Keith Jarrett/ The Melody at Night, With You/ 凱斯‧傑瑞特/ 夜未央

一九七Ο年代，在爵士樂最低迷寂寞的日子裡
他情感豐沛的鋼琴演奏，曾是樂迷極少數僅有的慰藉。

他在德國科隆的現場即興，名列爵士樂歷史上最重要的經典錄音之一。

近幾年來，以往叱吒風雲的奇斯‧傑瑞特為病魔所困
時好時壞的精神病變，讓這位鋼琴巨匠痛苦不堪
病發的時候，他形容說，疲憊到沒辦法去死 ( 『too tired to die』 )。

在健康狀況稍微緩和的時間裡
傑瑞特在家中的錄音室留下了《夜未央》

這是他獻給妻子Rose Ann 的作品。

» 演奏得極其唯美、單純，像是病痛讓他大澈大悟
傑瑞特緊緊抓住手中的時間，用鋼琴歌頌最簡單的浪漫
將感情毫不保留地傳達給他的摯愛。

Editorial Reviews

This solo recording is a fitting coda for Keith Jarrett’s more restrained, less prolific output in the 1990s. The fitful vamps and long, ruminative improvisations that made Jarrett a solo piano star in the ’70s are here either stillborn or tightly tethered to classic melodies from the likes of Gershwin and Ellington, yet there is not the slightest hint of repression. Instead, Jarrett sprinkles notes and brings the familiar strains of 『I Loves You, Porgy』 and 『Someone to Watch over Me』 to bloom with a dynamic but resonantly earth-toned vibrancy. Rarely has the pianist kept his music so simple and free of pageantry. Audible moans and shenanigans with the piano’s sustain pedal are held to a minimum, and even brawny, sing-along stuff like 『Shenandoah』 and 『My Wild Irish Rose』 never lapse into sloppy sentimentality–indeed, Jarrett’s two-handed caress of the latter song is so delicately self assured, the tune seems to play itself. Among the 10 tracks, only 『I Got It Bad and That Ain’t Good』 finds the pianist stretching into busy (but still crisp) extended passages. Yes, there are moments when Melody’s shimmering standards exude the glazed predictability of cocktail music in a hotel lobby. But those are far outnumbered by the cherished occasions when Jarrett’s romanticism rings true. –Britt Robson
