Drawn from the upcoming 30 September release of Bordeaux Concert recorded at the Bordeaux national opera house on 6 July 2016 the same month as the slightly earlier already issued Budapest Concert and a little later the equally beautiful Munich 2016 release - solo Jarrett is as good as it gets and it is always a very special, memorable, day when we as a world community of listeners hear new music from the master. With Jarrett creative invention is part of the process. But there is that spell too that is unique to what he achieves so often. Such weight in the softness paradoxically fills the scales. It's as if a series of undertones are gradually unlocked as you delve into the fabric of the harmonies the more you listen. And the sense of quietude is extraordinary in all brevity.Bordeaux Concert is to be issued as a double LP, on CD, for streaming and to download. SG
