A čkoliv je to um ělec sv ětové velikosti, není o n ěm zdaleka tak velké všeobecné pov ědomí. Proto i já jsem se ke své první desce od n ěj dostal p řes doporu čení. Desku Whisper not , kde Jarrett hraje se svým Standards triem, jsem za čal poslouchat ve svých čtrnácti letech. Jazz byl pro m ě neznámý, a nějakou dobu mi trvalo, než jsem zjistil, kdo na desce vůbec hraje. V příštích m ěsících a letech jsem si sehnal další Jarrettovy nahrávky. Sólová deska z Kolína nad Rýnem mě, stejn ě jako statisíce lidí po celém sv ětě hned vtáhla a slyšel jsem ji nes četn ěkrát. Jarrettovu hudbu jsem poslouchal n ěkolik let, b ěhem kterých jsem postupn ě nabýval znalosti z hudební teorie. Postupem času se tím měnil postoj k poslouchanému materiálu a spousta v ěcí se zdála být čiteln ější. Na druhou stranu jsem si o to lépe uv ědomoval složitost procesu, který se p ři podobném zp ůsobu hraní d ěje. To vše m ě fascinovalo a spole čně s hudebním zážitkem přitahovalo. K soustavn ějšímu studiu jsem se nikdy p ředtím neodhodlal; proto jsem využil možnost pono řit se hloub ěji do této problematiky v rámci vytvá ření bakalá řské práce. Vytvo řit pak úhel pohledu bylo základním prvkem, který se v procesu tvorby této práce velice m ěnil. Moje p ředstavy o ur čitých prvcích v Jarrettov ě h ře byli zkreslené a zjednodušené. Vývoj klavírní tvorby, a ť už jenom sólové je vysoce nad limit bakalá řské práce a proto hned v úvodu musím specifikovat zp ůsob zpracování tématu. Hudby v sólové produkci Keitha Jarretta je pod hlavi čkou ECM vydáno desítky hodin. Desítky hodin evolu čního procesu, který se s každým koncertem vyvíjí. Termín koncert v rámci této práce využívám ve smyslu živého vystoupení a ne ve smyslu hudební formy. Účelem zde není vytvo ření kompletního vý čtu všech nahraných koncert ů a následné estetické verbalizování Jarrettovy hry, ale nalézání konkrétních rys ů, které se p ři jeho improvizaci vyskytují četn ěji. Tyto rysy jsem si definoval jako improviza ční šablony. 5 Šablonu pak musíme chápat jako základní stavební prvek improvizace, který sám o sob ě má potenciál generovat hudební materiál. V práci bude popsán vývoj a zp ůsob hry Keitha Jarretta všeobecnými znaky, ale d ůležit ějším faktorem bude p ředstavit tento vývoj na podklad ě improviza čních šablon, nebo vzorc ů. Termín, který jsem hledal, znamená i pro Keitha Jarretta jistou limitovanost, ve které se pohybuje a trochu popírá jeho absolutní svobodu ve h ře. Důležitým aspektem práce bude také popsat jeho p řístup k tvorb ě písn ě. Termín píse ň v rámci této práce využívám ve smyslu formovém, jedná se nej čast ěji o drobnou skladbu jazzového charakteru. 1 To znamená stav ění melodické struktury pomocí krátkých motiv ů, tedy jak u Jarretta píse ň vzniká a jak s ní pracuje. Na n ěkolika ukázkách z různých období u Keitha Jarretta představím pr ůběh improvizace spole čně s typy improviza čních šablon. Cílem práce pak bude koncentrovat popis vývoje t ěchto prvk ů. 1 V tomto typu skladby nemusí být zastoupena vokální složka. 6 2. Stav bádání Keith Jarrett u nás poprvé koncertoval v roce 1967. Vystoupil na Mezinárodním jazzovém festivale v Praze s kvartetem Charlese Lloyda při turné po Evrop ě. V následujících dvou dekádách není u nás o Jarrettovi p říliš slyšet kv ůli politické situaci. Po „sametové revoluci“ je nejspíš těžké splnit podmínky pro jeho vystoupení s ohledem na nástroje, vybavení, prostory a finance. Proto je v československé historii už jenom jeden další záznam o jeho koncertu a to se svým Standards triem v Paláci kultury v Praze, dne 30. listopadu 1990. 2 Dalším důvodem toho, že o Jarrettovi se tak málo píše je jeho uzav řenost a nechu ť komunikovat s noviná ři. Jeho nep říliš v řelý vztah s médii je pak často doložen i jeho zp ětnou reakcí na kritiky o n ěm vydané. V roce 1990 se ve své studii s názvem O aktuálnosti Keitha Jarretta zmínil o Jarrettovi Lubomír Dor ůžka v časopise Melodie . 