So it might have been: A man on a wing, on a late evening somewhere in America in a small private studio. All it took to make a few beautiful melodies from the Great American Songbook, a declaration of love to the beloved. Technology (in both senses) was not used in this case. The head should be turned off while listening, it is to be addressed much more the heart. And this succeeds Keith Jarrett in perfection. The melodies played expressively, actually say almost everything. Of course, Keith Jarrett is known as a great improviser, he has to face this with this publication not only to prove. So one is startled almost anything if he ("I Got It Bad And That Is not Good" by Duke Ellington) for brief moments his be-bop inspired the second piece, which is perhaps meant as a description of its former state after a power-sapping illness Variations on the theme conjures up after it has been placed before the listener with a delicate interpretation of a piece of the famous musical "Porgy and Bess" a pleasant veil over the mind. The other pieces move continuously in ballad tempo, alongside love songs by famous American Broadway composer still caress two arranged by the performer traditionals and one of his "Meditations" the sense of the connoisseur. A reflection on the Easy, an excellent example of the "less-is-more", represents this CD. One wishes, you would have a wing, some nice melodies and a mistress. And the rest geschähe then as if by magic.
