Keith Jarrett @ Carnegie Hall

The master of jazz piano played to a full house Wednesday night at Carnegie and if you were fortunate enough to be there, you were fortunate indeed.  Mr. Jarrett's virtuosity and composition are simply sublime.  He has mellowed and and sweetened as has his rapport with the aging audience in the hall.  Not that there was a young representation of jazz lovers.  Mr. Jarrett gives a full bodied performance as he moves along with his playing adding his own soft moaning to great impact.  I am reminded of Thelonious Monk's playing, somehow he always hits the right notes.  Amazing how a solo piano can fill the great hall of Carnegie with such impact.  I urge everyone to try to hear Mr. Jarrett live, but at the very least to purchase his music and enjoy jazz piano at its best.
