Keith Jarrett's "Standards Trio" with bassist Gary Peacock and drummer

for granted, but this 2001 concert from Munich's State Opera shows their
combination of depth and spontaneity can still surprise. Jarrett has a

A musical chameleon, pianist Keith Jarrett was at his finest when he
recorded these sustained solo improvisations in a German concert hall in
1975, the first lasting 26 minutes, the second 40. Melodies and rhythmic
figures arise fluidly from his fingers as he moves from one idea to
another, while... |

Unique & spectacular reinterpretation of the folk tradition
At face value, Pentangle created fine interpretations of British folk
tunes, plus a number of well-judged originals adding to the richness of
their tradition; some of those tracks might be seen by purists as
popularising and possibly cheapening the genre, but most would agree
that Light Flight, I've... |

at last a CD release
This album from the latter years of Pentangle is one of their very best.
It was originally released during the autumn and even now, to me, it
still has that autumnal feel about it. This is summed up by the
wonderful version of 'The Snows', often called 'The snow it melts the
soonest'. This is Bert... |

Saxophonist John Surman is best known for such stunning overdubbed

his freely inventive
Stranger Than Fiction quartet. But he is also a composer of
stature. His oratorio Proverbs And Songs made it onto the Mercury
Prize shortlist in 1998,... |

It is permitted to disapprove of Keith Jarrett, despite the years of
adulation which have accumulated behind his peculiar brand of virtuosity
which somehow juggles spontaneity with an almost preternatural awareness
of form. However, even his detractors can usually be persuaded to agree
that this... |

Some of the most emotional music I have ever heard.
This really is one of the most emotional music I have ever heard. To me,
this CD is worth it for the 1st track only. I have quite a few of
Jarrett's solo concerts, but this track goes a step further. The two
other tracks are good (especially "The Wind"), but in a way do not go
with the 1st track.... |

Just Listen.....
Comparisons to David Gray would be valid if this album was by Elton
John. Luckilly, it is not.
Ordinary Joe is a dance classic, not croontastic. And it's fantastic.
Callier has a body of work which can make you dance, or make you stop
in your tracks.
Remember what Urban Species said when they sampled... |

Genuinely beautiful, graceful, lyrical, calming. This is my favourite

opening chord, through the rippling Water Girl and moments of ecstatic
musical discovery in Sunjog and Zakir. It's difficult to comprehend how

When Keith Jarrett debuted this largely Nordic quartet, he was in the
midst of developing a US-based group of the same size with heavy
leanings toward the approaches of Ornette Coleman and Paul Bley (even
using veterans of Coleman bands). With the Nordic band, Jarrett was
better suited to play... |

Jarrett's first outing 'the shape of things to come'
I remember first hearing this first solo album by Keith Jarrett way back
in 1983, along with the Koln Concert. Looking back, it is a peculiar
album as each piece presents, in compact form, many of what were to be
some of Jarrett's trade mark elements. It would repay anyone to buy it
and return to it... |

My first Terry album
This was my first taste of Mr Terry Callier. I remember putting the CD
on and being mesmorised for nearly 9 minutes listened to the majestic
'Dancing Girl'. This is a truly epic piece of music which takes you on a
musical journey into the sublime. The CD is worth buying just for this
one track. |

Well, it's exactly what it says on the tin, perhaps--another album of
quiet solo piano music from the doyen of quiet solo piano music--but
there's an intense, rather spooky strangeness to much of what's going on
here. The tone is set by the opening of the first piece, which focuses
