Most effective, perhaps, are the distance shots where Jarrett and his piano are surrounded by darkness-mirroring, perhaps, Jarrett’s own sense of total self-absorption during the creative process. In fact, more so than any previous solo performances released on video, Kawachi manages to achieve the impossible-make one man and a piano on a stage a thoroughly compelling watch time and again. Kawachi, in fact, leaves no detail unexamined, whether it be Jarrett’s pedal work or the clear way in which, while he many not be thinking in a normal way while improvising, decisions are being made moment-to-moment. From distance shots of Jarrett to full-on closeups of both his face and his hands, director Kanama Kawachi captures the performance in ways that exceed what would be possible being a member of the audience. Being able to take advantage of DVD’s higher resolution, as sonically excellent as Jarrett’s CD releases have been, here his piano is so rich, so present, so immediate that you truly feel as though you’re in the concert hall with the rest of the audience. And while Jarrett, who can be an animated performer and often vocalizes his ideas in ways that some find difficult to take, is reasonably subdued here-at least compared to those earlier DVD/video releases.īut what is most immediately striking is the quality of the sound. The music, like that on Radiance, is impeccable-perhaps even surpassing the show from three days earlier. It’s also the first DVD to be released by ECM, and the same degree of artistic quality that has been de rigueur for the label since inception is exactly what you get with this DVD.

It’s Jarrett’s first solo performance to be released on video since Solo Tribute, which captured a 1987 performance of mostly standards, and Last Solo, from a 1984 solo performance that was more in keeping with his traditional stream-of-consciousness methodology. Radiance was culled primarily from an Octoperformance in Osaka, Japan, but the second disc also featured four tracks from a Tokyo performance three nights later, and it’s the entire Tokyo performance that makes up the DVD Tokyo Solo. These pieces could be as long as fifteen minutes and as short as barely a minute.īut on Radiance it became clear that not only did this new approach work for Jarrett, it in many ways reinvigorated his approach to solo performance, making that record one of the best solo records of his entire career. Thank you!īut in 2002 Jarrett returned to solo work with a new approach that managed to address the problems of continuous performance by working in smaller chunks, but conceptually building each successive piece from what came before. The rigours of his traditional solo shows-hour-long or more continuous performances of spontaneous composition drawn from the ether-seemed beyond his reach, with an unsatisfying attempt to return to solo performance in the early part of the decade suggesting to Jarrett that perhaps those days were gone for good, despite his becoming stronger and healthier with each passing year. Still, from 1999 through 2002 Jarrett returned to the concert stage almost always accompanied by his longstanding trio partners, bassist Gary Peacock and Jack DeJohnette. Clearly Jarrett may have been down, but he was by no means out. While ECM, his label for over 30 years, had enough material in the can to fill the gap while Jarrett battled with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, it was with the release of an uncharacteristically spare home recording of standards, The Melody at Night, With You (ECM, 1999), that Jarrett fans were able to breathe a sigh of relief. When piano icon Keith Jarrett released Radiance (ECM, 2005), it signalled a welcome return to solo performance, something that was curtailed from the mid-1990s through 2002 as a result of a serious health issue that, at times, had Jarrett himself wondering whether he’d ever be able to play again.
