Although the master himself will not insure tired, the live recordings with the trend to shorter pieces that have arisen after his illness on fatigue syndrome and the recovery thereof, are the true pearls of its game art, I can - although the music is great, no question, and again actually beads are heard - earlier recordings with the longer pieces abgewinnen more. The big marketing hype of ECM to "Rio" and Jarrett's own statement that this disc its best "long" is, are ultimately not entirely justified, even if "Rio" a thoroughly recommended CD's and Jarrett fans course Required to purchase. Better perhaps than the previous album "Paris London Testament" and perhaps even better than "Radiance", enough "Rio" but not nearly to the classics of the 1970s to the 1990s approach. 15 pieces of different quality can be heard; The sound here is 1a! The audience in Rio is unfortunately not as disciplined as about Japanese audience, because the "Bravo!" - Shouts and the onset of thunderous applause before even finish the pieces completely, impair a little the listening experience. It can be found extraordinarily mature, less improvised than composed acting pieces that already right "songs" are actually, to "Rio" - as Part 7 with its beautiful closing theme in approaches Part 9, certainly the very moving parts 13 and 15 . Too are known, however, the blues and other Blue Note variations that Jarrett plays Although usual routine and groovy, but nothing really surprises include (eg the parts 5, 11 and 14). Law meaningless numbers are also included on "Rio", about the parts 4 and 12. These are among the more experimental, sometimes wildly expressive, only partly convincing numbers as usual the opener or Part 10. A remarkable piece is Part 3, on whose bluesy-jazzy keynote interesting variations are played. Overall, a nice mix of good music Jarrett, but no revelation!
