissions from profound personal humanity related to all humans, some as his audience, others far away in space and time. That is, human complex realities in eternal space-time. A great benefactor of humanity, by dedicating all his life to that divine manifestation. Luis Urías, from Mexico. With this wonderful presence and his very vivid presence. A huge embrace to him.
To be able to play like this you have to be insane. Not really crazy but your brain has to function in a hole other level. When he plays he's completely tuned to the music, he block everything else around him ; It's possible that he doesn't even realize he's doing it.
@@slowlynow9Yeah immersion and practice that gets your brain to a different level. You can have the chops but if you dont turn off the inhibitions and stuff then it’s kind of all for nothing.
Yeah. What’s up with that? Oscar Peterson, too. It’s like God was getting threatened by how brilliant these guys were and said, “Oh really? You think you good, huh? Watch this!”
You can’t truly appreciate great artists or talented doctors and scientists, writers, amazing architects, etc, without believing there is a God -that’s completely ignorant. Those special gifts aren’t a spontaneous coincidence. Besides, what would be the point of it all? Our short time on this earth is merely a test and some people pass while most fail. Keith Jarrett chose to harness that divine inspiration within and use his gift to the fullest to bring people all over the world together and put aside their differences to enjoy his music. I’d say it’s a good bet he passed the test!
@@Sahara-ms6xbI think what’s ignorant is to think that such a skill is a gift from God and not the result hard work throughout the years. The discipline it takes to get to this level is no gift from good. “If only God had blessed me with the gift of playing music, I’d be a musician”. That’s a lie.
@@iEmmV uh, nope. Wrong! Very wrong! I’ve been playing over 40 years and still can’t play like this guy. I even studied with people at the NY Philharmonic Orchestra and Juilliard. What’s REALLY ignorant is ignoring God, his gifts, and inspiration. Yes, hard work is required to develop those gifts, but one cannot develop what God hasn’t bestowed in the first place.
A musical and technical tour de force. I especially love when he splits into two Keith Jarretts at 2:46 and his left and right hands play independently from each other. Remarkable.
When this guy plays, despite whatever musical education background, experience and title this guy has he plays it from the heart, just like a child, the music shows no boundaries in jazz/pop/ whatever genre you might call it. This is the art of Keith Jarrett.
The absolute rawest form of self-expression human-kind has ever hoped to witness. I hesitate to say hes fully conscious. Eye closed, half convulsing. This in unparalleled. The absolute most beautiful thing ill ever witness. I can only hope to some day be able to reproduce a fraction of this passion, skill and direct connection from soul to sense perception. I'm not religious but if there is a God, bless us all with another one of these.
man i used to play drums. to a regular guy’s ear, this is absolutely incredible to me, and i can’t imagine how incredible this sounds for those who actually play the piano!!
Torticollis is a problem involving the muscles of the neck that causes the head to tilt down. The term comes from two Latin words: tortus, which means twisted, and collum, which means neck. Sometimes it's called “wryneck.” 5:50 [WebMD]
Ι love Keith Jarrett's solo piano work. I find it much more exciting than the music he makes when playing with others. It is almost like listening to a different pianist.
I can watch this a million times and not get bored. I amazed at what this guys brain is processing. Rhythm harmony phrases cadence nuance. He makes it look so easy too.
genius without a doubt. i listen to this and many of his songs everyday multiple times, constantly singing and humming his melodies like a mantra. Keith is tapped in.
...he's the one musician I never want to hear play with anyone else. Years ago, I had read critiques of his performances as "practicing on stage" ...and I always thought, if he's practicing, then I can listen to him practice for however long it takes for him to finish practicing.
Love this one! Have had pianolessons for many years.I was over 40 and not very dedicated. Dind,t practise enough(allso because of neighbours)and lazziness. And lack of talent. When I listen to this I can,t believe it. It,s like there are three men playing the piano! This was the hardest thing I ever had to learn. Like I said,it must come down to talent and dedication. Have never heard anyone play like this before. I love his music!
You said it, Brian. He is remarkable. How DO those fingers fly over those without one sorry note. I'm so happy he left the world with his brilliant music. He sits right up there with the GREAT MUSICIANS ever. 👍
This man is a genius, there's no word to explain how he can play this ... It exceeds the understanding...He's beyond the laws of music, he reached the summit of his art, it is impossible to go farther !!! I am bewildered and I cry of joy....
I've read some assnine comments, but this takes the cake. I just saw him in Los Angeles and it was sublime, the best musical experience for me to date. There is no separation between Keith Jarrett and genius. His musical vocabulary is astounding-absolutely no equal.
I'm seeing it with my own eyes, but I swear that left-hand ostinato is physically impossible. It's heartbreaking that he no longer has the use of his left hand.
I definitely feel you on that my friend. He's given us so much..... I'm going to do an article response on my channel this week about his retirement and gary peacocks transition.
I've listened to Keith Jarrett for decades now, and his music still gives me some of my greatest joys, along with my family, foreign travel, and espresso ... but KJ ranks up there with them!
For anyone who is not a pianist it might be difficult to understand exactly just how utterly inhumanely difficult it is to do a performance like this. If someone were to practice exactly this musical material for hours and hours, it's possible, but improvising polyrhythmically two or three melodical lines this way, not dropping the left hand ostinato figure's distinction eve once requires the brain of an alien.
He is definitely one of the best of best pianists I have ever watched. I don’t like comparisons but Keith Jarrett is incredible on his instrument even with his small hands compared to others. He is original and passionate and most important of all he is a great improviser. That improvisation level is really tough to reach even for magnificent pianists. Respect and love his art. Thank You Keith Jarrett for representing the bridge between Jazz and Classical music. This combination has always affected me deeply. This is art.
This video was posted 18 years ago and how have we been talking about anything else since? Jeez how did this man come along at a time when there was both audio and video recording? Unbelievable
if you have learned this piece and are playing it up to his tempo, your arms start to burn at about 3 to 4 minutes, then relaxation techniques become so critical or you just can't finish the piece. its soooo cool to play, a MUST learn for ALL
Keith Jarrett is one of my favorite jazz pianists. If you want to hear absolutely beautiful piano playing, listen to his album The Melody at Night, With You. His mannerisms, although organic and sincere, are a bit much visually, sometimes, but listen to the MUSIC :)
It could also mean that the century was filled with a bunch of cotton-headed ninnymuggins who just suck... and then an average player comes along and looks great 🤪
His vocalese always reminded me of Phoebe from Friends tv show when ross plays playing the bagpipes cough cough. And I still have about ten of his albums
Got to see Keith J live at the Bijou Cafe in downtown Philadelphia back in the day. My seats were about eight feet from it. It was like witnessing a completely unbelievable phenomena of creation. Mind blowing literally. If you do not already have the Koln Concert recording, you need to get it and put is on on a quiet saturday morning. The guy is simply an immense musical talent and his music if just beautiful in my opinion. He has taste as well. Love his work, have for decades.
How long before they deprive of this one, an encore? Most of his concerts have disappeared from TH-cam. I will just stick the cds in dvd slide, i own all of them, even the more obscure ones like Munchen. They issued all of the concerts on cd several years ago and want people to buy them. Can't argue against that. It is just nice to see them here, where people who don't know Keith's music can hear Lausanne, Bremen, Koln, Munchen, Bregenz, to name the earliest. Then they will understand what all the fuss was about.
One of the greatest musicians to ever walk this earth. We are all witnesses…..
He's not a musician. He dresses entirely in music. He's totally musical! 2:22
The musical garment is enough to cover the entire body! 3:55
I am glad he visited our planet for this concert!
Definitely tapping into the mothership here
this is the most adequate commentary to this concert
I have a ticket for Venus!
This is really sooooooo incredible. . . .
GREAT comment mate ! Made my day ! ! !
His piano playing makes the world a better place
His piano playing better makes the place a world
And thanks to his recordings and videos, it will continue to make the world a better place for everyone in it, for all time.
Absolutely!! It's not piano anymore. It's painting. Surfing.

