I’m a little late on this. A new Keith Jarrett compilation (42 tracks) is available on all streaming platforms (Apple, Spotify, Tidal, YouTube, etc.). It consists of previously released tracks from ECM albums, from Facing You (1971, released in 1972) to Munich 2016 (2016, released in 2019).

A recording of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach’s Wurttemberg sonatas by Keith Jarrett will be released by ECM in June 2023.

Keith Jarrett’s account of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach’s Wurttemberg Sonatas is a revelation.

“I’d heard the sonatas played by harpsichordists, and felt there was room for a piano version,” says Jarrett today.

This outstanding recording, made in 1994 and previously unreleased, finds the pianist attuned to the expressive implications of the sonatas in every moment.

The younger Bach’s idiosyncrasies: the gentle playfulness of the music, the fondness for subtle and sudden tempo shifts, the extraordinary, rippling invention…all of this is wonderfully delivered.

The fluidity of the whole performance has a quality that perhaps could be conveyed only by an artist of great improvisational skills.

In Jarrett’s hands, CPE’s exploration of new compositional forms retains the freshness of discovery.

Recorded at Keith Jarrett’s Cavelight Studio in May 1994, the album includes liner notes by Paul Griffiths.

The tracklist is as follows:

CD 1

1. I. Moderato (Sonata No. 1 in A Minor, H. 30) (7:33)
2. II. Andante (Sonata No. 1 in A Minor, H. 30) (3:15)

6. III. Allegro (Sonata No. 2 in A-Flat Major, H. 31) (3:51)
7. I. Allegro (Sonata No. 3 in E Minor, H. 33) (6:02)

Book of Ways will be released by ECM as a 2-CD package on March 10, 2023 (see also Facebook post).

After 36 years: ‘Book of Ways’ is available in exclusive packaging starting March 10th. ‘Book of Ways’ was recorded on the 14th of July 1986 in Ludwigsburg. The sequence of improvisations has been adapted for this double album without being changed in order. Rather amazing is the great variety of sound and rhythm – Jarrett played alternately one or two instruments simultaneously. Beyond unmistakeable echoes of lute music and Japanese koto, the whole range of modes of expression the clavichord is capable of is being fathomed out. All this has been supported by studio techniques, which recorded the sound of the instrument with rarely heard intensity. The re-issue 2-CD comes in a new packaging with high quality paper sleeves and gold embossed lettering.
