Sun Bear Concerts

The Köln Concert is typically spotlighted as the pinnacle of solo piano improvisation. However, Sun Bear Concerts is Keith Jarrett’s magnum opus not only in terms of length and scope but also in terms of what he accomplishes in the warmth of every moment. Recorded during a tour of Japan in 1976, it documents some of the most gorgeously winged arrays of notes to ever leave the nest of a piano. With six CDs worth of music, there’s always more to discover as it grows with you in life. If you’re new to Jarrett, this is the one you want.
