Music reviews of My Foolish Heart
Music Review: Inspired to write another review
Rating: 4 Stars
It's unfortunate but sometimes I am inspired to write a review for the wrong reason. The right reason would be the product in question (in this the case, "Keith Jarrett/ Live at Montreux"). But as has been the case before, I am driven to write a review because of someone's else's review(s). Some reviewers have flippantly criticized stride piano playing and Jarrett's choice to include the Fats Waller tribute of sorts on this CD, someone actually went as far as to call it wedding music!?? (this is got to be the most absurd comment of them all, unless you include when he mentions his mother). Firstly, the fact that stride piano isn't in style anymore is irrelevant. I love stride piano and always have (Fats Waller in particular). As a professional pianist, I can attest to the extreme technical difficulties involved in playing good stride piano. It requires strength, endurance, and impeccable time. Not to mention, when it's done well, it swings like mad. Jarrett does an admirable job made all the more interesting by the fact that this is a real departure for him. I am mostly familiar with his trio things and I haven't heard him ever approach a standard like this (with the exception of "Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams" from the "Whisper Not" disc which isn't on a level with the three stride like numbers from this disc). Of course stride piano is usually performed solo but there are a fair amount of Tatum and Waller tracks that were recorded with a group. Jarrett's trio really does put their own spin on this and it swings. Just ignore the aforementioned reviewers. They are doing anyone that might purchase this cd a disservice.
The rest of the CD is also excellent. Only complaint from me would be the sound. A little boomy at times, and occasionally the bass gets lost. In addition, the drums sound a little unbalanced. One drum (can't tell which one) sounds particularly loud in comparison to everything else. The "Still Live" CD (also by Jarrett) is plagued by similar recording issues, so much so that it is at times unlistenable (not to mention musically inferior). "My Foolish Heart" shares the same problem in regards to the sound although it's not nearly as much as an issue here. Aside from that, this CD is still highly recommended. I don't think I've ever heard these guys swing harder than they do on "Oleo", "The Song is You" and "Four" in particular (although the version of "I love You" from the "Out of Towners" CD is also just as amazing). Also, "Only the Lonely" is gorgeous. On a level with Sinatra's version.
Again, try to ignore the negative reviews here. They are written by people who are either deaf, or just ignorant (and that includes their mothers). It's like Ive always said,- "that's the problem with an opinion, anyone can have one"
Description of My Foolish Heart
The 25th AnniversaryJazz's greatest piano trio. This is the best way to describe the 25-year partnership between Keith Jarrett, Gary Peacock and Jack DeJohnette. They are an institution of jazz and My Foolish Heart is their 18th recording, all on ECM. The double album was recorded live at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 2001 and is an exhilarating and playful performance which romps through the history of jazz as the trio plays pieces by Fats Waller, Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, Gerry Mulligan and more, as well as a scattering of show tunes and standards from the Great American Songbook. This album is - in terms of the musical range addressed - one of the most comprehensive in the discography of Jarrett, Peacock and DeJohnette. This fall, ECM is also releasing a speciallypriced 3-CD box set of the first recording session that the Keith Jarrett, Gary Peacock and Jack DeJohnette ever made together. Setting Standards is a combined reissue of Standards Vol. I, Standards Vol. II and Changes, the three albums recorded in one session at New York's Power Station in 1983. The albums have been remastered in 24bit/192kHz and the box set will include new liner notes and archival photos.
