I know this song, but professional skater Yuzuru Hanyu skated at an ice show with Keith on the piano. It was a wonderful performance that touched people's hearts. I hope you get to see it someday.

Keith Jarrett is on a difficult medical journey now. Sending prayers up that he will return to what he so clearly loves. Still, if he never plays another note, whether by force or by choice, he has sailed us all to musical nirvana and back more times than we deserved.

切ない。胃の上辺りがキューっとなります。 羽生結弦さんを通して知りましたが、聴く機会を得て幸運でした。 また演奏される日が来る事を、お待ちしています

羽生結弦さんの 心からの滑りで 初めて知りました 胸をうち心が癒されていき 涙とめどなく流れました 世界中の人々が 幸せであれと 祈りが届きますように

There is something about this tune , the melody, how it is played or sung. It is being played here by Keith with that emotional gut feeling this song evokes by many. So brave of him ...he is never afraid to show his emotions through his playing! What a masterfull giant!!!

Just the first few chords and you know you are listening to one of the greatest

Magnifique ! Keith Jarrett et Bill Evans, deux grands pianistes ! Merci 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤👂

Breathtaking. Like a poet reciting his best verses.

As a professional classical pianist, I stand in complete awe of this man and his pianistic abilities. The singing tone is out-of-this-world beautiful, the harmonic tension and release absolutely heavenly, and the seamless modulations just brilliant. This is what music is all about!

This made me cry uncontrollably.. one of the greatest musicians ever, along with Bill Evans.. God bless them both.

NHK's music program (O Gen San) brings me here... Love this song❤

素敵な曲をありがとうございます。

My grandfather used to play this to me everyday as a kid while constantly begging me to learn it with him. Only god knows id do anything to go back in time and sit with him and learn like I've never learned before. I miss you Bert, love you mate RIP

One of the best renditions of this great song ❤I miss and love Keith Jarrett

I cry listening to this and thinking about that wonderfully talented man that he is.

"Danny Boy" (Londonderry Air) has often been cited as one of the most beloved melodies in world music. Keith's plaintive rendition captures its spirit as few have ever done. As an Irish-American preparing to spout my heritage on March 17, I am always moved by his unique interpretation. Truly, "A thing of beauty is a joy forever." Thank you, Keith Jarrett.

I put my headphones on, close my eyes and get lost is a myriad of colour, feeling and emotion, time ceases to exist, if he didn't stop playing, I might never wake up!

Maybe the most beautiful, heartfelt rendition of any song I have ever heard. Oh my goodness.

There are only a few musician that can make me cry. Thank you Maestro.

He is the piano.

I'm moving here to listen Danny Boy from just after seeing Yuzuru Hanyu's performance with this song at his ice show "Notte stellata". May the world be peaceful and fulfill with hope.

Because my name is Danny, this has been my song all my life. This is the most beautiful arrangement I've ever heard in all of my 70 years. Thank you Keith Jarrett 💚

One of the most beautiful performances I’ve ever heard.

He's surging out to the deep existential abyss, to the outer layers of metaphysical possibilities, and then in that state of utter trance and bliss, he invites you in to share in the deeper life of that emotional universe that he's created through the utmost honest and beautiful sounds and colors--ones you've never before imagined possible.

Oh, my goodness! If you've never played the piano before, it's difficult to imagine how intricate this piece is! The dynamics and delicacy with which Keith plays is masterful. Beautifully played!

入院中、良く聴いてました。眠れない夜は決まってね。エバンスも良いですが、何故か柔らかく優しく感じます。

Amazing playing. My wife and I listening to Kings Singers in Sweden, Gothenburg for many years ago and they sung this lovely song: Danny Boy. Thanks Keith and thanks dear God for the music

何度聴いても心にしみる時間、この演奏でエナジー（生きている喜び）感じます。 Great musician＆ Pianist.

Not only is the tone color exquisite but the shades of sound he produces on the piano transform this song into so much more than a simple tune. It becomes a colorful tapestry.

Keith...you're killing me...and it's all about Love.

Stunning! Keith's harmonies and dissonance are unmatched. Such soul and grace and intentionality. Just priceless!

This has to be the most beautiful rendition I’ve ever, ever heard. I’ve played it multiple times and it never fails to bring a tear to my eye. Reminds me of my long lost, dearly departed friend, Danny. Thanks you, Keith.

This is one of the few times I can honestly say i wish a tune had never ended...

A healing performance, for those who hear, flows from his hands into the piano. May love surround this wonderful artist to bring him his healing and restoration. ♥️🌹

The most beautiful performance of the most beautiful melody in the world. Thank you Mr Jarrett.

ただ、ただ素晴らしすぎる。 最初の一音で全て持ってかれる感覚。

ダニーボーイは戦場へ赴く息子への母親あるいは父親の思いの籠った曲です。 今ウクライナはじめ世界中に紛争が絶えません。 世界中から親や家族の 戦場に送り出す辛く悲しい思いがなくなることを願っています。 声高に反戦を叫ぶより心に沁みますね。 じっくり聞いていると自然と涙がにじんできます。

I love how he plays from his heart, and the harmonies reflect subtle feeling tones of emotion rather than being a cerebral academic exercise like you often hear in jazz players.

