A quartet session, with Jan Garbarek.
Live in Brazil, April, 2011. ‘At his most exuberant… it’s a must’ (The Guardian). ‘Beautifully structured, jazzy, serious, sweet, playful, warm, economical, energetic, passionate’ (KJ. His mum likes it, too).
With Jan Garbarek, Palle Danielsson and Jon Christensen at Tokyo’s Nakano Sun Plaza in April 1979.
With Gary Peacock, Jack DeJohnette.
Enjoyably odd, wrong folk rock with baroque touches, from 1968. Jarrett plays everything — guitar, harmonica, soprano saxophone, recorder, piano, organ, electric bass, drums, tambourine and sistra — adding a string quartet here and there. He also sings, though it’s better when he doesn’t. Nearly all the tracks are two to three minutes.
With a Nitty Gritty dubplate do-over of Trial And Crosses.
Thumping soundboy frightener from 1987, with nice Eastern flourishes.
‘Yes we nice, yes we nice… Hold them, music, hold them, yes, we control them… no we nah go let them stray.’ Dancehall manners — on the rhythm Delgado used for Rasta People — as clinically murderous as all-time EJ hits for Jammys like Rock Them One By One and Turn Up The Heat.
