“Roma,” the last of Keith Jarrett’s 2016 concerts, coming from ECM

ECM will release Roma, a solo concert Keith Jarrett gave at the Sala Santa Cecilia in Rome on July 12, 2016. It is the fifth and final volume drawn from his final European tour, following the concerts from Budapest, Bordeaux, Vienna, and Munich. ECM describes it as music that “stands apart, even within this remarkable series.”

Reviewing the concert at the time, the Italian daily La Repubblica wrote: “He pays tribute to the act of creation, to spontaneous composition, and he does so in front of an audience, sharing with listeners the excitement of discovery.”

The album is ECM 2880. No release date has been announced yet.

Thanks to Jonas and Michael for the tip.

ECM and Qobuz Hi-Res reissues

A Qobuz playlist features one track from each album, with the complete albums available for purchase.

“At The Deer Head Inn – The Complete Recordings” 4-LP box set to be released on August 22, 2025

ECM will release At The Deer Head Inn – The Complete Recordings, a 4-LP box set, on August 22, 2025.

“The music has the dash and the unabashed lyricism of Keith Jarrett’s best work” wrote Stereophile in a rave-review of the first selection from the intimate Deer Head Inn live recording, capturing Jarrett’s spontaneous and in retrospect historic return to the Pennsylvanian venue of his early years, alongside Gary Peacock and Paul Motian. The second release – titled The Old Country and released 30 years after the first volume in 2024 – was met with equal acclaim – The Guardian’s John Fordham called it “song-based jazz-imagining at its best”. Here both albums are combined and released on vinyl for the very first time, spread across four LPs in two tip-on gatefold jackets and framed by a deluxe slipcase: The Complete Recordings. There won’t be a second print-run of this box-set, limiting it strictly to this edition. Keith Jarrett: “I think you can hear on this tape what jazz is all about”.

Thanks Mikael for the information.
