Keith Jarrett / Finland 07.14.1973

A remarkable new release has arrived that will astound enthusiasts: a recording of the July 14, 1973, performance at the Pori Jazz Festival in Finland—sourced from a broadcast tape unearthed after 47 years. While the 1973 tour included fascinating shows—such as the residency at New York’s Village Vanguard and a European tour—and Mega Disc has already released six titles covering this period, official releases have been limited to just three tracks (culled from the Lausanne show on March 20 and the Bremen show on July 12), leaving fans wanting more. This new release captures the first day of the Pori Jazz Festival performance (held on July 14 and 15) via the original local broadcast audio. Despite the age of the master tape, there is virtually no audible degradation, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable listening experience. Although the runtime is relatively short, the performance is a masterpiece of aesthetic beauty—an interplay of stillness and motion, and soaring melodies—that allows listeners to savor a top-tier performance in superb sound quality.
