Keith Jarrett 'Hymns Spheres' - A re-read of Ian Carr's well-written but overtly sycophantic Jarrett biog has sent me back to some long-unplayed records: a mostly enjoyable experience particularly where 'In The Light', the European Quartet and early solo piano sets are concerned. But the real wow moment came with this quite magnificent and unique double LP of baroque organ improvisations where Jarrett's innovative employment of organ stops produces sounds more akin to early Tangerine Dream and Popol Vuh than anything remotely old fashioned or Bachian. Desperately needs a proper CD reissue;


indeed, great stuff
cd is abridged if I remember

Peter Hamel did something similar in the 80's

It is amazing how seriously Jarrett
(and others took) himself in the 70's
