Here is Keith Jarrett with the European Quartet, which I do enjoy. I feel the ballads are a bit boring, but the modal/gospel/burners are awesome ("Spiral Dance," which is one of the first things I've transcribed on my own. The head to that tune is quite tricky., "'Long as You Know You're Living Yours" - which Steely Dan apparently plagiarized for Gaucho, and "The Windup.")
I like this group just as much as the American Quartet, except on the schmaltzy ballads. I wonder why Keith Jarrett was so adamant about not playing standards in the 1970s, but then made a complete U Turn in the 1980s-Current and only plays standards?
