waxing endlessly ecstatic
#1
Allow me the pleasure of dropping in for a moment to wax ecstatic... I recently bought (and have been busy wearing out) a musical CD entitled "Changeless", whose four tracks are entitled 'Dancing', 'Endless', 'Lifeline' and 'Ecstasy'. It is simply the finest piece of music performance I have ever heard.

I first heard the fellow at the piano when his solo "Koln Concert" aired on an AOL streaming jazz channel at work and I could only write down the name and hope to find it later. (I did.) In the interim, I also found the incredibly creative "The Moth and the Flame" (also solo piano). It joins some of Coltrane's work for its ability to get the most out of playing the same note repeatedly; it sounds boring, but this fellow is seemingly impeccable. Keith Jarrett was a child prodigy and has gone on to master classical, jazz and improvisation. His trio mates Gary Peacock on double bass and Jack DeJohnette on drums are also recognized masters, as is the trio as a whole. The album is totally pure improvisation, is primal, meditative, and... well, words fail me. I am in awe of this pianist and his colleagues.
