Creating a spontaneous suite of forms in the moment with the assurance of a master builder interspersing touches of the blues and folksong lyricism between pieces of polyrhythmic and harmonic complexity he delivers one of his very finest performances. An attentive and appreciative audience hangs on every note, every nuance, and is rewarded with some tender encores including a magical version of "It's A Lonesome Old Town".
There is, still, nothing else like a Keith Jarrett solo concert. "Through a series of brilliant solo performances and recordings that demonstrate his utterly spontaneous creativity," the Polar Music Prize committee noted a few years ago, "Keith Jarrett has simultaneously lifted piano improvisation as an art form to new, unimaginable heights."
