Keith Jarrett - The Köln Concert

P.S Welcome to our new member, ozzball:wave:

Geez Corno Dolce?

Did you have a bad day, since you could forget the two other sponsors and particular Keith Jarrett addicts. How can I help you?

ozzball :tiphat::wave:

You´re most welcome here ozzball on this exclusive jazz thread. Being a fan of Keith Jarrett as you mentioned is not a bad thing at all here, though we listen to all sorts of jazz from Benny Goodman, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis to Pat Metheny. Big Bands or trios, it´s all the same here. We´re jazz addicts, though my two colleagues The Magician from Oceania equals Corno Dolce and Mat also play exquisite classical music. But you´ll soon find out.

So nice with new blood in this thread, you´re most welcome ozzball. Btw. the second album by The Standards Trio that you mentioned, is a favourite of mine as well.

Hey Intet,

No, I didn't have a bad day - just an ordinary day :grin::grin::grin:

Cheers,

On topic:

The third album by The Standards Trio Live. The last song on the album is "The Old Country", released by ECM Records 1986.

We all know the musicians, however should anyone just happen to look into this thread: Keith Jarrett (piano), Gary Peacock (double bass) and Jack DeJohnette (drums).

This song "The Old Country", I suddenly one day heard in a commercial add on the swedish TV Channel 3. An add on behalf of a certain Danish insurance company. Funny, they had chosen The Standards Trio. But this particular song to me personally has always made a straight forward impression on me. One could say that every standard song ever played and recorded by the trio, is roomed in this song "The Old Country" IMHO

But facts are that both Keith Jarrett and Pat Metheny songs or music often are used as background music on TV documentories.

I saw a Danish TV program about new fathers at the delivery room some years ago in the mid. 1990´s. It had Keith Jarrett´s "Køln" solo piano concert as background music, and about 14 months ago, there was a program on the Discovery Channel about the Amazon indians, where the background music was the album by Pat Metheny (acoustic/electric 6-12 string guitars, el. bass), Lyle Mays (piano, syntheziser, organ and autoharp) with the brazilian Nana Vasconcelos (drums and brazilian percussion instruments) on the "As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls", ECM Records 1981. The first looooong song the title song 20:42

The late jazz master drummer Tony Williams on his album "Lifetime", Blue Note Records 1999.

The musicians:

TW (drums, tympani, wood blocks, maracas, triangle), Herbie Hancock (piano), Bobby Hutcherson (vibes, marimba), Sam Rivers (tenor saxophone), Gary Peacock/Ron Carter/Richard Davis.

Tony Williams was born in 1945 in Chicago, Ill., USA. In a very short time during his teens from the age of 14, when TW entered the Sam Rivers group in 1959, over the Jackie McLean group in 1962 to end up being picked by Miles Davis in 1963 at the of age of 18. From then on TW developed a very special drum style using the cymbals much more and very loud, which spread in jazz circles like a brush fire. Jack DeJohnette had TW for an idol on the drums.

Tony Williams became the esteemated member of the famous Miles Davis Quintet feat. Wayne Shorter (tenor and soprano saxophone), Ron Carter (double bass) and Herbie hancock (piano) in the years 1963 to the last album from this incredible quintet "In A Silent Way" by Columbia Jazz 1969.

From then he played with the Erilc Dolphy Group (alto saxphone, bass clarinet, flute) on the album "Out To Lunch", Blue Note Records 1964, and later the same year with Andrew Hill (piano) on "Point Of Departure", Blue Note Records 1964, while having his own band with the name The Tony Williams Lifetime, among the members we find John Mclaughlin (guitars) and Larry Young (organ) from 1969-73.

From 1973 to the middle of 1975, TW did not record nor perform. Just before Christmas 1975, TW reorganized his group to The New Tony Williams Lifetime with Alan Holdsworth (guitars) and Alan Pasqua (piano, keyboards) in a more rock/funky way. In 1976-83, TW was part of the Herbie Hancock group V.S.O.P. for instance on the album "The Quintet", Columbia Jazz 1977 and at the same time he played with the Herbie Hancock Trio with Ron Carter on the double bass.

From the beginning of 1980 TW went back to studying composition and formed a new quintet feat. Wallace Roney (trumpet), Bobby Hutcherson (vibes, marimba), Mulgrew Miller (piano) and Ron Carter (double bass).

In 1990 he formed a new style of music and played with the Kronos String Quartet with Herbie Hancock too. As a composer TW was influenced by Aaron Copland and Gershwin. In 1995 he disolved the group and carried on with a trio feat. Mulgrew Miller (piano) and Ira Coleman (double bass).

As a drummer Tony Williams influenced hundreds of later drummers like Jack DeJohnette, Billy Cobham, Alphonzo Muzon, Lenny White, Billy Hart, Peter Erskine, and Alex Riel in Denmark etc.etc. His playing/riding on the huge rhytm cymbal has been copyed by hundreds of equaly talented drummers since then among the very best Jack DeJohnette.

Albums by Tony Williams: "Life Time" and "Spring" both oby the Blue Note Records 1964-65. "Emergency", by Polydor 1969. "Collection" and "Believe It", by Columbia Jazz 1975. "Foreign Intrigue" and "Native Heart" by the Blue Note Records 1985 and 1989. "The Story Of Neptune" and "Angel Street" on Blue Note records as well 1991-92. "Wilderness", by Ark21, 1996 and "Young At Heart", by Columbia Jazz 1996.

Tony Williams passed away on 02/23/1997 and left a legacy as a drummer behind him.

ps. I wrote a note to your query about Fisher King.

Dear compadre sir Corno Dolce

Thank you for the Fisher King query. As for the rest about Doctor Freud, you definitely do not need that. But as you say, it´s water over the dam.

 

[Corno Dolce]

Hi Intet,

Thanx for your kindly intentions.

Back on topic: "The Out-Of-Towners" by the Standards Trio.
