yeah! It feels like there's a drummer and a bassist playing in the background!

He is probably the most genius musician in the world for a reason

I saw an interview with him where he talked about the insane amount of time he put into his left hand independence. He said he was disappointed with the results as he was hoping for much more. It was almost like he thought it wasn't worth it. I think he wanted both hands to sing equally.

I totally agree with how impressive the independence of his two hands is, and I couldn't play either hand by itself, but I honestly didn't enjoy listening to this piece! It sounds too random.

@@davevaebutuoy I don’t mind the right hand, but I prefer breaths of horn players in a pianists’ playing and agree with the random aspect of it, especially in the left hand. This is like a perfected version of playing too long and never resting? but with hip elements and played by a master? although he definitely states musical themes and follows them fairly thoroughly to another, as well as the head not being random at all but complimenting his left hand’s rhythms a little more

wait wait wait, Keith watches THIS video?? At what time in the interview? I haven't watched the whole thing yet

Oh, I found it. It's not my actual video, but the original video from the performance. That's awesome though! He's totally into it, and surprised by a lot of it!

@@michaellucke2654 Sorry, I didn't mean to imply it was your video - I don't think Keith would need a transcription 🙂 but the rest of us might... Thank you so much for your tremendous work on here!!

@@twangbarfly Haha, no I just misread! Thanks for pointing this out. It was very special to watch

That exact moment in Beato’s video made Jarrett click for me. He’s not watching himself but listening, as Beato added the video in production. But the effect is mesmerizing. What an immense talent.

So percetfly said

I see freedom too

amen

Only sometimes???

@@michaellucke2654 It's not that easy to choose one, but yes, he is the greatest. His artistry reminds me Bach. True genius of our era

Haha, I know. It's really so hard to choose, and really not necessary anyway. There are so many greats! But, I think Keith has this undeniable, raw talent that's so rare.

Bach, Jarrett, Evans, Monk, Hornsby. For different reasons. Jarrett is possessed. ;)

@@yarn9329 absolutely!

come on we are worthy of hearing why not?

"American"!? Don't be one of those ignorant Americans, please.

You know Solar isn’t one of Keith’s tunes, right?

After this performance it sure was. He owned but good! @@stephensmith2707

I'm actually working on the first 22 minutes of that one! I have about 8 left to go, and yes, it's amazing!

@@michaellucke2654 Hello!! 24:55 to 29:55 is when KJ achieved greatness. Could you please transcribe that part!! Playing it would be my dream. Thanks.

1 out of a billion shot

If I were!! :)

Is this referring to how much Keith hates it when the audience coughs?

@@michaellucke2654yes. I like Keith’s music and he’s obviously brilliant but I find that he takes himself a bit too seriously. I cough as an objection to his poor attitude and general rudeness.

🤣

@@displaychicken I've come to the conclusion that Keith Jarrett was probably a little bit autistic or at least OCD and the coughing just set him off. But, yes I've been to many of his concerts and I wish he would just play and not offer up his various opinions on things...

lol, that would be me!

Parabéns 👏👏👏

Yeah, this one is so great. I've loved it for over 20 years! And YES I have transcribed Stella from La Fenice! It's insane. Unfortunately I can't put the audio up on KZfaq because of copyrights but you can watch the video with audio here: www.michaelluckemusic.com/transcriptions/p/keith-jarrett-stella

@@michaellucke2654 Wow, I had no idea you already transcribed that version of Stella! You are a legend! I love how you transcribe alot of my top 3's - Keith, Brad and Fred.

@@michaellucke2654 man do you use some software i guess to transcribe, am I correct? Cannot imagine doing this manually. That would be a hell of a job

@@giovannimontagnana6262 Haha, no it's all "manual" I guess. Well, I mean I do use software to slow the audio down, or shift the pitch if I need to. But the notes and rhythms are all me.

@@michaellucke2654 incredible work man.

It's from Solo Tribute, his 100th solo performance in Japan

Solar

@@ahan95gmailcom yes!! Pat Metheny’s version was playing in my head. Thanks!

