Album Review
At two marathon three-day recording sessions in December 1975 and October 1976, the finest group that pianist Keith Jarrett ever led (his quartet/quintet with tenor saxophonist Dewey Redman, bassist Charlie Haden, drummer Paul Motian and, on the first sessions, percussionist Guilherme Franco) recorded enough material for four memorable albums: Shades, Mysteries, Byablue and Bop-Be. This four-CD 1996 box set has the complete sessions, including 11 previously unreleased alternate takes. Jarrett's inside/outside music (his unisons with Redman had a unique sound) both held onto the tradition of chordal improvisation and were reminiscent of Ornette Coleman's earlier acoustic groups. There are a few brief exotic sound explorations, but most of the music (best shown on the opening "Shades of Jazz") extends the swinging tradition into complex areas that have yet to be fully explored by others. Continually fascinating music.
Customer Reviews
jarrett's best
Keith Jarrett never sounded better than he did here. His later stuff too often becomes either muzak-y or flaccidly "free"; this playing is incredibly dramatic and surprising, no matter how many times you listen to it. His co-creators here are, of course, the best.
Greatest acoustic bop of the seventies
Absolutely this is my favorite period of Jarrett's - it's his greatest work. I agree wholeheartedly. The towering personality and passion of the amazing Keith Jarrett, with incredible contributions from Dewey Redman, Charlie Haden, Paul Motion and Guilherme Franco - everybody stands out. I know I'm going to p--- a lot of people off but I find most of Jarrett's solo piano work unbelievably dull and while he has made some stellar stuff with DeJohnnette and Peacock that can't quite compare to the work of this magnificent ensemble. Especially the stuff from Shades and Bop-Be.
