In his timeless solo concerts, Jarrett displays the uncanny ability to drop
himself into a piece of improvised music as if it has been playing invisibly in
the ether all along, requiring him only to pick up from whichever measure he
encounters and leave the music to continue on after he has left the stage. This
album predates Jarrett’s Köln concert by just two years and was the
one that really put him on the map before that legendary successor. Yet we
cannot simply say that Jarrett is channeling the cosmos and leave it at that,
for he inhabits a melodic space that is tangible, his own. Though filed under
jazz, this music is something far more than any generic summary could express.
Still, I persist in trying. The work in Bremen feels to me like travel. In Part
I, we run through many modes of transportation: from air to earth to rail, we
are given a glimpse of new places and spaces (both inner and outer). We
don’t so much physically as emotionally go there, feeling our way through
unfamiliar territory as if it were our very home. Part II has a more decidedly
gospel feel to it, rushing headlong into an ecstatic communion. For nearly 45
minutes, Jarrett manages to ride a wave of endless creative fervor as if every
moment were not the last, but the first. Just then, halfway through, the mood
darkens. Until now we have been heading for the sun when suddenly we are looking
back to the earth, thinking of all that we would miss: the sensation of water
trickling through our fingers, kisses upon our children’s foreheads, the
rustling of wind blowing through our back yards. With a mere gathering of notes,
Jarrett manages to imagine a lifetime’s worth of memories, departing at
last with an exultant resignation, perhaps even rebirth. Lausanne, on the other
hand, crosses the previous series of vertical strokes with horizontal ones.
Every time Jarrett slips into another intersection, he locks himself into a new
idea until its beauty becomes too much for him and he must move on.
“Transcendent” doesn’t even begin to describe the effect, for
it is also confrontational, painful, and transportative. For the latter portion
of the Lausanne solo, Jarrett ventures inside the piano, slapping and plucking
his way through a percussive and surreal call-and-response and, eventually, a
frenzied fade into silence.

Of all of Jarrett’s solo piano recordings, I love the sound of this piano
over the rest. Whatever instrument he is playing here seems to let go of any and
all inhibitions in his presence and shines steadily like a planet in its higher
regions. Jarrett plays with unparalleled diction. Like any great orator, he
means to ensure that we understand every word through his delivery, and for that
he has chosen the perfect mouthpiece.
