#137: Keith Jarrett Trio - Still LiveThe agutierrezb 2019 record collection challenge
So I've decided to embark on my own personal challenge, which consists of listening every record in my collection before the end of the year. My record collection is not that big -only ~250-, but I still feel like there are a bunch of records I don't give enough attention to, while still adding more titles to my shelves.
For this reason I've set a couple of rules in order to play every record at least once before December 31st: I'll play at least one record a day, going from front to back in the way I have them sorted in my shelf. I can play a different record (i.e. Not the next one in alphabetical order) if I feel like listening to something else in any given moment, but at least one of the records I spin in the day has to be the LP in turn.
I didn't take pictures for the first two days, but I'll try to document the process from here on, so I'll be posting daily on this thread. Wish me luck!
This album is my favorite by Jarrett, and one of the records in my collection I cherrish the most. It was actually my first (or maybe second?) KJ album, and I picked it up on the wild without knowing a thing about his "Standards Trio", but as soon as I got home and placed it on my turntable I was blown away by the music coming out of my speakers. This is not one of Jarrett's most celebrated albums, and but there is just something about the intricate interplay these men display here, each bringing their unique musical voice to build complex structures in which the whole is much more than the sum of its parts. This may sound as sacrillege to some, but the performances on this album blow out of the water anything Bill Evans ever recorded with his trio.
