Please consider donating to my fund to transcribe Keith Jarrett's "Osaka, Pt. 1" from The Sun Bear Concerts. I will be making PDFs of each section available as I finish them. More information can be found here: gofund.me/cf065ef8
Out of the long list of things to marvel at in this performance, the combination of the flawless voicing of the melody over the chords, never even letting big bass notes in octaves or dense chords overshadow it, and the astounding pedaling that never allows anything to get muddy - a very common weakness amongst pianists - just blows my mind. Staggering. Another amazing transcription - thank you, Michael!
In any setting that Keith Jarrett played in , with a quartet, trio and as a soloist he is just amazing! A virtuous pianist , he's contribution to music at large is incredible , always will appreciate it!!
Merveilleux ! Merci beaucoup de ce beau relevé. DepuIs Facing You (1972), j'écoute Keith Jarrett avec une admiration sans bornes. Je sais aujourd'hui (depuis son premier disque avec le trio qu'il forme avec Gary Peacock et Jack DeJohnette, en 1983) qu'il s'agit d'un authentique génie.
Thank you Michael. I love your transcriptions. Often they relate to songs I like a lot. This is another one of my favorites of K. Jarrett. By the way your transcriptions are for me always also a great inspiration and motivation to try to play them. Very heartwarming und surprising presents out of the heaven of music. And I highly appreciate your work therefore and naturally because it's very well done. Actually I am a very patient man, but I hardly dare to say it. I am already looking forward, what is coming next. Thanks a lot!!! ( And excuse my perhaps a little clumsy English!)
💥 Keith Jarrett is one of the all time greatest. We all know that, I'm saying this only for those on the classical music side that do not know him. 😅😅😅
Beautiful!! But judging by the extreme wide shots in this video, the audience not only forgot to applaud… they apparently forgot to show up!! Their loss!!
Can we stop talking about Musk, already? What on earth does he have to do with this elegant beauty? And what makes you think Jarrett would *ever* consent to Musk doing anything with his remains?
I doubt they forgot. Sometimes the silence at the end needs not to be broken too early, and Jarrett maybe went into something else before they were ready to break it themselves.
The only rationale I have is this was his opening piece at the legendary 100th Japan concert. I always told myself the audience wasn’t confident about the appropriateness of applause during KJ‘s shows. Clearly, we all know you don’t ever clapping during-but certainly after/between his songs. We all know they warmed up after this moment, but I’m assuming they froze due uncertainty of KJ & American jazz performance etiquette. 🤔
The audience was likely instructed not to applaud at all. If I'm not mistaken this wasn't very uncommon during his performances, especially the recorded ones. Perhaps he had also threatened to stop the concert if he caught anyone applauding or coughing :) . Or maybe the star hadn't had his favorite dessert before the concert, so the performance was delayed for several hours while they found a cooperative pastry chef, and the audience left in the meantime (I'm not making this up btw).
Maybe, but they clapped after most, if not all, of the rest of the pieces. I really think it was just a magical moment that they collectively didn't want to spoil.
@@UkuleleAversion "Keith Jarrett tient son rang de goujat" on Libération, you can look it up and translate it. I thought the concert had been more delayed than 13 minutes though 😅.
@@Madinko12 .If you bother to watch the complete concert the audience clap after every tune apart from this one.And Keith isn't against the audience showing their love for his performances -- its a myth -- he just doesn't like it when a small minoriity spoil it for the rest by not giving full attention to what he plays.He actually states in the Rick Beato interview that he loves his masterpiece version of Bye Bye Blackbird at the Deer Head Inn BECAUSE you can hear the audience obviously reacting to his quite extraordinary solo.
It is beautifully played - and masterfully transcribed - but I wish he'd modulated, even just up to G flat. I don't know if it's just my warped aesthetic but F major is a tyrannically mundane key, on the piano, at least.
Well listen to Jarretts extraordinary Deer Head Inn version of Bye Bye Blackbird in F MAJOR -- there is absolutely nothing mundane about that! It ain't the key-- its what you do with it!
This isn’t the first time I witnessed Keith Jarret “lose” an audience with longwindedness. His mastery notwithstanding, this performance makes me feel like he thinks everyone in the audience is incidentally just there to witness his intimacy with the instrument. There seems to be a disconnect, on his part, between himself and the listeners, instead of an effort to strive for communion between his intimacy with the piano and the listeners in the auditorium.
I mean, music is subjective and to each his own, but this couldn't be more the opposite of how I interpret this. To me, this is just so stunningly beautiful, and an audience that is there to see his 100th solo performance in Japan would have absolutely loved this. And also, really what other reason would there be to see Keith if not to witness his intimacy with the piano? And the fact that they clap uproariously to every song on the rest of the concert seems to fit with my interpretation here. They just didn't want to spoil a perfect moment and the end of the song. But again, to each his own. I'm not really trying to argue here.
@@michaellucke2654 So stunningly beautiful indeed. I bought this laser disc(!) back in the day. This track had the most profound effect on me, and still does. As an amateur pianist I couldn't be more grateful for your work
Well, the concert was in Japan, so I bet it wasn't an Austrian audience. Very much doubt that a crowd of people that came to see Keith's 100th solo performance in Japan wouldn't have liked this

