Keith Jarrett: No End

No End was recorded in 1986, but it sounds even older. The project features piano icon Keith Jarrett solo, though not on solo piano. Instead, he plays a 20-part “suite,” multitracking himself on electric guitar, Fender bass, drums, tabla and various percussion-piano makes one appearance, in the backing track on “X”-for two discs and 90-plus … Read More “Keith Jarrett: No End”
