Round Midnight can bring tears to one’s eyes at its great beauty. This rendition is right up there with Wes Montgomery, Bill Evans and, of course, the incomparable Monk himself.
Tokio 1987. Un concerto passato alla storia. Interpretazione unica ed inarrivabile. Questo pianista è un vero portento di madre natura. Le variazioni del tema di Thelonious sono geniali e quello che ci costruisce intorno supera il motivo. Fantastico.
Keith has always been a master. He plays as though he is making love to his instrument. There is a majestic virtuosity that follows his every note and chord choice. Thank you so much for adding to my exploration of this masterpiece.
Keith Jarrett is an American pianist and composer. He is considered one of the most important jazz pianists, renowned for his elaborate solo improvisations. As well as recording under his own name, he has recorded a number of albums as the Keith Jarrett Trio. 6:09 [The Vogue Theatre Indianapolis]
Amazing. It's thrilling how he transforms the song into something completely new, but honors the original spirit of the song. You can't do this with a Van Gogh or a Da Vinci!
That touch..!! Choruses are melodic,lyrical, such even 16th note runs (somebody played a LOT of Bach)-the polar opposite of Monk's stabs and angular twists- neither is better than the other- the winner is the composition.
Round Midnight is Thelonious Monk's most famous composition. Written in the key of Eb Minor, the 6 flats in the key signature take some getting used to but the tune contains lots of interesting chord changes and harmonic movements. 6:43 [PianoGroove]
“Round Midnight” is Thelonious Monk’s best-known jazz composition and carries the grand distinction of being the most-recorded jazz standard written by any jazz musician. 3:46 [Jazz Standards]
Incredible music and what a sound he has - as if he had studied Beethoven :). This take has everything from swing to sound to creativeness - the end oh man! And he missed no single note. We are very lucky to have experienced this genius. Jarrett at his best in one of his best concerts ever.
Everything Jarrett graces turns to MAGIC. Both Jarrett's renditions of the american songbook, solo or American Trio (with Peacock, Dejohnette) and raw musicianship are musically advanced to that of any other musicians recordings in existence. I yearn the day, in my lifetime, for the emergence of another STAND-ALONE ELITIST MUSICIAN.
@@BernieHollandMusic They throw arbitrary comments like yours all the time. And your motion clearly demonstrates your unworthiness as both a musician and music consumer. Back to the 9 to 5 toil for the conservatives brat typecasts?!
The piano is caressed, it gains momentum... suddenly is there, like a Monk from a conservatory. Yes, because it has feelings and force such as Monk would do it, but in he's own terms. I like the version of Round Midnight played in the album Whisper Not, together with Peacock & DeJohnette!
As much as I love Keith's interpretation here, I have to say Barry Harris's interpretation in his Japan tour is even more my favorite. I've been jumping this to the other... I love them both, but Harris's playful playing makes more sense to me. Even there music ain't a competition.
Keith hangs suspended fourths and ninths giving the whole thing another layer. Superb arpeggios bounced between a railing theme. The Cm 7 drops into place after a flurry of... never mind just enjoy.
Is is fantastic that this video has 192,631 views? Or sad that it has ONLY 192,631 views? I have to go with the latter, considering that Michel Petrucciani's has over 4 million listens. Some people are not aware of the fact that some of Jarrett's very best music is NOT on CD, but only on VHS/DVD. Very regrettable.
In an age where most of my contemporaries turn up or get wasted round midnight, here is a song that envisions lively conversation, breathing warm night air, walking downtown w a sport coat cast over shoulder, quiet streets where cars whisper and don’t yell, visiting friends and growing with them in experiencing life not just catching up, and a thoughtful hour on a park bench wondering if this is what you want and parting with dreams as a kid on that old tire swing outside the big city
And he could never achieve that superb improvisational display unless he had very extensive classical training or did Hanon and scales countless times.
To Tomasz Rafalski: I'm right there with you.... This rendition is not what I was expecting either. Dare I say it?....Kinda like a "Stouffer's" lasagna instead of an old family recipe
Garrett criticizing Jarrett!? This is the best version of this song ever, and yes, I have heard many, many Master Monk versions of course. "Stouffer's lasagna"? Was that meant as a compliment, somehow?
Looking at the name Garrett Ramirez it does not bring to mind some one with a great old family recipe for lasagna. BTW my mom's maiden name was Pistiglioni
Questo 'classico' del jazz esguito da Jarrett _ma che fa parte del 'suo stile' di 30 anni fa_ si ascolta emotivamente nella scia dell'epoca in cui fu 'interpretato',ma se lo rifacesse oggi,30 anni dopo,siamo sicuri del 'medesimo stile interpretativo' e della 'medesima cifra intepretativa' del Jarrett odierno?
What??? right up there with Bill Evans and Wes Montgomery and monk??? No actually far surpasses all these players. No one surpasses Keith Jarrett , no one
Not really. The label of the original Blue Note 78 rpm record by Monk, from 1947, clearly shows the title "" Round About Midnight", as can be seen on a google images search. Further, the backcover of Monk's "Genius of Modern Music" album, which contains his first recordings also indicates "Round About Midnight".
You are correct, Marcello. Once the lyrics were added, it became known as "Round Midnight", but this was not the original title. The most significant application of the title "'Round Midnight" is the fine film by Bertrand Tavernier of the same name. As a jazz musician, I must agree with most of my colleagues in saying that it is the best job of telling the jazz story on film.
+Tempus Fugit & its 2 late Are you kidding? This is representative of the best kind of playing he's capable of creating, a true master of completely improvising anything thrown at him.
kwixotic, I kinda get it... I love Jarrett as much as it's possible and of course I'm crying like a baby now, but I think that the vibe was a little bit different from what I expected to feel, I mean, the set of emotions I felt didn't really fit into the Monk's form, shit, english is hard
yes, absolutely magical passage. He departs from original harmony and creates a sort of interlude during the B section. And check the melodic line from 5:15 - 5:25. Keith Jarrett is from another dimension.
The way Keith Jarrett immerses himself in his music is ledgendary in of itself!!!
Round Midnight can bring tears to one’s eyes at its great beauty. This rendition is right up there with Wes Montgomery, Bill Evans and, of course, the incomparable Monk himself.
Corea
Then, I'll add Petrucciani.
I agree.
Pure bliss. I love Keith Jarrett and Bill Evans. The sensitivity is beyond ...
Just awesome....forget about it...Jarrett is a gem on planet earth...
Outstanding!
Splendid
WE LOVE KEITH JARRETT.

