Tracks list

This gargantuan package – a ten-LP set now compressed into a chunky
six-CD box – once was derided as the ultimate ego trip, probably by many
who didnt take the time to hear it all. You have to go back to Art Tatums solo
records for Norman Granz in the 50s to find another large single outpouring of
solo jazz piano like this, all of it improvised on the wing before five Japanese
audiences in Kyoto, Osaka, Nagoya, Tokyo, and Sapporo. Yet the miracle is how
consistently good much of this giant box is.

In the opening Kyoto concert, Jarretts gospel-driven muse is in full play, up to
the level of his peak solo performances in Bremen and Koln, and the Osaka and
Nagoya concerts have pockets of first-rate, often folk-like, even profound,
lyrical ideas. The Tokyo concert takes a while to get in gear, but when Jarrett
finally locks into one of his grooving vamps, he carries us along, and there is
a memorably melodic encore. In Sapporo, Jarrett breaks from a nicely flowing
pattern into a jumpy rhythm that reminds one of C&W guitar fingerpicking, and
theres some exuberant barrelhouse stuff and outbreaks of dissonance in part two.
Each concert is placed on a single CD, while the much briefer sixth disc is
reserved for the encores from Nagoya, Tokyo, and Sapporo. While Sun Bear breaks
little ground that his earlier solo piano albums had not already covered, it is
nevertheless richly inventive within Jarretts personal parameter of idioms. If
price is not a barrier, the Jarrett devotee need not hesitate.
