Honestly sir Corno Dolce
Are there things in our western societies at all, you don´t know about. The living encyclopedia from Oceania. Thanks - A 1000 bucks. Right.
Incredible isn´t it, thinking back in history. When the mono radio, the turntable, and then tape recorder were invented. Then the TV and the colour TV, HiFi Stereo systems, video-player and recorder/camera, surround sound system, the PC, CD´s, DVD´s, iPod - download all we want. It changes faster and faster. And we the people, the always hungry for new stuff regular customers, the latest of anything, we always dig in and pay, pay, pay.
Perhaps it´s time for me to begin to sing acapella again. :lol::lol::lol::lol:

"Setting Standards" by Keith Jarrett.
Dearest Intet,
There is so terribly much that I don't know and I am painfully aware of that I know that I don't know very much. We can always choose to not "keep up with the Joneses" - ergo, follow the flock and shop till you drop.
With each passing year I find that those who are happiest are the ones with skills to create something of value, not necessarily monetarily, something that will bring joy to someone else - like music - performed or composed.
Having a skill to create something with ones own hand shows the Love you have inside your own heart, mind, body, and soul. Creation is Love and people respond positively when they sense something that has been done with Love.
Cheers,
CD

Back on topic on a stormy saturday morning.
"The Complete Recordings" by The Standards Trio. Live at The Blue Note Jazz Club, N.Y.C., USA from Friday June 3 - Sunday June 5, ECM Records 1994.
On this 6 CD set, including 3 concerts 1. and 2. set every night at The Blue Note Jarrett, Peacock and DeJohnette improvises on all the known jazz standards we already know by the trio live to a small VIP audience. The whole set was quite expensive for me, but man it´s good. You just can´t take one of the CD´s and title it the best. It´s a revalation of equillibrism on the piano, the double bass and the drums - groovy!!
But if forced, I would choose the CD from Saturday June 4 - 2. set, the two songs: "Things Ain´t What They Used To Be" and "How Deep Is The Ocean".

I remembered yesterday there was an article in www.allaboutjazz.com about a year ago or something like that about the collection of songs for the now released 3 CD album, we talked about only released for the US market.
In January 1983 the trio recorded an album with the ECM Records released in 1984, which was not ordinary standard trio material. The name of the album "Changes" had three songs on it - improvised at the recording studio The Power Station, N.Y.C.: 1) Flying Part 1 - 2) Flying Part 2 - 3) Prism
An almost equal album was done after the same principles "Changeless" from 1987 recorded live this time from four different cities in the USA, released by the ECM 1989. The cities were Denver - Dallas - Lexington - Houston, but again not original standards trio material.
The idea on this album during an ordinary standards trio concert (if one can use the word ordinary about any concert with this trio) to continue the search from "Changes" on one improvised song during each of these four concerts. So the album have four improvised songs 1) Dancing - 2) Endless - 3) Lifeline - 4) Ecstacy.
You will notice Jack DeJohnette on this album "Changeless" uses clubs much more than on other albums, and all four songs are more meditative than on ordinary Standards Trio albums.
On the album "Changes" there is an excepts from a poem in the liner notes by the Italian author Rainer Maria Rilke:
"If I don´t manage to fly, someone else will.
The Spirit wants only that there be flying.
As for who happens to do it,
in that he has only a passing interest", end of quote.
The real original full poem is a part of a lot of short poems titled - The Sonnets to Orpheus.
You may find it under Rainer Maria Rilke on the net. Just thought you should know.

Hello Intet,
Thanx for sharing. Rilke, born into the Jewish Entz-Kinzelberger clan was a Germanic poet and saw the light of day in Prague 1875, became a citizen of Austria and died in Switzerland. Prague was still a part of the Austro-Hungarian empire. That empire was dissolved in 1918 at the end of WW I. So I doubt that he is Italian

French Raves for Jarrett Box
As previously noted, ECM celebrates the 25th anniversary of the trio of Keith Jarrett, Gary Peacock and Jack DeJohnette by re-releasing their first three albums as a specially-priced limited edition box set, accompanied by a booklet with rare photos and an insightful essay by Swiss jazz writer Peter Rüedi. “Setting Standards” revisits “Standards Vol. I”, “Standards II” and “Changes”, recordings made in New York’s Power Station in January 1983.
The French press, always keen to analyze Jarrett, is already dedicating large articles to this reisssue and the trio’s jubilee. The weekly “L’express”, exploring the “story of a success”, observes that “these original albums haven’t lost any of their freshness” and concludes: “In questions of balance between the musicians involved and of sheer inventiveness, these three discs have no equal today.” “Il y a 25 ans, Keith Jarrett faisait sa révolution” reads the headline of Bertrand Dicale’s full-page article for the daily “Le Figaro”. The French journalist suggests that these three records may have represented the “last true revolution” in jazz, leaving no doubt that they amount “to one of the most abrupt and decisive changes of perspective in jazz’s history.”
The trio’s 25th anniversary concerts include a number of dates in the US: Newark, New Jersey (February 2), Los Angeles (March 5), San Francisco (March 8), Philadelphia (September19), and New York (October 18).

Good old fashioned ragtime and Louis Armstrong. That kind of music brings
me back to a time when you did the Charliston and wore other fashions
from the roaring 20's.

Hello Dearest Intet,
Please, I'm no more master than my rubber galoshes
I do so heartily thank you for clueing me in on "French Raves For Jarrett Box".
Yes, yes, and yes - I do thoroughly agree with the assertion "Last True Revolution". Of course, many Jazz artisans have evolved and stalked down different paths than Jarrett but I surmise that "Jarrett and the Standards" have raised the bar so high and so definitively. Lets face it: To compose an excellent melody that will withstand the test of time is a most difficult enterprise.
For example: when we hear "Autumn Leaves" and all the many improvisational iterations by different Jazzers we can conclude that the aforementioned melody is a "standard". For want of another word, let me use the term "Jazz Hymnography" which I shall define as a collection of Jazz Melodies from which a Jazzer can freely improvise. Of course, that hymnography doesn't have to be limited to melodies from only the twentieth century. Leonard Bernstein and Jacques Loussier prove you can take a melody from JSBach and do a jazz improv on them.
Cheers,
CD
ps. Back on topic: The Köln Concerts by Keith Jarrett.
pps. A sad note about Rilke: His own mother dressed him up as a girl and had him act like one during his single-digit years. :scold::scold::scold::scold::scold::scold::scold:

Hi Corno Dolce,
Quite interesting what you wrote. So Bernstein plays jazz? I didn't know that. I will certainly do some searching in order to find some fine recordings. But maybe you could recommend something or show me direction?
P.S Have you listened to Loussier's impressions on Chopin and Bach yet? I bet you'll like it.
Respectfully,
Mat

Hello Mat,
I'm still waiting for the order to be fulfilled. In the meantime I got that CD which I wrote about earlier with the Pekinel sisters and the Trio. They play the Bach Concerto for three pianos in D-minor, Concerto for two pianos in C-minor, Concerto for two pianos in C-major, and Jesus bleibet meine Freude. I'm crazy about the whole album and so is my Lady.
Check out this url for Bernstein:
