Facing You, Keith Jarrett’s first solo piano offering, was recorded in an Oslo, Norway studio on November 10, 1971, the day after a Miles Davis performance. This solo concert, at the Molde Jazz Festival, took place the following August 2, and is reputed to be only his second solo concert; the first was in Germany that June.
That word genius is thrown around so much it has nearly lost its meaning, but listening to Keith’s playing here, it’s quite obvious that he is that sort of musician.
A thousand thanks to the folks at the tv network in Norway, NRK, for documenting this important music.
