 DVD vs CD.................duh! This is Jarrett at his best! February 7, 2010
J. Herrmann (RICHMOND,VA)
The audio portion of this concert DVD is impeccable, Keith Jarrett is in top form for this solo performance. The video portion is generally excellent with Jarrett keeping his distracting vocalizing down to a minimum.

Somehow I missed that this was a DVD not a CD. This person is much more enjoyable to listen to than to watch.

Suffice it to say I am a huge fan of this man, an understatement to say the least.

br /This DVD is a profound document, recorded almost twenty years ago as I write this. There is something particularly intense about this performance of standards; variety in material to be sure- but the detail he brings to these interpretations, whether meditative, bluesy-gospel or straight out swing improv of the highest calibre, is simply amazing. You will encounter much counterpoint in these interpretations, executed with a taste and flair Bach himself would praise.
br /
br /At some point Jarrett seems to conjure the muse or whatever spririts motivate or infuse his playing in a seemingly comic wave of his hands and no wonder; every moment of this disc is pure inspiration, a joy to watch and an even greater pleasure to listen to. Considering much of his playing at this time (1987) involved his trio, this Tokyo performance reveals just how independent this singular musician/genius is, capable of sustaining the audience's rapt attention throughout the entire program.
br /
br /A must have- in many ways more satisfying than most of his freer solo improv CDs, certainly more of an academic document for fans casual or devoted.

I've listened to Jarrett for 30 years and no musician has meant more to me as a person who loves many genres, including jazz. This is a gorgeous CD and it would be worth the full price to just for the "Summertime" track.

Celebrating his 100th concert in Japan, Mr. Jarrett obviously came out with a lot of energy and enthusiasm. But it was the second half of the concert that amazed me so much, with the standard tunes like Round About Midnight, Then I'll be Tired of You, The Wind, and especially Solar, Keith played them more open than they were in the Trio, Motives just came one after another unstoppably. As a fact Keith hiself was amused by the inspiration along the tune and put on some magic shows after applause. pComparing with CDs it might not be a perfect night, however, it's one of the best video documents available for Keith Jarrett.
