Solo performer: Keith Jarrett (clavichord).
Recorded at Tonstudio Bauer, Ludwigsburg, Germany in July 1986.
Personnel: Keith Jarrett (soprano saxophone, piano, clavichord).
Recording information: Bauer Studios, Ludwigsburg, Germany (07/1986).
Thanks in no small part to ECM founder Manfred Eicher's patience and indulgence, here we have another of Keith Jarrett's myriad "special projects" -- two CDs of music recorded on a clavichord. This carries Jarrett's anti-electric crusade to a real extreme, the clavichord being a keyboard from J.S. Bach's day, obsolete for over 200 years. The instrument produces a gentle pinging sound like a harpsichord crossed with a zither (the amplified Hohner Clavinet is the closest sound in our time), and Jarrett occasionally tries to stretch the instrument's limited possibilities, hammering percussively on the close-miked strings. Yet for the most part, Jarrett reins in his world-class technique in order to make unpretentiously minimal music on this ancient keyboard. Some of it sounds like folk music, some like new age contemplation, there are convincing neo-baroque musings, and a few of these untitled though numbered selections kick into a higher gear. Sometimes this music is charming...But hey, they also laughed when Keith started putting out massive sets of solo piano... ~ Richard S. Ginell

Read a review from "ALL ABOUT JAZZ"http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/review.php?id=11604In November 2001, a local Sacramento jazz group that I perform with called Capital Jazz Project presented a concert of all Dave Brubeck music. The director of the Brubeck Institute, JB Dyas, was in attendance and asked if the group would repeat the performance at the Brubeck festival the following year. In the meantime, JB asked me if I would teach at the Brubeck Colony (a Summer camp for outstanding highschool jazz musicians). He also asked if I would come in and teach Dave's music to the Institute students for a week in December 2002.After teaching Dave's music to the students there, I submitted a report to JB as to my endeavors. JB copied the letter to Dave Brubeck. Dave was impressed, and sent me all of his published music because I thought there might be some other compositions I might like to share with the students. I thought it was such a nice gesture from Dave and I took many of the tunes over to the Institute to play with Joe and Justin (the bassist and drummer at the Institute). As we read thru the tunes, they instantly sounded modern and fresh because of the approach of the rhythm section. I rearranged the tunes to fit both Dave's ideals and the talents of the band. I thought the least I could do was record what we had done and send it to Dave. He then was very excited about the project. It is a great honor and pleasure to play Dave's music. He is such a humble man, and so inspirational, especially since at the age of 83 he still performs and composes constantly. My first jazz album was Time Out. That was the musical catalyst that helped to then break into understanding the music of Miles Davis, John Coltrane et.al.. I don't know where I'd be today if it weren't for that album.JOE GILMAN hails from Northern California where he is an active musician and educator. He is a four time finalist (1997, 1998, 2000, 2002) in the Great American Jazz Piano Competition and has twice been a Kennedy Center Jazz Ambassador to 12 countries on the African continent (1998, 2000). Joe has performed professionally with Woody Shaw, Slide Hampton, Bobby Hutcherson, Dave Liebman, Eddie Harris, Marlena Shaw, Randy Brecker, John Fedchock, Bob Mintzer, Chris Botti, Bobby Shew, Charles McPherson, George Duke, Jessica Williams, and many others. He has several recordings as a leader, including "Joe Gilman" and "Here, There, and Everywhere" for the Artful Balance label and "Treasure Chest" featuring Joe ...
