Keith Jarrett

Not sure whether I've posted about this cat before, but I'll do it now anyway in a quick post. Was just looking through my YouTube "Recommended for You" section, and found this gem from Keith Jarrett which blew me away. I saw in the description that it was from his album Still Live, so I hooked it up on Spotify and found the whole album.

And I'm totally in awe of this trio. It's so tight from start to finish.

The track I want to highlight is the one from the video, You And The Night And The Music / Extension / Intro / Someday My Prince Will Come. You'll have to get to 12 minutes in to find the part I'm talking about, which is Someday My Prince Will Come. This is one of my all-time favourite standards, and this version is a little bit more up-beat than I'm used to, but it's nails.

Seriously check it out. I'll try to do more of these smaller posts just with a track or 2 on them, because I try to save them up then forget about all of the best ones.

'til next time...
