Luminessence (Audio CD)

Customer Review

With just under 36 minutes of playing time this disc is in the catalog of Keith Jarrett probably the shortest, shorter even than the piano composition "Ritual". And just as in "ritual" Jarrett operates on "Luminessence" only as a composer, and even plays an instrument. Strings of the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Mladen Gutesha and Jan Garbarek on soprano and tenor saxophone are the musicians of the three compositions "Numinor", "Wind Song" and "Luminessence" penned by the master pianist Keith Jarrett. End April 1974 these pieces were recorded in Ludwigsburg Studio Bauer, one of the preferred studio of Jarrett in those years.
With Jan Garbarek Jarrett worked since the beginning of 1974 together in the later so-called European Quartet. What the two, hired along with bassist Palle Danielsson and drummer Jon Christensen, with only two studio albums and three tours in 1974, 1977 and 1979 with the jazz scene of the 1970s, is well known: The European Quartet of Keith Jarrett is considered one of the most innovative formations of recent jazz history. For two albums Jarrett has indeed extraordinary saxophone Garbarek connected to contemporary, neoclassical compositions.
Alone, that does not work properly. Garbarek want to sound jazzy sounding strings as strings; in combination both lose. The carpets of string instruments on and off thresholds (or simulate a swarm of wasps as the end of "Wind Song") and about the Norwegian improvised times tenderly lyrical, sometimes (the soprano) rather toxic-glaring. There are from time to time very relaxed phases with beautiful harmonies, most likely still in the last third of the title track, but overall you can me "Luminessence" as inspire most discs with neoclassical compositions by Jarrett, not really.
