Rudresh Mahanthappa's Indo-Pak Coalition is a boundary-pushing trio—featuring Mahanthappa (alto sax), Rez Abbasi (guitar), and Dan Weiss (drums, tabla)—that fuses jazz with Indian classical music.

A brilliant trumpeter with an impressive catalogue of remarkable albums — this one, for instance, is a personal favorite.

Edit: I forgot to mention — Clifford Jordan, whom forum members have been listening to lately, also plays on this album.

I was going to say I don't think I've heard this early Jarrett before, but seeing it starts with a Bob Dylan cover I know for sureI haven't heard it.

Picked up as part of this 5cd pack, the other four I'd owned many years ago:

It's You or No One. Dexter Gordon, Live At The Village Vanguard. Great drums by Louis Hayes.

The Mourning of a Star is my favorite Jarrett album.

Keith Jarrett's Mourning of a Star is an interesting album. Still in search of his own voice, he explores various directions. He hasn't quite found it yet though. Unlike Restoration Ruin, it's not as outlandish, and its charm lies in its youthful energy and sense of freshness.

I've not seen that cover, but it is probably the original iteration. 

Something I really like about Jarrett, and respect, is that he vastly preferred recording live gigs (which he almost always did, especially later in his career) instead of going into the studio to make "a record." 

And because of that fact, he has a large backlog of unreleased music, which is fortunate now that he no longer performs in public because of health reasons.  A new solo concert will be released on the 25th of this month from his 2016 European tour.

Miles Davis : Someday My Prince Will Come
released on December 11, 1961 by Columbia Records. Recorded at Columbia's 30th Street Studio in Manhattan, New York City

Mostly I listen to either the First or the Second Great Quintet.  But these "transitional" years have some truly great albums.  This being one.
