Title: Very good, minus one track.
Product review: Keith Jarrett is at his lyrical best through most of this album, swinging on the uptempo numbers and connecting with strong emotional content on the ballads. The styles range a bit widely, but because the group is so tight and cohesive it holds together. My only reservation is the track "For Miles," which to me doesn't hold up and is way overlong. OK, I understand that others will disagree, and that Jarrett wanted to make a strong personal statement about his old friend Miles, but the track rambles and does not have any unifiying theme or melodic sense. For my taste, it drags, and at 18 minutes is quite skippable. No worries, though. Like most people, I copy my CDs to the hard drive, and even without "For Miles" you'll have 49 minutes of very expressive, lyrical, swinging, intelligent and emotional music. I'm very happy I bought this disc.
