Keith Jarrett - Sun Bear Concerts

You are only called for five concerts of Keith Jarrett, recorded in Japan between 5 and 18 November 1976. This box set, and 'a real gem of pianism of Keith Jarrett, definitely not one of his more' simple, it 'among the most frequently cited. Each concert has its own identity 'different, clearly defined from the first introductory note of every performance. Whenever you choose where to start the journey to the center of the music of Jarrett and 'very difficult to choose the chaos of Nagoya or notes reassuring but slightly melancholy of Sapporo? Every time I leave "bribe" from the opening notes of Sapporo, which also represents the latest of these concerts, I can not resist the introductory melody that develops in the first minutes of the concert up to the center of the piece, and it 'as if this tune had been generated by the four works that have preceded and originated from the initial sweetness of the first recorded concert in Kyoto. Listen several times after concerts and 'how to see the closing of a circle that starts at the first concert in 1973, only to pass through the Koln Concerts and run out at least in this form with concerts in Japan.

And every show seems somehow reconnect to that which preceded it, supported by a single musical thought, shiny with a hint of a clear research placed in a constant period of creativity 'brilliant Jarrett. The Jarrett's vocal participation, so 'feature most of its moments' "ecstatic" constantly accompanies the notes of discs. Constant alternation between the various sections of the concerts of melody and rhythmic riffs that sometimes angular rituffano in melody. A difficult task and certainly not to be addressed as a first listen to Jarrett, but that remains an indispensable listening to truly understand thoroughly the poetic music of Jarrett.