Indeed. Though one of their hands would easily surpass me with two. What amazing talents...

Keep your religion out of it, please. This is just what a genius dedicated human artist can achieve. It's precisely a testament of what human kind can aspire to without the need for any god.

Probably you're trying to hard to justify your taste with some mumbo-jumbo phrases. I may not be the only one that can't quite grasp what you intended to say... On the other hand, your preference for the Scofield and Abercrombie version tells me you like a more trivial and simple form of jazz. No problem. It's just a taste, as you put it.

@@bruno_dias "... tells me you like a more trivial and simple form of jazz" actually shows me , that you did not even listen to their version . Maybe you do not know , that for example Abercrombie played with Jack de Johnette just like Jarrett did and had no intentions of playing easy listening jazz . You just tried to show of with an advanced taste . isn't that a bit embarrasing ? no need to jump to Jarretts defence . Did you ever try to play over that tune ? it is only II V I after II V I . It's pretty hard to get some melodic logic into the improvisation . That is all i was trying to say . Never mind , it is just taste as we both agree . But listen to the Scofield / Abercrombie version and you will find out , that it is far from easy listening jazz .

Deeper where ?

If something they did never went deeper than Jarrett. What a nonsense!

They were innovators, Jared is just a accomplished jazz player. Anyway, it's all sunjective

​@@jonathanweiss7716 Your lack of knowledge is impressive.

Man stfu and listen. They are both geniuses, if you really delved into Keith's discography you'd know he's as deep as it gets

No Evans is quite restricted rhythmically.Keith was a drummer and you can hear that.His rhythmic sense is as great as Coltrane. ....and another thing Jarrett can REALLY play the Blues, something that Bill Evans could NEVER do which is why Miles chose Wynton Kelly to play the blues tunes on A Kind Of Blue.Name just one convincing blues performance by Bill Evans! and all those long bloody triplets get so damn tedious. Its actually a greater achievement what Jarrett did - He managed to come after Evans and still sounded completely original even after such a strong original voice as Bill.....Besides Keith has a mastery of Stride and Tatum style -- real two handed piano. And his Shostakovich is in a different league to Evans attempts at classical piano.

@@fennelleastman8816 Obviously you are a fan but as a polemiscist you are all over the place so I will respond to your critique the best way I can. Everything on KIND OF BLUE is a blues or derived from one. According to Jimmy Cobb, who was the drummer, Bill Evans was largely responsible for the overall sound and direction of the session. By the way, initially Miles wanted to call the album "All Blues." SOLAR is also a blues. But just to summarize: Evans was one of the most important innovators of jazz. As far as rhythm is concerned, he (and Lafaro and Paul Motian) created trio where often no one was playing time. Evans also has his own rhythmic style. It may sound a little stiff to some, but it definitely swung. Evans also contributed some important tunes like WALTZ FOR DEBBY, TURN OUT THE STARS AND TIME.REMEMBERED to the jazz rep. Keith plays mostly standards. I cannot think of any tune he wrote. Keith may be a better classical pianist but that is irrelevant. Pianistically, SOUND, TOUCH,.PEDALING, Evans os on another level. You can check out my Cd streamed on any sight called BUDDHA OF THE RAINFOREST for backup

@@jonathanweiss7716 mostly standards? Have you heard his straight up improve like the Koln concert? I guess that doesn't count then

"To me, more interesting melodically, rhythmically and even harmonically". Yes, to you maybe... The Evans part on that album is miles behind "melodically, rhythmically and even harmonically" to Jarrett's version. And the 20 years difference can only excuse the much more restricted approach that a trio could make when compared with this. I'll give you that Bill Evans was of great importance for the standard (in the sense of norm) American jazz expression but Jarrett goes way beyond that, mixing much more styles and influences than just standard American jazz. And the plethora of great modern European and Asian (and even some Americans) jazz musicians of today are much more influenced by Coltrane and Jarrett than by Evans.

Well that's just your opinion, and many people would disagree, but what do I know against the great David Patrick?

Well, just piss off and go listening to Justin Bieber or Beyoncé.

Yes, your mother said the same when you were born.
