Keith Jarrett never ceases to amaze, and amaze he does on the two-disc CARNEGIE HALL CONCERT. He's known for solo piano concerts of completely improvised music that set a high standard for invention, elegance, and sheer compositional ingenuity, but it's almost incomprehensible that Jarrett is able not only to sustain these qualities, but to push them toward greater heights on each outing. The pieces on CARNEGIE HALL CONCERT are markedly different from Jarrett's previous work: dense, internal, and noticeably compressed, yet without being shorn of the artist's trademark sense of lyricism, classical nuance, or bluesy groove. Jarrett continues to grow as a master of his instrument and the world of musical ideas, and the results are spectacular to behold.
Personnel: Keith Jarrett (piano).
Rolling Stone (p.74) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Jarrett hits true transcendence in 'The Good America,' the first encore and a spontaneous anthem without words for a nation choking on argument."

Carnegie Hall Concert Music Review Average Rating: (3.3 out of 5 stars)   Superb
His music lets you drift away. Everytime you play this record you hear different things. Loud applauding is quite annoying.

 Great music, unlistenable CD
Keith Jarrett's solo piano recordings are events. I wish I would have been present at this concert. Listening to the CD is a pain. Audience clapping has been recorded at higher volume than the music. And it goes on and on and on, you get the picture. Even Pearl Jam knows how to record live concerts. So did Jarret and Eicher in the past but not here. As if Jarrett was feeling nervous, unsure and needed to put out all this clapping as a confirmation that people still like him. Well, we do like him but I can not listen to this CD. I don't want to keep the remote in hand to be able to skip all the mindless clapping (not mindless in concert but mindless when you listen to at home). So sad. Stick to Radiance, on CD or even better on DVD, for a recent Jarrett solo piano.

This 2 CD set is a must have for all Keith Jarrett fans. This captures his solo performances at his very best.

Overrated Disc
First of all, not sure what the fuzz about the loud clapping, its not like the audience was clapping during his solos. If you don't want to listen to the claps, hit the FF Button!!
This concert is way too overrated, no memorable melodies, except for a few, the jiving and swinging of Part VII, and a few of the encores are worth listening.
This concert was a major disappointment for a old school Jarrett fan like myself

Carnegie Hall Concert
 $21.29  
Jarrett's wide range of influences is threaded throughout--strains of classical, jazz, pop, and world music are identifiable here and there. As with all his improvised work, there is a great feeling of exhilaration for the listener in discovering--along with his concert audience--where Jarrett will go next. In fact, RADIANCE feels even more open-ended than previous efforts in that it relies less on recurring themes and more on small bits of musical connective tissue, which lead the playing in ever-shifting directions. Yet Jarrett's skill and innate sense of balance and pacing are such that the music rarely feels disjointed, making RADIANCE a rich, thoroughly engaging listening.
Though pianist Keith Jarrett has dabbled in many styles and genres over the years, he is most renowned, and deservedly so, for his solo piano performances. Live albums like THE KOLN CONCERT ...
| | Miles Davis Cellar Door Sessions 1970 CDs (2005) Remastered; Box Set; Special Edition
Carnegie Hall Concert
$87.89 
Contains previously unreleased material. Some of the recordings on the CELLAR DOOR SESSIONS were originally released in edited form on the 1971 double-LP LIVE EVIL.
There is an entire universe contained in this box. Sumptuously packaged and scrupulously annotated, CELLAR DOOR SESSIONS 1970 is a six-disc set that documents Miles Davis's extended residency at the Washington, D.C., club. Davis is backed by a group of genius musicians: keyboardist Keith Jarrett, drummer Jack DeJohnette, bassist Michael Henderson, saxophonist Gary Bartz, percussionist Airto Moreira and guitarist John McLaughlin (who appears only on the last two discs). Together they pioneered an ecstatic fusion of jazz, rock, funk, and abstract sound-painting that established the blueprint for the future of progressive music.
Each disc contains a different live set, and while songs are often repeated across the set lists, no two tracks sound the same. The players improvise at a fever-pitch, pushing themselves to endless invention, and the ensemble's interplay--expressionistic, protean, and fierce--is near telepathic. The influence of rock artists like Sly Stone and Jimi Hendrix can be heard in the layering of deep funk rhythms and psychedelic inflections (especially with Miles's wah-filtered trumpet), but the overall sound seems to subsume and transcend the entire history of 20th century music. In a career full of musical innovation, this is some ...
| | John Coltrane One Up, One Down: Live At The Half Note CDs (2005) Remastered
Carnegie Hall Concert
$18.95
The dramatic, spiraling inventions of Tyner lend a frenetic element to Coltrane's already intense lines, while Jones and Garrison find and rearrange nearly every rhythm and counter-rhythm imaginable. There are only four tracks here (spread out over two discs), but each--whether it's the fiery title track or the exhilarating take on "My Favorite Things"--is a study in artistry.
Live Recording
Personnel: John Coltrane (soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone); Alan Grant (spoken vocals); McCoy Tyner (piano); Jimmy Garrison (double bass); Elvin Jones (drums).