3 Tento časopis se p řevážn ě v ěnoval populární a jazzové hudb ě a to už od roku 1963. Nejpo četn ější zastoupení reflexí Jarrettovy tvorby pak nalezneme v časopise Harmonie . Periodikum, jež se utvá řelo až v dob ě porevolu ční, má široký záb ěr a p řináší všechny d ůležité aktuality a pohledy na hudební scénu domácí i sv ětovou a to nejen v oblasti jazzové a populární hudby. Auto ři, kte ří psali o Jarrettovi, jsou Vít Roubí ček, Pavel Klusák, Vladimír Strakoš, Petra Mi čkalová nebo Michal Nejtek. Můžeme zde nalézt recenze desek jako u zmi ňovaného Víta Roubí čka na Šostakovi čova preludia a fugy op. 87, 4 ale i celistvý portrét osobnosti, který nabídl Pavel Klusák. 5 Velice p řínosným je pak překlad jeho eseje pro New York Times (ze dne 16. 8. 1992), která je manifestem za obrození hudebního sv ěta a hudebního myšlení a platí 2 Klusák, Pavel. Víc než jen jazz, víc než jen klavír: Portrét Keitha Jarretta . Harmonie, 1994, č. 2., str. 23. 3 Dor ůžka, Lubomír. O aktuálnosti Keitha Jarretta . Melodie, 1990, č. 28., str. 306 – 307. 4 Roubí ček, Vít: 24 preludií a fug op. 87. Harmonie, 1997, č. 5., str. 24 – 25. 5 Klusák, Pavel. Víc než jen jazz, víc než jen klavír: Portrét Keitha Jarretta . Harmonie, 1994, č. 2., str. 23 – 25. 7 dodnes. 6 Michal Nejtek se v časopise Harmonie pouští ješt ě hloub ěji a na malém prostoru se snaží podtrhnout základní rysy Jarretovy klavírní hry a porovnat tedy aktuální koncert La Scala (1997) s jeho nejslavn ějším sólovým po činem The Köln Concert (1975). Analyticky rozebral jednotlivé složky hudebního projevu a p řidal i útržky harmonického rozboru s notovými ukázkami. 7 I v časopise His Voice se vyskytuje tvorba r ůzného zam ěř ení. Jedním sm ěrem je potom hudba jazzového okruhu, kde se jméno Keitha Jarretta op ět objevuje. Je to hlavn ě v podob ě recenzí na vydané nahrávky z živých sólových koncert ů. Takto reagoval Jan Faix na hudbu z koncert ů vydaných pod názvem Testament v roce 2010, 8 nebo Vladimír Kou řil na video záznam z DVD Tokyo Solo z roku 2006. 9 Periodika, která nejsou p římo zam ěř ená na hudební scénu, ale snaží se objektivn ě reflektovat sou časnost ve všech možných oblastech, existují na poli české publicistiky a jedním z nich je časopis Respekt . Rubrika s hudební tematikou není nijak vyhran ěná a často dává prostor r ůznorodým oblastem hudby. Proto se v této části můžeme do číst i o Jarretovi. Zajímavý je nap říklad rozhovor s Keithem Jarretem z Víde ňské opery, který zde p řeložil a zve řejnil Petr Dor ůžka v roce 1992, 10 ale také článek: Keith Jarrett vstal z mrtvých 11 Jaroslava Pamšika, nebo článek Pavla Klusáka. Na poli české hudební knižní tvorby se ucelen ě o Keithu Jarrettovi nedo čteme. Najdeme pouze krátké zmínky, nebo poznámky. Ucelen ější text m ůžeme pak nalézt v rámci encyklopedií, či knih, které mapují p řehledov ě ur čitý žánr, nebo styl. V této oblasti je to především třísvazková Encyklopedie jazzu a moderní populární 6 Jarrett, Keith. Kategorií spousty, ale kde je hudba? . Harmonie, 1996, č. 4., str. 14 – 15. 7 Nejtek, Michal.

His Voice, 2006, č. 6., str. 48. 10 Jarrett, Keith. Toužím se nechat spálit (p řeložil Petr Dor ůžka). Reflex, 1992, č. 3., str. 34 – 36. 11 Pamšik, Jaroslav. Keith Jarrett vstal z mrtvých . Respekt, 2005, č. 16., str. 22. 8 hudby . 12 V části jmenné zam ěř ené na sv ětovou scénu, která je rozd ělena do dvou knih, nalezneme odstavec v ěnovaný osob ě Keitha Jarretta i se stru čným vhledem do estetiky jeho klavírní hry. Autorem hesla je Lubomír Dor ůžka, který je také autorem knihy Panoráma jazzových prom ěn. 13 V knize se zabývá domácí i sv ětovou jazzovou scénou posledních dvaceti let. Díky hluboké orientaci Lubomíra Dor ůžky v této sfé ře je Jarrett krátce a jasn ě specifikován s důrazem na sólovou tvorbu, jako inspirátor a vzor. Ve sv ětovém m ěř ítku se Jarrettovi dostává větší mediální pozornosti, která ale není tak vysoká jak by se možná o čekávalo.

