Never-heard music from the mighty Keith Jarrett – performances recorded in the mid 80s, and featuring Jarrett working in a mix of jazz and classical styles that's pretty darn great! The first piece is Samuel Barber's "Piano Concerto Op 38", performed with the Rundfunk Sinfonieorchester, conducted by Dennis Russell Davies – but Jarrett's performance brings an edge and sense of air that recalls some of his own compositions for larger groups from the 70s, especially with Davie at the helm.


Next is Bela Bartok's "Piano Concerto No 3", recorded in Japan with the New Japan Philharmonic, Kazuyoshi Akiyama conducting – a piece that's full of tremendous color and light in Jarrett's hands, maybe more so than we remember from other recordings of the work. Last up is a solo Jarrett improvisation from the same performance – a really lovely, lyrical tune titled "Nothing But A Dream".