Todo el talento, toda la Maestría, todo lo que es imposible describir ...todo eso y mucho más, todo en una sola persona: KEITH JARRETT!!

His tasteful rendering of the kinds of voicings he comes up with is nothing less than awesome!
music for soul

What a breathtaking ending to a wonderful interpretation of Round Midnight. Exquisite

"It begins to tell,
'round midnight, midnight."

Top Notch!
Amazingly soul-soothing work and outstandingly played by him !!!

Substitute the name Bill Evans for Jarrett and maybe your comment will make some sense. . . . .

Tried Michel Petrucciani?
@@p1anosteve amazing petrucciani´s version, but is a differente concept, both jarret and petrucianni are masters of piano
My favourite is Bill Evans
I think he calls it a Round About because he absolutely kicked the shit out of that song.
Genial Keith...¡¡¡
SUPER VERSION - Inspirante au Max !!
Merci

simply beautiful !

这结尾的进行太精彩了.....连续的四度下行配合张力恰到好处的和声，还有最后的降Em和弦分解，听的紧闭眼睛皱起眉头才能保持理智。这他妈就是神....

19 thumbs down? Guys, if you believe you've heard some wrong notes, believe me - these notes are correct 😁
Simply Wonderful by Alfredo
Wish y'all the best
And good night
And he could never achieve that superb improvisational display unless he had very extensive classical training or did Hanon and scales countless times.
Tobea!!!
Each version has value. How can you not likes Monks? Or even Bud Powells veersion?
How to (love) a piano. Monks creation w Cooty Williams was unique, complex and lyrical
The End is brillant

After hearing Mr. Jarrett's version, I have to listen to Thelonious
What is that other tune Keith plays that *sounds very similar?* I think it's on the "Death & The Flower" or the "Fort Yawuh" album?
Here Keith have all the Bach and Handel he played
He is now a slice of heaven RIP dear
seriously, RIP ????? YOU MUST ERASE YOUR comment.
☺️❣️💙
Genial
Odlicno
Simply, the best.
My absolute favorite version of this song. Carmen McRae's is second. Monk -- no diss intended -- is third.
Funny, I came here to say the same thing. What are the chances huh
i had not heard this before today, when i saw it in my search results i was rightly very excited.
What??? right up there with Bill Evans and Wes Montgomery and monk??? No actually far surpasses all these players. No one surpasses Keith Jarrett , no one
the name of this music is Round Midnight, without "about". Round About Midnight is the name of an album by Miles Davis. :)

Question: Did Monk lift this from Harlem Nocturne? - I can't tell the difference in places.
🍎🐾😔🍇
i don't think he gets under the skin of it here
Or possibly you don't understand what he's doing.
or maybe he isn't playing as good as he could have

@@johnp8122 There is nothing to "understand" other than the fact that Chris Horton made a perfectly reasonable comment.

Как холодно играет Кит Джаретт это великое произведение , мне ближе интерпретация Била Эванса

What a load of bollocks - give me Bill Evans any day !
I still prefer Bill Evans version...
yes Bill Evans version was fantastic
Bill Evans doesn’t swing.
Comparison is the thief of joy. They all have a different, and brilliant approach.
Another upload where the levels SUCK. WTF can't people adjust the levels appropriately when they upload music stuff. Ridiculous.
You’re welcome
Michel Petrucciani sounds much better
Too many notes suck.
I am not sure all that movementa adds to his performance. I found it distracting.
Stephanie Guilmenot when you are a jazz master like Jarrett, you are afforded some artistic license to jam out how you want
Close your eyes
