Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars A nice Jarrett sampler.......2007-03-16

Paris Concert is nice cross section of Jarrett's bag, with a free improvisation, a blues, and a jazz standard. If I could only own one Jarrett CD, this one would be it.

1 out of 5 stars we get it already.......2006-02-11

If you wish to learn something interesting re the fact that the keys of b minor and Bb major share the note D as their third, you would do far better to consult a decent recording of Beethoven's Hammerklavier Sonata than this navel-gazing narcissistic atrocity.

4 out of 5 stars Very good Jarrett improvisation........2005-01-23

I have several recordings of Jarrett's which include: Koln, Bremen/Lausanne, Vienna, Dark Intervals, Facing You, Tokyo '84 DVD.

However I don't find myself going back to the Paris concert as often as the first three I listed. The main reason is the Paris concert has one of his longest running episodes of droning away on one chord.

In the final analysis though this is excellent music. It has some of his most superb Baroque-style improvisation of any of his recordings, which in and of itself is a great reason to purchase this album. I mean how many artists out there even ATTEMPT to improvise Bach like stuff? Its really cool.

5 out of 5 stars Simply beautiful.......2004-07-24

I am more familiar with Keith Jarrett's classical releases, but of the jazz albums f his that I've heard, this is by far my favorite. I'm afraid that I might wear this disk out - I turn to it again & again.

5 out of 5 stars A must-have CD.......2004-06-25

Keith Jarrett's "Paris Concert" beings in a classical vein, employing quiet spots to create a meditative mood, but it quickly turns to moodier, even dangerous, territory with quicksilver tempo changes. Think of a stream that rolls and runs, building a force that nothing can stop. Jarrett piles on layer after layer of dense, pulsing sound, until the last third of "October 17" is awash in thunderous arpeggios, with the clouds clearing in the final, gorgeously sunburst six minutes. This music doesn't put you "in the mood" - it opens up the moods that are inside you and transcends mere listening.

The more melodic "The Wind" seems like an appropriate coda for this brilliant recording, with a thoughtful, almost nostalgic coloring. I also own the "Koln Concert," which also has its incredible passages, but I'm surprised that "Paris" only has a dozen reviews thus far. It's one of Jarrett's best pieces of improvisation and it shows his mastery of feeling, technique and range of styles.

I think that Jarrett's fans may prefer not to overdo their praise; the music is like all the better things in life: best savored in the intimate way Jarrett meant to convey it.
