Movie Reviews of Keith Jarrett - Art of Improvisation
Movie Review: A Study of Keith Jarrett - Part II
Summary: 5 Stars
There are few musicians who have intrigued me as much as Keith Jarrett. His music is stunningly beautiful all while capturing the heart and awakening the soul. The first time I watched him play the piano (Last Solo 1984), it was quite the experience. He is a musician in motion and doesn't sit still for a moment.
In this 2005 illuminating discussion on Keith Jarrett's life, he has mellowed and yet still retains his true love for improvisation. There is an extended interview and extra interviews. Keith Jarrett is seen blissfully jamming with Miles Davis and you can almost say both were in heaven when playing on the same stage. They connected and influenced each other all while seeking to understand their outstanding talents.
How does Keith Jarrett explain his "art of improvisation." He truly seems to live the experience and can't explain how he accomplishes such excellence, except that he is fully focused in the moment, almost channeling music. The musicians interviewed from the Trio also seem to express ideas about the magical qualities of how they produce beauty through a spontaneous fusion of talent.
Not only does this DVD explain how musicians think, it explores how they struggle to achieve greatness even in the face of being human. When Keith Jarrett became ill he struggled to play the piano, but managed to create one of the most sublime and romantic CDs I've ever heard. The soul comforting elements in "Melody at Night" are enhanced by the story that unfolds in this journey of his life. We meet his wife, see how concerts evolve and there is a short "Trio" concert.
One of my friends is madly in love with Keith Jarrett's music and I plan to listen to as much as I can. He recently went to a concert and I am left to dream that one day I'll see a live concert too. The Trio is relaxing to listen to, but I think just watching Keith Jarrett play alone on a stage with just a piano is enlightening. By watching him play I have learned a great deal about music in a short amount of time. Watching his interviews gives insight into the heart of a musician who is tuned into the magic of creation and almost seems to channel beauty.