Gorgeous!!! SO emotional and heartfelt!

All of my children know I want this played at my memorial someday. But this version n the one sung by Kiri Tekanawa are exquisite. I hope you find perfect health Keith🌺💕🌺💕

Every note by Keith is a miracle ❤

Never fails to make this grown man cry.

The angst in his face as he expresses himself is just … mesmerizing! It’s like his heart, brain, emotions are just pouring out through his fingers.

KEITH JARRETT - Danny Boy It's coming up to that time of year when my kid brother Ron died - in his sleep, at home, age 68. He loved DANNY BOY, with its poignant “when all the leaves are dying” lyric. Not long before his passing I shared with my brother this, “my favorite instrumental” version - Keith Jarrett in a live performance before an appreciative audience. You just know that Keith is the sort of musician who “never forgets the lyric.” [Reminded again of something “Nelms123” wrote below this video:] "It is really amazing... but I'm going to wager that you know the lyrics... those who do not, don't yet know the depth of this tune. I like to phrase everything to flow through the words of the song, and i think Keith is doing that here. Especially when it comes to the final verse, i like to play it as if the mother is singing to her son from her grave. Brilliant tune." ---- I think of something the great, English-born jazz pianist Marian McPartland said to her good friend Oscar Peterson - about witnessing a live performance by a great jazz saxophonist, who came down from the stage looking disconsolate. "What's wrong?" Marian asked him. The reply: "I forgot the words . . . " The composer of that ancient Irish melody is unknown, but an Englishman (!) wrote those memorable words: “Fred Weatherly” who also wrote ROSES OF PICARDY (Find Sinatra's 'Great Songs From Great Britain' album with arranger Robert Farnon for the retire-the-trophy version of that one.) [Love the back story on Weatherly's lyric shared at Wikipedia:] 'Initially written to a tune other than "Londonderry Air", English lawyer and lyricist Frederic Weatherly wrote the words to "Danny Boy" in Bath, Somerset in 1910. After his Irish-born sister-in-law Margaret (known as Jess) in the United States sent him a copy of "Londonderry Air" in 1913, Weatherly modified the lyrics of "Danny Boy" to fit the rhyme and meter of "Londonderry Air". First recording was in 1915. --- Thanks for sharing Music Video Vault.

B E A U T I F U L ❤

Devastating in its beauty, invention, and direct access to the listener's heart! We will never see anyone like Keith

Soul touching- a few chords in, everytime i hear him play, my eyes well up and I feel it in the very deepest part of my being. I am humbled by his ability to do this. Thank you Mr. Keith Jarret. My soul is so vastly richer. ❤

The emotion is unreal , I can feel his soul.

This video is the proof that there could be a direct connection between soul and fingers. Very few people have this gift.

Stunningly melodious and beautiful💫Nothing like this I’ve heard🙏Rapturous❤️

Caught him live solo at Carnegie Hall some years ago... 12 encores !!! Fabulous

Amazingly beautiful! Around 2:50, almost standing when playing that beautiful 11th chord. Moved me to tears

These are some of the most beautiful voicings I've heard. Absolutely gorgeous.

Keith is one of the greatest jazz pianists of all time. I fear his health will never again let him create such beautiful music. My prayers are with this genius.

What a extraordinary harmony. this is my 100 times listening to this wonderful work.

I love this..exquisite feel and emotion. Brings me to tears..I just love it

This is why I love music so much. I may not be a pianist, but I certainly know when something is extra special and this masterpiece is one of them. So, so beautiful. How could anyone dislike this? They are idiots.

Stunningly beautiful playing that reaches the soul.

This piece of music soothes the soul..💕🙏...so beautiful.

The beauty and pathos of the tune shines through and are magnified by his approach. Very little embellishment through most of the rendition and beautifully conceived and reverent improvisation before a return to the melody. Masterful and heartfelt.

I'm at a loss for words but not for tears...sublime!

- Lovely rendition. Keith doesn't just play the notes; he feels them too. The emotion in the harmonies is wonderful.

a very personal song interpreted with a grace I can not put into words, and now this loss...I guess at this point it's ok that it's raining down on my face...prayers Mr. Jarrett

Thank you Keith for the most hauntingly beautiful version of Danny Boy...my sweet Irish mother passed 1 month ago and listen to you play this song with your whole heart..i cry tears of joy and gratitude to God for you and the blessings of this life.

It nearly brings tears to my eyes. It certainly makes the hairs on the back of my neck tingle. Sublime. I can't believe I have only just found it. Where on earth have I been?

I do believe this is my most favorite version of all time. There is no greater master than Keith on this one. His depth of understanding far beyond those of mortal man. Love that guy. He is the greatest!

So sad that he can't do what he loves now. He is a genius. To see him perform was pure heaven. Wish his health would return. Thank goodness for recordings so that the young can experience his tremendous talent. Prayers for him.

Sweet, sweet, sounds. Thank you for this love!

I just don't have the words to describe how this made me feel.

Unbelievably sensitive and powerfully gorgeous rendition of this old, lovely, sad song. A master at work.

