Keith Jarrett

3-CD SET

“The Bregenz/Munich concerts were Jarrett’s most brilliant live solo recordings to date; his level of inspiration is quite extraordinary, and the music covers a wider musical and emotional range than ever. He takes fabulous risks, pushing everything to the limit.”
– Jarrett biographer Ian Carr

After “Bremen/Lausanne”, after “The Köln Concert”, after the epic “Sun Bear Concerts”, the next development in Jarrett’s solo concerts was the all-embracing music captured here. This three disc set could be said to be a culmination of the first wave of Jarrett’s solo music. Two improvised concerts from Austria and Germany are featured, recorded respectively at the Festspielhaus Bregenz (on May 28th, 1981) and the Herkulessaal der Residenz, Munich (on June 2nd, 1981).

While the Bregenz concert has previously been available as a single CD, and while Jarrett himself included an excerpt from the Munich show in a selection of personal favourites chosen for his :rarum anthology in 2002, this reissue marks the first appearance of the complete Munich performance on compact disc...
