Keith Jarrett / Brazil 10.29.2012

Captured during a historic performance in Brazil in 2012, this album documents Keith Jarrett’s improvisational art at its most profound level. In the format of a solo piano concert, it’s a masterpiece that transcends mere maturity, marking a pinnacle of achievement. Must-listens tracks include Antonio Carlos Jobim’s famous “One Note Samba” and the standard “Where Are You,” also known from Sinatra and Julie London. A tense sequence of sounds dominates the space, eventually intertwining with lyrical melodies and rhythmic patterns. Lyricism and structure merge at a high level, creating an organic flow reminiscent of a suite. The coexistence of groove imbued with the atmosphere of South America and Jarrett’s characteristic, almost prayer-like introspection is breathtaking! 1.Part 1 2.Part 2 3.Part 3 4.One Note Samba 5.Where Are You 6.Summertime 7.Encore 2 8.Encore 3 9.Somewhere Over The Rainbow
