American jazz pianist Keith Jarrett’s solo double album was recorded in May 1976 after Jarrett and producer Manfred Eicher had arrived at Studio Davout in Paris to record a soundtrack to Michèle Rosier's film ‘Mon Coeur est rouge’. Finishing early with several hours of studio time left and impressed by the quality of the studio's piano, they spontaneously decided to record this album. Jarrett biographer Wolfgang Sandner called the album "an impressive study in sound" and an "unbelievable synthesis of sonic art” and commented: "There is no other Keith Jarrett recording that comes so close to achieving the pianistic ideal of lyricism as does this astounding album."
Condition: Cleaned/Played*. Very Good Plus vinyl has only occasional background noise, with overall excellent playback. The cover is intact, with some delamination, minor exterior marks and slight edge wear having been stored in a protective sleeve. Part of the inside gatefold has adhered to the sleeve (see photos). I appreciate these descriptions are subjective and happy to accept domestic
returns (buyer pays postage) if you feel description doesn't match your views.
*Your stylus will continue to pick up dust in the grooves when playing. In all cases, please check stylus for dust before playing side 2.
