Customer Review

In the for Keith Jarrett otherwise Concert poor 1994 - there are from this year at all six concerts Jarrett recorded, to a recording of Mozart works with the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra - delivered the standards trio of Master with Gary Peacock on bass and Jack DeJohnette on drums with the three fully recorded concert evenings in New York jazz club "At The Blue Note" and the resulting therefrom 6-CD box "The Complete Recordings" their magnum opus from. Preserved are over seven hours finest trio jazz of all shades, from the gently-worn soulful ballad (about "How Long Has This Been Going On?" Or "Do not Ever Leave Me" and many more) on-groovy bluesy numbers (eg "Now's The Time") and brisk, bop-like titles (such as "Oleo") to classic quavers Trio Jazz (for example, "If I Were A Bell"). The cool atmosphere in the comparatively small club is doing the music extremely well.
Fabled are often the additions advised which brings Jarrett classic standards almost imperceptibly into new spheres, such as the "muezzin" said extension part of "You Do not Know What Love Is" or the continuation of "I Fall In Love Too Easily" ("The Fire Within"). The pure Jarrett compositions like "Partners", "Bop-Be" or the very (something to) long, vamp-like "Desert Sun" seamlessly and perfectly into the series of standards from the 1930s, 1940s or 1950s that the trio interpreted so fabulous. "Autumn Leaves" is added to a gigantic 26-minute version, with a few sagging passages, but many very strong, enormously powerful staged phases.
It is noteworthy that the music of the three concert evenings more mature, bolder, more deeply affects succession. Sure, the three jazz musicians have already in- great confidence and an immense feeling for each other. Nevertheless, it is meant to hear that especially on the last concert day all this once a track is safe - at the same time greater daring, as in the solos. That are played by the total of 38 tracks, only three titles twice, is a testimony of the extensive repertoire of the trio, and at the same time an example for the development of the style of interpretation from the first to third concert evening. What does not apply to any recording of the trio (and often concealed by the mix was): Gary Peacock on bass at the time was in good shape!
Of course there is such a long way and it could be even a little more redundant passages, less enthralling pieces or coated acting lines, nonetheless, is "At The Blue Note - The Complete Recordings" fall very convincing as a collective work and in addition to also six CDs comprehensive Box "Sun Bear Concerts" with solo piano recordings Jarrett's six concerts in November 1976 in Japan the essence of the oeuvre of this masterful pianist.