Excellent performance and transcription, the intro melody inspired by Rachmaninoff's rhapsody on a theme of paganini variation N° 18
Marvelous indeed. I remember discovering this piece on the concert DVD when I was 16. The entire concert is actually a level of its own.
What a beautiful revelation it must have been. That's a blessing in itself. 🎶🙏
❤ one of the greatest musicians that has ever lived!!!❤
Absolutely
So, so Beautiful!!!! And when I remember the situation he is in and that took him away from the stage, it sounds even more beautiful!
Keith is that rare musician who can actually “speak” music.
Well put, Martin.
Martin, I have at times described Jarrett's performance of a ballad as not so much a song being played, but as a story unfolding. Beyond beautiful.
Never heard this and am stunned by it's beauty. Thanks
What a moment of utter Grace and Beauty. Gentle and rich subtlety.
Thank you for sharing and for the illuminated transcription.
An awe-inspiring and luscious improvisation by one of the greatest masters. Thanks for transcribing and sharing this!
When it's so beautiful I forget to listen ...
That's okay, you can watch it again. But pay attention this time! It's really good!
Thank you.
That 4:03-4:07 lick is so simple yet so elegantly and beautifully performed!
Lukas, nice, right? Also, I feel the same way about the beautiful simplicity of 6:11-6:22.
@@jazztemple2 Yes, that line is also very beautiful. Keith will stay as my favourite pianist of all time :-)
Actually from 3:54 to 4:32 are really memorable phrases.
@@whatdoyouknow4843 yes! that’s also part of my time stamp!

The best..

Bach crapped better music than this.
Well done. I also agree with what you call the chords.
Beautiful!! But judging by the extreme wide shots in this video, the audience not only forgot to applaud… they apparently forgot to show up!! Their loss!!
The night we called it a day
Schöne Sendung
I love that moment at 4:23 - 4:31
That's really one of my favorite moments in all of music!
Jarrett is pure LOVE and gives hope to mankind, Elon should preserve his brain for eternity !
You're listening to his soul, not his brain, so that would be futile.
Can we stop talking about Musk, already? What on earth does he have to do with this elegant beauty? And what makes you think Jarrett would *ever* consent to Musk doing anything with his remains?
Neither feminine or masculine. Just pure spirit...
I doubt they forgot. Sometimes the silence at the end needs not to be broken too early, and Jarrett maybe went into something else before they were ready to break it themselves.
Art exist because life is not perfect." - Tarkovsky
Are these part of his famous and commercially successful two chord improvisations i read about.
It sounds a little low
Compared to what?
@@musamor75 this track volume is really soft. Even with my speaker volume maxxed out, it is very quiet!
@@AlanBlackman It is true. There are other uploads of this performance on RUclips as well, ,by the way, and some at least are at a higher volume.
Is there a CD or wav version of this to buy somewhere?

It started out great but then it seems to lose it's way.
The cheap comments I happened to catch glimpse of made me stop the viewing.
What do you mean by this?
Austrian crowd right ? they just didn't like it i think. too sentimental.
Well, the concert was in Japan, so I bet it wasn't an Austrian audience. Very much doubt that a crowd of people that came to see Keith's 100th solo performance in Japan wouldn't have liked this
Not sentimental.Played with sentiment.Big difference.