It's almost impossible to describe - from a musical standpoint - how utterly ingenious his playing is. He is in a class all by himself.
What about it stands out to you?

Never fails to convince me the world is a much better place.
well put
I wish there was some way I could let him know how much joy his music gives me.
I feel you 🫡🫡
This is some of the happiest music I've ever heard
This is unbelievable playing from perhaps the greatest jazz improvisational pianist in the world.
It brings a tear to my eye even though it is not a sad piece.This music is so full of JOY!
Exactly! You should listen to a wonderful Portuguese pianist and composer called António Pinha Vargas - you'll love it too.
It gets to the heart quick
the ability by itself is awestriking and anyone who denies it has never had the joy of being good at an instrument
Keith Jarrett is not one of the greatest musician of all times, he is an instrument of Music to manifest itself to human being

Completest mastery of an instrument, beautifully filmed here: a unique performance that literally took off!
This will never get old
...he's the one musician I never want to hear play with anyone else.
Years ago, I had read critiques of his performances as "practicing on stage" ...and I always thought, if he's practicing, then I can listen to him practice for however long it takes for him to finish practicing.
seriously, each time i listen to KJ's playing, i allways get thrilled, amazed, fascinated, truly a master with his fingers
Keith achieved the highest level of musicality in my eyes, and that is, he is wholly himself while playing. No one else could play like Keith.
No one else can play melodies in different octaves sooo well! Look how "trained" his hands are! Incredible...
This is really sooooooo incredible. . . .
I've never seen anything like this before!
