Concerts (Keith Jarrett album)

Concerts is a triple solo piano album by Keith Jarrett recorded in concert on May 28, 1981 at the Festspielhaus in Bregenz, Austria and on June 2, 1981 at the Herkulessaal in Munich, West Germany. It was originally released in September 1982 by ECM Records[1] as a 3-LP set (ECM 1227-29) [3] and also as a single LP including only the Bregenz performance (ECM 1228).[4]. It was not until 2013 that, for the first time, ECM released a full 3-CD reissue containing both concerts.

Reception

The Allmusic review by Richard S. Ginell awarded the album 3 stars and states, "This set is not to be confused with the earlier, more consistently inspired Solo Concerts triple album which made Jarrett a star, yet the pianist was far from tapped out in these performances. Jarrett is often in his best lyrically funky form... this is far more interesting and elevated music-making than that of the New Age navel-gazing imitators cropping up in Jarrett's wake in the early '80s".[5]

gollark: Why are you *deliberately obfuscating your code*?!
gollark: `peripheral.find("modem", rednet.open)` - kind of hacky but works.
gollark: ```luarn = function() sides = {"right","left","top","bottom","front","back"} sides_raw = {"right","left","top","bottom","front","back"} for i=1, #sides do sides[i] = peripheral.getType(sides_raw[i]) if sides[i] == "modem" then rednet.open(sides_raw[i]) print("Rednet Open on "..sides_raw[i].." Side") end endend```WHY
gollark: And then the same thing but with background color...
gollark: ```luac = function(a) if term.isColor() == true then if a == 0 then term.setTextColor(colours.white) elseif a == 1 then term.setTextColor(colours.orange) elseif a == 2 then term.setTextColor(colours.magenta) elseif a == 3 then term.setTextColor(colours.lightBlue) elseif a == 4 then term.setTextColor(colours.yellow) elseif a == 5 then term.setTextColor(colours.lime) elseif a == 6 then term.setTextColor(colours.pink) elseif a == 7 then term.setTextColor(colours.grey) elseif a == 8 then term.setTextColor(colours.lightGrey) elseif a == 9 then term.setTextColor(colours.cyan) elseif a == "a" then term.setTextColor(colours.purple) elseif a == "b" then term.setTextColor(colours.blue) elseif a == "c" then term.setTextColor(colours.brown) elseif a == "d" then term.setTextColor(colours.green) elseif a == "e" then term.setTextColor(colours.red) elseif a == "f" then term.setTextColor(colours.black) elseif a == "red" then c("e") elseif a == "orange" then c(1) elseif a == "yellow" then c(4) elseif a == "green" then c("d") elseif a == "blue" then c("b") elseif a == "purple" then c("a") elseif a == "black" then c("f") elseif a == "white" then c(0) end endend```?!?!?!?
