Wonderful. Jarrett's ballad playing is truly excrutiatingly beautiful.

[@yoolpiano]

I agree with you!

[@jamesonrichards5105]

2:44 something so pretty about this melody
Again at 1:30 in a different context rhythmically

[@nezkeys79]

3:14 that E melody on the Gm is nice too. Minor 11 to minor 13 over that chromatic descending chord change is nice

I don’t know why but I love the C7(b9) to Fm9 so much here. So beautiful

[@yoolpiano]

I also love that.

Amazing accurate transcription! May I ask how were you able to sync the notation tempo to fit so accurate with Keith free tempo (metronomless)?

[@yoolpiano]

Thanks! While listening to his performance, I recorded my transcription at the same time, and then compared it to the original recording in Logic Pro and synchronized the details.

[@JeromeFe]

@@yoolpiano Thank you so much! I wish you will continue making this great stuff. All the best!

[@fernandorangelpinheiro2544]

I just wonder how this syncronization was possible with the original recording Amazing!!!!!

[@yoolpiano]

I recorded my transcription while listening to his playing and then synchronized the details later.

[@andersolavbjrkavag707]

This is great - fantastic!! Do you have perfect pitch or use a program like Melodyne. If possible could you do more Keith Jarret transcriptions ? (Like from Still Live and Tribute or even solo concerts. Perhaps you have done some all ready?

[@yoolpiano]

Thank you. I've never used Melodyne, so I don't know how accurately that kind of program can analyze complex jazz voicings. I have perfect pitch, but it took me a very long time to transcribe Keith Jarrett's music as accurately as possible. Of course I plan to do his other transcriptions later.

[@andersolavbjrkavag707]

Melodyne can help those of us without perfect pitch - to some degree - but it will not be perfect like what you have done. Thanks for the good work. There should be made a book on “voicings and chords” of Keith Jarrett - perhaps you can contact Keith himself -even giving out a note book of 10 or 20 transcriptions with the blessing of Keith and his thoughts analytically of his play would sell - perhaps with the comments of a jazz music theorist

[@yoolpiano]

@@andersolavbjrkavag707 Just like someone recently published a full transcription of his album, I would like to do something like that in the future if I get a chance. Thank you for your comments.

We are taught from an early age that the major 3rd and perfect 4th are a no no together but this sound is great imo even if you don't resolve it lol
0:39

[@yoolpiano]

That's exactly what I thought when I transcribed this. Since Keith Jarrett broke the rule, the jazz theory must be revised. Lol

[@nezkeys79]

4:56 do you think he meant to play Bb or C instead of B natural?

[@yoolpiano]

I just guess he intentionally played B natural instead of Bb. Although that is harmonically wrong as we know, B adds more tension and sounds better to me. But only he knows the truth. Haha

[@nezkeys79]

@@yoolpiano i think its a mistake tbh lol 😆

[@yoolpiano]

Maybe... haha

Great transcription but that b natural wasn’t on purpose, i’m pretty sure of that :D rather c oder Bb instead

[@rodluther982]

Yes his playing on ballads is beautiful. I don’t like his uptempo playing and his blues interpretations, however. You did a great job on this transcription. But take a look at the sheet music melody for this tune. It’s what the composer intended. Jarrett veers from the written melody at some crucial points and his new melody is frankly not as good as the composer’s. In addition Jarrett misses out on some difficult and more interesting harmonic possibilities. I suggest listening to Art Tatum’s version of this tune in A major no less.

[@yoolpiano]

Thank you for your in-depth comment. I'll check out Art Tatum's version you mentioned.

[@user-cj3qt5vc6h]

Привет! Не думаю ,что это корректно - сравнивать например Бетховена с Вагнером )))! Речь о личных предпочтениях и вкусах это всегда прогулка по лезвию ножа...))

[@nezkeys79]

Why does it sound like there is a midi recording playing over the original?

[@yoolpiano]

As stated in the description, the left channel is the original recording and the right channel is a MIDI recording of this transcription. So you're right.

[@nezkeys79]

@@yoolpiano oh. It's kind of off putting

[@yoolpiano]

It may feel that way to someone, as it was made for comparison between the original recording and transcription. Most of the transcriptions I uploaded were made in the same way.
