That someone can improvise this is just incredible to me.

Makes me want to play the piano too.

As I just PMed you - Jarrett's The Melody At Night With You has to be your next stop. Then Bill Evans esp with Scott LaFaro (my rec.: Sunday at the Village Vanguard). But as I just told you this, this post is not for you!

Here's Jarrett in the same standard. Incredible. Though I think he plays it even better, more intimately and closer to the clip you posted on the album I referred to above.


eidt - hmm, maybe not! This is pretty incredible. Jarrett's improvs, when written out, have so much motivic integrity, like a pre-composed piece, it is just jaw-dropping. I think one senses that in this performance.
