7/4 Posted June 12, 2013 Report Posted June 12, 2013 Dude...we hear the noise because the music is quiet. If the music was loud, we wouldn't notice the little sounds. Quote
king ubu Posted June 13, 2013 Report Posted June 13, 2013 so you're all for micro-tonal-audience-participation-music? Quote
7/4 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Posted June 13, 2013 If he'd just get on with it and start banging away, no one would notice a sniffle. Quote
king ubu Posted June 13, 2013 Report Posted June 13, 2013 Is that a John Cage composition? It's what you get when you suffer from compulsory coughing disorder and Keef stops playing and leaves the stage ... but then I guess the beautiful micro-tonal-audience-participation-music would again be drowned out by the booing of the audience ... too bad really. Seems we'll never get to actually hear it! Quote
CraigP Posted June 13, 2013 Report Posted June 13, 2013 If he'd just get on with it and start banging away, no one would notice a sniffle. I'd love to see his reaction if you told him in person to start "banging away". Quote
CJ Shearn Posted June 13, 2013 Author Report Posted June 13, 2013 LOL. He does have a good sense of humor on the "Live at the Open Theater East" DVD, I wish they released that as a CD b/c it's one of the best releases of that Trio, IMO. I could just turn the TV off and listen though. Does anyone do that with concert discs or Blu Ray's that play continuously? Quote
etherbored Posted June 13, 2013 Report Posted June 13, 2013 btw, "live at the open theater east" is, as i'm sure you know, from a japanese gig. not only would the trio be delirious from the very large check, keith would *never* try reproaching a japanese audience. then again, they'd never need reproaching, so... Quote
king ubu Posted June 13, 2013 Report Posted June 13, 2013 Yeah, one reason they don't need reproaching is that they seem to be polite enough to not fall for that silly collective compulsory coughing disorder (ha, one more c added, it's CCCD by now!) Quote
Scott Dolan Posted June 13, 2013 Report Posted June 13, 2013 Polite enough to not catch a cold, even! Quote
king ubu Posted June 13, 2013 Report Posted June 13, 2013 well, make that the cold-induced collective compulsory coughing disortder, then Quote
etherbored Posted June 13, 2013 Report Posted June 13, 2013 in fact. maybe keith is so inspired by the atmosphere the japanese audiences participate in evoking that he uses them as the standard... Quote
CJ Shearn Posted June 13, 2013 Author Report Posted June 13, 2013 Almost every jazz artist is inspired by the Japanese atmosphere. I want to visit very close friends there in a few years and seeing a gig there would be great. Quote
7/4 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Posted June 13, 2013 If he'd just get on with it and start banging away, no one would notice a sniffle. I'd love to see his reaction if you told him in person to start "banging away". I think we would quickly come to a mutual agreement that he should keep his distance. Quote
jlhoots Posted June 14, 2013 Report Posted June 14, 2013 Now listening to Bye Bye Blackbird CD. Quote
CJ Shearn Posted June 14, 2013 Author Report Posted June 14, 2013 Listening to "Up For It" now, which I still think is great despite the lukewarm reception when it was released. Quote
etherbored Posted June 14, 2013 Report Posted June 14, 2013 i'm a *H U G E * 'up for it' fan! it's the little album that could. it's not sparkling. it's not flashy by any means. obviiously, it's no 'standards live' or 'still live', but it has a spirit that resonantes with me. Quote
CJ Shearn Posted June 14, 2013 Author Report Posted June 14, 2013 Put the album cover under a black light, the light blue and orange font makes it turn electric LOL. Anyway yeah, that's always been a favorite of mine, lots of nice medium up grooving, and I think the title track vamp rivals "Autumn Leaves" on the Blue Note box. "Up For It" was reissued in Japan as an SHM CD, but I don't see the need, the original release sounds great. Also, "Yesterdays" I think is a lot better than when I first got it. Anyway, I did decide to grab "At the Deer Head Inn" and that should be here soon. Quote
etherbored Posted June 14, 2013 Report Posted June 14, 2013 well, i think there's more than a passing similarity, musically, or maybe in spirit, between the two, so i'm positive you'll be happy with it. Quote
CJ Shearn Posted June 14, 2013 Author Report Posted June 14, 2013 I have a sizable chunk of the trio's albums and all the DVD's but I still gotta grab "Standards Live", "Standards in Norway", "Tribute", "The Cure" and "Bye Bye Blackbird" at some point. I gave a few albums to a student in the jazz class I TA'ed who was a Jarrett freak, and then there was one time I had so much stuff the Complete Live at the BN box had to go but I'll get that second hand sometime. Great music. I think certain Jarrett trio albums fit my mood at a certain time, if I want something firey, I put on "Still Live", "Whisper Not", the first two albums or the "Open Theater East" and "Standards I/II" DVD's. For more introspective playing I think the "Tokyo '96" DVD, and "Yesterdays" fill the bill. "Up For It" and "My Foolish Heart" share a kinship in balanced playing, between hot and medium simmer. "Changes" and "Changeless" is my go to for the free side of the trio, though I felt "Inside Out" is more focused than "Always Let Me Go". Quote
etherbored Posted June 14, 2013 Report Posted June 14, 2013 no 'standards live' or 'the cure'? my two favorite! for non-standards material, i really like 'changeless'. does everyone know that record? it's a full length recording of the extended vamps or interludes and stands up very well, imo...
