Best Keith Jarrett records

All,
What a terrific list of suggestions and posts; thank you so very much! I hope I'm not imagining it, but I believe I saw "Nude Ants," and "Hymns Spheres" in the store. I will check later this week. I saw some of his performances on youtube and his grunting didn't seem to bother me that much, but then again it was youtube, not my system.

I will share with you what I find. Happy holidays and happy listening!

It was the one where he had laryngitis and couldn't sing and moan along as he played.

For ANY artist: check "allmusic . com" for great reviews, and ratings of an artists works.
Excellent.

Surprisingly no one mentioned KJ's work with "the European Quartet", which predats his Jazz trio work. I personally prefer the queartet over the trio. My favorite recordings of the European Quartet are the albums "my song" and "personal mountains". Check them out - very different from the trio work - more innovative in my view.

Second, from the very large solo improvisation concerts catalogue, the 2009 PAris/London (testament) recording is very good. Additionally, if you are into computer audio, the album is downloadable from HD Tracks in 96/24 high rez, and the sound quality is unsurpassed.

I love The Out of Towners, At the Blue Note, My Song, and many others.