  • Keith Jarrett's Spiritual Beliefs Through a Gurdjieffian Lens
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by The University of Sydney: Sydney eScholarship Journals... Channelling the Creative: Keith Jarrett’s Spiritual Beliefs Through a Gurdjieffian Lens Johanna Petsche Introduction The elusive nature of the creative process in art has remained a puzzling phenomenon for artists and their audiences. What happens to an inspired artist in the moment of creation and where that inspiration comes from are questions that prompt many artists to explain the process as spiritual or mystical, describing their experiences as ‘channelling the divine’, ‘tapping into a greater reality’, or being visited or played by their ‘muse’. Pianist and improviser Keith Jarrett (b.1945) frequently explains the creative process in this way and this is nowhere more evident than in discussions on his wholly improvised solo concerts. Jarrett explains these massive feats of creativity in terms of an ability to ‘channel’ or ‘surrender to’ a source of inspiration, which he ambiguously designates the ‘ongoing harmony’, the ‘Creative’, and the ‘Divine Will’. These accounts are freely expressed in interviews and album liner notes, and are thus highly accessible to his audiences. Jarrett’s mystical accounts of the creative process, his incredible improvisatory abilities, and other key elements come together to create the strange aura of mystery that surrounds his notorious solo concerts. This paper will demystify Jarrett’s spiritual beliefs on the creative process by considering them within a Gurdjieffian context. This will allow for a much deeper understanding of Jarrett’s cryptic statements on creativity, and his idiosyncratic behaviour during the solo concerts.

  • Unbound Jazz: Composing and Performing in a Multi- Cultural Tonality
    Unbound Jazz: Composing and Performing in a Multi- Cultural Tonality By Carlo Estolano Commentaries for the PhD folio of compositions University of York Music December 2017 2 3 Unbound Jazz: Composing and Performing in a Multi-Cultural Tonality Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of a PhD degree in Music at The University of York, December 2018 by Carlo Estolano. Abstract This folio is conceived to propose and demonstrate music realisation of original compositions throughout the employment of elements of mainly two distinct sources: a selection from the wide palette of Brazilian folk styles that have improvisation as a strong element, which is internationally acknowledged as Brazilian Jazz; and its intersections with a certain style of European Jazz represented by artists notable by their keenness to combine elements from distinct musical genres with their Classical background, such as Ralph Towner, Jan Garbarek, John Abercrombie, Eberhard Weber, Kenny Wheeler, Terje Rypdal, Keith Jarrett to name a few. Both Brazilian and European approaches to Jazz seem to share processes of appropriation of foreign musical languages, as well as utilising characteristic features of their own traditions. Another common ground is their relation with some elements and procedures of classical music. The methodology to accomplish an organized collection of musical material was to divide them in five major influences, part of them by composers and part by genres notable by having evolved through absorbing elements from distinct cultural sources. In five projects, fifteen original compositions are provided along with their recorded and/or filmed performances and commentaries about the compositional aspects, concerningthe style or composer focused on.

  • Keith Jarrett Discography
    Keith Jarrett Discography Mirko Caserta , [email protected] July 20, 2002 I cannot say what I think is right about music; I only know the “rightness” of it. I know it when I hear it. There is a release, a flowing out, a fullness to it that is not the same as richness or musicality. I can talk about it in this way because I do not feel that I “created” this music as much as I allowed it to “emerge”. It is this emergence that is inexplicable and incapable of being made solid, and I feel (or felt) as though not only do you never step in the same river twice, but you are never the same when stepping in the river. The river has always been there, despite our polluting it. This is a miracle, and in this day and age we need it. At least I do. – Keith Jarrett, from Spirits’ cover Contents 1 Introduction 5 1.1 How it all started ........................................... 5 1.2 Availability .............................................. 5 1.3 Other resources ............................................ 6 1.4 Acknowledgements .......................................... 6 1.5 Copyleft Notice ............................................ 7 1.6 Disclaimer ............................................... 7 1.7 How to contribute .......................................... 7 1.8 Documentation Conventions ..................................... 7 2 The years ranging from 1960 to 1970 8 2.1 Swinging Big Sound, (Don Jacoby and the College All-Stars) .................. 8 2.2 Buttercorn Lady, (Art Blakey and the New Jazz Messengers) .................. 8 2.3 Dream Weaver, (Charles Lloyd Quartet) .............................. 8 2.4 The Flowering of the Original Charles Lloyd Quartet Recorded in Concert, (Charles Lloyd Quartet) ................................................ 8 2.5 Charles Lloyd in Europe, (Charles Lloyd Quartet) .......................
