Treasure Island - Keith Jarrett (1974)
ideated from: 1974 was a great year for jazz
I hadn’t realized that Jarrett’s other 1974 release, Belonging, featured Jan Garbarek and the rhythm section from the Garbarek record I just wrote up. It just shows that I’m right, I think, about 1974 being such a deep year for jazz releases.
This is what they call Jarrett’s “American Quartet,” featuring sax great Dewey Redman and two guys I seldom shut up about, Charlie Haden and Paul Motian (also o_o)
As with any of Jarrett’s music, it’s both highly improvised and yet extremely well organized.
Spontaneous creation is an amazing thing, and the band know each other well enough to facilitate it.