I’m so in love with this song. No matter who plays it or who plays it. But there are times when a master takes it to a whole different level.

I quickly get tired of watching him,, but never of listening to him. He is eternal.

Dear God, Thank you for my life that includes the privelege and wonder of hearing and seeing Keith Jarrett. The heart-achingly beautiful music created by him has provided me with so much awe and appreciation for the spiritual connection between us mortals and the infinite universe of love. Respectfully, Me

A true musician like Jarrett knows Danny Boy has transcended cliché. It’s one of the great melodies of all time, and can be played straight without jazzy rhythyms or gimmicks. Nice.

Love you my sweetheart and you, Kieth Jerret. May God bless you

Such a loss that he can no longer play. I've just been listening to the Budapest concert, newly released. Wonderful music there, and throughout his entire career. I can't imagine what it must be like to have been that accomplished and never again to be able to do the thing you loved so much.

Nothing like it.....Keith Jarrett is beyond Words....

One of those rare out-of-tempo solo performances where you hear the lyric -- hear those words composed to a traditional Irish melody by an Englishman, Fred Weatherly -- who a century ago wrote another popular song, Roses of Picardy. But you knew that. A "Fall-time" song with a special appeal to Catholics (Ave Maria). "But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying, If I am dead, as dead I well may be, You'll come and find the place where I am lying, And kneel and say an 'Ave' there for me . . . " Mr. Jarrett's is still my favorite solo piano recording of DANNY BOY -- tied for first with his hero Bill Evans' late-in-life rendition. Similar but different. And both so achingly beautiful. Thanks for sharing, Music Video Vault.

Oh my. He’s so wonderful. He’s just purely playing and enjoying,,his soul is intricately connected to the piece ❤❤❤❤ so emotional! This connection is so personal, almost spiritual,,,

My all-time favorite pianist!

Just pure genius. This gift of reharmonization comes from" letting go" of an incredible amount of "book knowledge" contained in his soul so that his reharmonizations of the melody just flow forth. It's like he discovers new colors and possibilities of harmony each with its own set of emotions and feelings every time he repeats the melody. In this particular area of composition, of which improvisation over set chord changes is the methodolgy, only Bill Evans was on this general level. No doubt, Keith was influenced by Bill. Rest in peace Bill - you died too soon.

Disarming and profound. A rare artist that can walk your soul to its destination without artifice.

Pure music with no extraneous ornamentation, really beautiful.

It touched me and made me cry... so beautiful...

The thought and intensity this man puts into this song is truly amazing

I was moved... He touched my raw nerve.. hope he recovers soon

Such a sublime performance. Perfect balance, and outstanding harmonisation. I LOVE THIS!

Melody pleasing to the heart. His passion is intense. Love it. Grows and spreads. It can be sad, inspirational but relaxing and spirited.

I've listening to this video several times, and I'm always captivated with his talent and his arrangement. It's powerful and packed with emotion, just extraordinary... My name is Dan and my grandmother used to always greet me with her vocal rendition of this song. Anyway, there are so many great versions of this historical song, but this ranks right up there with the best along with Andy Williams... Thanks Mr. Jarrett...!

This work means more to me than Keith/you could ever know. I am so grateful that he/you chose to invest in this particular song. Thank you. It facilitates a connection, that for me, transcends death.

This is a really lovely rendition of one of the most profound melodies Ive ever heard

A truly gifted pianist, saw him in a small club in Atlanta in approximately 1976. Perfect venue with less than 100 people. Will never forget it, a couple in the front row were talking when he was playing, he stopped the performance and said, “ apparently what you are saying is more important than what I am playing, finish what you were talking about and we will wait for you.” You could have heard a pin drop.

Mister Jarrett’s Danny Boy’s is throughly inspiring and amplifying of one’s consciousness, and no commentary, and, or, words can do justice to something so moving and profound. But, beyond its essential beauty; it is it improvisational and transitory nature, that, which makes it so precious. Here now and then gone. Like all great music and so many of the other beautiful things that can inspire us; it is there for just a moment, only. The present moment, asking us to acknowledge our connection with it and the ONENESS we share with all things! Blessings to all those that can tap into its sublime power and a full measure of empathy for those, few, that may miss the amazingly exalted beauty of this performance. Reynaldo Renderos

May this sound forever...and ever.

What expression !!! What a feel !! So emotional and rich !!! Absolute joy !! An ultimate performance !!

To the comments below I can only agree wholeheartedly. Sublime. Poignant. Heartfelt. Heart-wrenching. There appears to be only one Keith Jarrett. It is an honor to live at the same time as him and hear his music. Thank you so much, Mr. Jarrett.

Genius!! The One and Only!!!

The hundreds of hours I spent in my youth listening to Keith Jarrett albums I will never rue. Grateful to my late parents for taking me to hear him several times - and perchance meet him.

A simple song expressing a simple longing played simply beautifully. Thank you Keith Jarrett. This is a treasure.

ONE of the BEST MUSICAL GENIUS OF MY GENERATION....his piano speaking LOVE, PEACE, MEDITATION......
