Description
A solo concert from Keith Jarrett - recorded at Munich's Philharmonic Hall on July 16, 2016, on the last night of a European tour - finds the great improvising pianist at a peak of invention.
Creating a spontaneous suite of forms in the moment with the assurance of a master builder - interspersing touches of the blues and folksong lyricism between pieces of polyrhythmic and harmonic complexity - he delivers one of his very finest performances. An attentive and appreciative audience hangs on every note, every nuance, and is rewarded with some tender encores including a magical version of "It's A Lonesome Old Town".
There is, still, nothing else like a Keith Jarrett solo concert. "Through a series of brilliant solo performances and recordings that demonstrate his utterly spontaneous creativity," the Polar Music Prize committee noted a few years ago, "Keith Jarrett has simultaneously lifted piano improvisation as an art form to new, unimaginable heights."
Munich 2016 is released as a double album on both CD and vinyl (180g).