| | Thelonious Monk At Carnegie Hall CD (2005)
Carnegie Hall Concert
$12.89
On paper it seems as if such titanic and distinctive musical personalities as Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane might not mix very well, but this stellar set, recorded live at Carnegie Hall in 1957, plays almost like a blissful extended duet between the two (with support from a sensitive yet hard-swinging bassist and drummer). The opener, "Monk's Mood," for example, features the composer/pianist's typically brilliant, idiosyncratic playing, while Coltrane floats over the top in the most lyrical of modes. Monk, in particular, is a master of tension-and-release tunefulness, creating rhythmic and harmonic intricacies that seem to spur Coltrane's saxophone exploration to new heights.
The quartet shines on ballads ("Sweet and Lovely"), but the leaders display their best chemistry on the Monk's thorny, uptempo bop numbers. "Evidence" and "Epistrophy," for instance," have Monk adding rhythmic, dissonant punctuation to Coltrane's torrential stream of ideas, creating a thrilling push-pull ...
| | Pat Metheny Metheny Mehldau CD (2006)
Carnegie Hall Concert
$15.65
This collaboration between guitarist Pat Metheny and pianist Brad Mehldau echoes the 1962 minor masterpiece UNDERCURRENT, a set of improvised duets between guitarist Jim Hall and pianist Bill Evans. Like Hall and Evans, Mehldau and Metheny rarely stray too far from a standard approach, sticking mostly to post bop and ballad frameworks. But the magic of the album comes from ...
| | Keith Jarrett My Foolish Heart CDs (2007)
Carnegie Hall Concert
$23.39
This release commemorates the 25th year of the jazz supergroup of pianist Keith Jarrett, bassist Gary Peacock, and drummer Jack DeJohnette, one of the longest-running small combos in jazz history. This threesome is sometimes known as "the standards trio," their specialty being classic songs that have become cornerstones of jazz and pre-rock pop ("What's New," "The Song Is You"). One special thing about this trio is that both Peacock and DeJohnette played with the late Bill Evans, the intensely lyrical piano icon who was one of Jarrett's influences. Aspects of Evans's approach are all over their playing, from the melodious interpretations and innate sense of ...
| | History Of Rock: The 60'S Part 2 CD (1990)
Carnegie Hall Concert
$12.19
Collectables' History of Rock: The 60s, Pt. 2 is a random but wonderful 20-track collection of pop and rock gems. It touches on doo wop (the Jive Five's "What Time Is It?," the Paradons' "Diamonds and Pearls"), garage rock (the Music Explosion's "Little Bit of Soul," the Five Americans' "Western Union Man"), bubblegum (the Archies' "Sugar, Sugar"), soul (Lee Dorsey's "Ya Ya," Aaron Neville's "Tell It Like It Is"), girl group (the Shangri-Las' "Give Him a Great Big Kiss," the Chiffons' "One Fine Day"), AM pop (the Brooklyn Bridge's "The Worst That Could Happen"), and just plain great songs (the Beau Brummels' "Laugh, Laugh," the Soul Survivors' "Expressway to Your Heart," the Turtles' "Happy Together"). The collection plays like an hour or so of really fun and diverse oldies radio, something that is getting harder to find on your radio dial every day. The only thing that makes the disc less than ideal is having two songs by some of the artists (the Turtles, the Shangri-Las, the Brooklyn Bridge). As great as the songs are, it would have been nice to add three more artists. That is a minor point, however, and shouldn't keep anyone from picking up this entertaining disc. ~ Tim Sendra

| | Michael Brecker Time Is Of The Essence CD (1999)
Carnegie Hall Concert
$12.49
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Album by an Individual or Group and "Outrance" was nominated for Best Jazz Instrumental Solo.
Tenor saxophone master Michael Brecker has shared the stage and studio with most every major drummer in modern music at one time or another. It was three very special stick-slingers, however, that Brecker chose to feature on TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE: the fiery Jeff "Tain" Watts, the inventive Bill Stewart, and the incomparable powerhouse Elvin Jones. Along with Brecker's muscular wail, guitar legend Pat Metheny and organ wizard Larry Goldings offer some stunning musical vehicles for these three outstanding percussionists.
It is Brecker's signature tenor tone and bravado that prominently conducts the proceedings and he is in fine form sparring with Jones on the waltzing opener "Arc of the Pendulum," complete with Elvin's signature loping gallop. Watts gives a commanding performance on the quirky "Dr. Slate" that offers some of the most rhythmically intricate ensemble work on the disc. Stewart is his usual amazing self on such tracks as the funky "Half Past Late" and "Renaissance Man," urging Brecker, Metheny, and Goldings onward with seemingly endless intensity. Elvin gets the closing ...

DISCREET MUSIC is Brian Eno's first break with pop music in favor of a quieter, more meditative form, and it came about by accident. When Eno was confined to bed after an auto accident, a visitor brought him an album of classical music, which he mistakenly put on the stereo at a very low volume. Unable to get up to raise the volume, Eno heard the quiet music blend with the natural sounds of his environment, and conceived a music ...

Carnegie Hall Concert
$32.99
When one considers the repertoire -- eight songs from movies. including the theme from The Magnificent Seven and the Beatles' "Yellow Submarine" -- this recording may not seem to have much potential. But actually, the set list includes four well-known standards (including "That Old Black Magic" and "Falling In Love Again"), and all of the music is transformed into creative and consistently exciting jazz. Trumpeter/flugelhornist Franco Ambrosetti is the lead voice, but gives plenty of solo space to his illustrious sidemen (guitarist John Scofield, pianist Geri Allen, bassist Michael Formanek, ...

Digitally remastered by Tom Moulton & Greg Vaughn (Frankford Wayne Mastering Labs, New York, New York).
Booker Ervin's debut as a leader teamed the intense tenor saxophonist with fellow tenor Zoot Sims (one will have little difficulty telling the cool-toned Zoot apart from Booker), trumpeter Tommy Turrentine, pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist George Tucker and drummer Dannie Richmond.
