Released to coincide with the 40th anniversary of ECM, these solo concerts from the great American pianist are recordings to put alongside the very finest in Keith Jarrett's solo idiom. Recorded last year, they are released as a specially priced 3-CD set. At the end of 2008, Keith Jarrett added two concerts to his schedule at short notice - one at Paris's Salle Pleyel, one at London's Royal Festival Hall. The results were outstanding, even by Jarrett's own high standards, with powerful emotions never far from the music's surface. The open format, embracing much music in shorter episodes, makes the work in "the tradition" of Radiance, but there are also flashes of the existential poetic flair which made for instance the Sun Bear Concerts a special musical experience. In his liner notes, Jarrett gives a highly personal account of the music's inspirational genesis.
