Keith Jarrett (born May 8, 1945) is an
American jazz and classical music pianist and composer.
Jarrett started his career with Art Blakey, moving
on to play with Charles Lloyd and Miles Davis. Since the early 1970s he has
enjoyed a great deal of success as a group leader and a solo performer in jazz,
jazz fusion, and classical music. His improvisations draw
from the traditions of jazz and other genres, especially Western classical
music, gospel, blues, and ethnic folk music.
In 2003 Jarrett received the Polar Music Prize, the
first recipient of both the contemporary and classical musician prizes, and in
2004 he received the Léonie
Sonning Music Prize. His álbum The Köln Concert (1975) became the best-selling piano recording in history.
In 2008 he was inducted into the Down Beat
Jazz Hall of Fame in the magazine's 73rd
Annual Readers' Poll.
Jarrett
has been unable to perform since suffering a stroke in February 2018, and a
second stroke in May 2018, which left him partially paralyzed and unable to
play with his left hand.
In 1983, Keith Jarrett, who had become a jazz star in
the 1970s with solo piano albums such as Solo Concerts: Bremen and Lausanne and
The Koln Concert, headed into the studio to record standards with a topflight
trio. (Joining
him for the occasion was the bassist Gary Peacock and the drummer Jack
DeJohnette.) The fruitful session resulted in
three albums: Standards, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 and Changes, all three of which are
being reissued here as Setting Standards: New York Sessions. The trio digs
deep into the classics, reimagining them while honoring their great melodies.
“All The Things You Are” receives a reading that is by turns delicate and
hard-swinging; it’s one of the great instrumental versions of the song.
DeJohnette, who absolutely takes off at a number of points on this collection,
shows he can keep it delightfully simple on the rousing “God Bless the Child.”
The bassist in a piano trio often plays the role of unobtrusive anchor, but
Peacock can sound downright fierce here. The third album, Changes, features two cuts, both Jarrett originals: the
half-hour long exploration, “Flying,” and “Prism,” a version of which appeared
on 1974’s Personal Mountains.
I fall in love too
easily, I fall in love too fast
I fall in love too terribly hard, for love to
ever last
My heart should be well
schooled, 'cause I've been fooled in the past
And still I fall in love too
easily, I fall in love too fast
I fall in love too easily, I fall in love too fast
I fall in love too terribly hard, for love to
ever last
My heart should be well
schooled, 'cause I've been fooled in the past
And still I fall in love too
easily, I fall in love too fast
