Mahavishnu Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Originally played at the Koln Concert 1975 by Keith Jarrett. I in no way am trying to compete with the great man. This is my attempt at an inimitable work of true art. Keith Jarrett is genius personified. https://www.soundclick.com/music/songInfo.cfm?songID=14076484 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiee Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 This is nice, at least you have tried and not failed I would fail at about bar 1 beat 2. I do believe a round of applause is due @Mahavishnu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Sprouse Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Mr. Funes that is a fine rendition. Did you learn it by ear, or did you have the manuscript? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahavishnu Posted July 10, 2020 Author Share Posted July 10, 2020 Thank you Wookiee and funnily enough I did give up learning this piece in 1991 about 4 bars in. Thanks David, I watched someone play this on youtube and realised the chords were fairly simple so I added the tune to them. I did a combination of watching, using my ear, following a midi score and listening to Keith Jarrett himself play it. I still haven't finished it though. It's a piece that I never tire listening to and playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB01 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Beautiful rendition - I can only dream of chops like this on keys but I am trying to improve - it's a long old road... Thanks for sharing and very well played - I enjoyed that a lot. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhonoBrainer Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I wore that Koln Concert out on vinyl and your version brought back the memories! Many thanks, I think you did a great job and the piano was recorded very well, whatever you used! cheers, -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahavishnu Posted July 10, 2020 Author Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) Thanks Andy. If you love something enough you'll get good at it and the long old road is worth every step. emeraldsoul thank you: My keyboard is a touch sensitive (an absolute prerequisite for any serious pianist) Yamaha S90. The piano sound is Komplete's "Giant" which i programmed to "All that Jazz" Interesting to note that Keith Jarrett nearly cancelled that 1975 concert as the piano was not up to scratch and he had back problems at the time: the magic of serendipity! However, it remains one of the best selling jazz albums of all time. Edited July 10, 2020 by Mahavishnu . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
