Keith Jarrett (p), Kent Carter (b), Dannee Fullerton (d)
March 1965, Ted Knowlton’s Living Room, Winchester, Mass.
Tangerine
The recording of ‚Tangerine‘ is a tour-de-force of the young Keith. After a few choruses of „regular“ playing (right-hand solo lines, left-hand chords), he gets into some two-handed octave lines that are pretty incredible. During the bass solo, he silently sets up chords using the selective sustain pedal – the middle pedal, then strums the strings to get the harp-like effect – which is immediately answered with some regular piano chords.
After the Kent Carter bass solo comes an awesome solo right-hand exercise. This leads into Danny’s drum solo. Keith’s left hand emerges from the drum solo with yet another prodigious display of technique.
Then the crowd-pleaser final chorus.
