Yasmin Williams: Tiny Desk Concert


For those who (like I) were wondering what she's playing, it's a Skytop Grand Concert; Skytop is the brand name used by luthier Eric Weigeshoff of New Paltz, NY.

What I think is the finest "Fire On The Mountain" I've ever heard - with the freakiest visuals yet from YT's Jam Band Videos channel (though perhaps a bit much right now for those in SoCal.....)

Keith Jarrett, The Köln Concert
A former GF was a keyboardist (got her Bachelor's in Harpsichord Performance), and had this album.  It was the first jazz that caught my ear (and that had nothing to do with what we got up to when baked and listening to it......)

I have his Bremen / Lausanne concerts, which was recorded around the same time, performed in the same completely improvised style, and is equally amazing.

Hands down, my favorite jazz pianist. Although the Lausanne-Bremen and Koln concerts are amazing, people should also check out the Sun Bear Concerts and trio and quartet work Jarrett has done with Jan Garbarek, Dave Holland, Jack DeJonette, Gary Peacock, etc. Amazing output over the years despite experiencing chronic fatigue syndrome and such a shame that the strokes he had put and end to his musical career.

I discovered in the comments last night that he showed up at the venue in Köln and found, in place of the high-end piano his contract called for, a crappy one, out of tune and with a broken pedal.  He almost cancelled.  They got it tuned, but he stayed on the middle keys the whole time because the high & low registers were so fecal sounding.
Makes it even more amazing, I think.

Yes; I have the double album "Tribute" with DeJohnette and Peacock, wonderful takes on jazz standards including this gem, which back long ago I used to think was over covered, but this version is absolutely beautiful.

Digging the Delvon Lamarr stuff. Nice bass pedal work! And I am appropriately pricing a flight case for a Leslie 122 as I listen.  ;D

Hey Peter , I thoroughly enjoyed Matt Anderson 😀  I was reminded of Avi Kaplan
