At The Deer Head Inn

Keith Jarrett, Gary Peacock, Paul Motian

“The music has the dash and the unabashed lyricism of Keith Jarrett’s best work” wrote Stereophile in a rave-review of this first selection from the intimate Deer Head Inn live recording, capturing Jarrett’s spontaneous and in retrospect historic return to the Pennsylvanian venue of his early years, alongside Gary Peacock and Paul Motian.
 
The album is also released on vinyl, as part of the limited 4-LP box set At The Deer Head Inn – The Complete Recordings.

A winning contemporary jazz combination captured on top form.

In der Dichte des Zusammenspiels und der Vielfalt motivischer Einfälle ist auch diese Ausgabe des Jarrett-Trios unübertroffen gut.

Le tout est fabuleux, et Jarrett un génie.
Christophe Passer, Le Nouveau Quotidien
 
This live recording specializes in intimacy. Close your eyes and listen to this album; you’d swear you were at the Deer Head Inn, sipping on scotch, holding hands with your special friend, and sniffing the humid foggy air.

Jarrett seems in particularly good spirits on this date.
Willard Jenkins, Jazztimes
 
A compendium of grace.
Zan Stewart, Los Angeles Times
 
Jarrett plays with an inspired blend of freedom and structure, an approach that allows him to virtually reinvent the tunes without ever losing the listener en route. Needless to say, it’s also exquisitely played, but by now, that’s almost a given with Jarrett.
