Keith Jarrett

Softcover Tender is the night on what is, perhaps, Keith Jarrett''s most intimate album. It is comprised of solo piano renderings of jazz ballads and folk songs, played with unmistakable affection. Jarrett dispenses with the jazz soloist''s conventional emphasis on dexterity, the ''clever'' phrase, the virtuosic sleight-of-hand. Instead he strips these songs to their melodic essence and, gently, lays bare their emotional core. This transcription, which has Keith Jarrett''s personal approval, was worked out at the keyboard and aims, above all, for maximum playability within the greatest tonal range. Friedrich Grossnick, as an experienced pedagogue, has produced an outstanding score with particular sensitivity to Jarrett''s interpretation thus enabling its faithful recreation on the piano.Softcover Tender is the night on what is, perhaps, Keith Jarrett''s most intimate album.
