Jasmine
Jarrett, Keith & Haden, Charlie
Beskrivning:Pianisten Keith Jarrett och basisten Charlie Haden hade inte spelat tillsammans på 30 år när den här duoplattan kom till i svallvågorna efter en dokumentär om Haden. Den är delvis inspelad hemma hos Jarrett. I häftet text av Jarrett.
"...The tapes sat -- though were discussed often -- for three years before a decision was made to release them. Jarrett used his home Steinway instead of his usual concert Boisendorfer. The more immediate, present sound of the former piano makes for something less dynamic than his live performances. And here, with the sheer natural grace and unhurried elegance of Haden's earthy bass playing, that is a great thing. Jasmine is love songs; most are standards. Haden not only supports but solos a great deal. Picking out highlights....is difficult because the dry warmth of these performances is multiplied by deeply intuitive listening and the near symbiotic, telepathic nature of the playing. The entire proceeding flows seamlessly....After a devastatingly sad reading Gordon Jenkins' "Goodbye" with Jarrett at his most poignant and clean, a brief reading of Jerome Kern's and Oscar Hammerstein's "Don't Ever Leave Me" closes the set. The way it's played, this tune is not a plea, but a poetically uttered assertion between lovers. Jasmine is, ultimately, jazz distilled to its most essential; it not only expresses emotion and beauty, but discovers them in every moment of its performance." (Thom Jurek, allmusic.com)
