Description

Has there ever been a night that so perfectly captured the limits of the piano as an instrument, the space between “silence and explosion”? This Montreal performance is a record of the late 1970s, the most mature period of his solo improvisation, and an important recording that further expanded the “abyss” he reached after The Köln Concert. The moment the rhythm pulses and the melody is unleashed, the entire venue becomes one breath. The aesthetic sense that makes the negative spaces into “music” is breathtaking. This is a 1979 culmination that cannot be overlooked when discussing Keith’s solo piano. Live At Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier, Place des Arts, Montréal, QC, Canada July 29th, 1979 1. Part 1 2.
