Keith Jarrett - Rio

On April 9, 2011 Keith Jarrett returned to South America for the first time in decades to perform three solo concerts. The third and final concert found him in Rio de Janeiro in front of a packed house and enthralled audience. Inspired by the electrifying atmosphere, the pianist pulls a broad range of material from the ether, thoughtful / reflective pieces, abstract sound-structures, pieces that fairly vibrate with energy. The double album climaxes with a marvelous sequence of encores.. 40 years ago this year, Keith Jarrett recorded his first ECM disc, the ground-breaking, solo piano FACING YOU. He has refined his approach to solo music many timers since then, always finding new things to play.
