How do you sum up a massive catalog like Keith Jarrett's output for ECM -- which, as of the mid-'90s, numbered over 50 individual LPs -- on one slim little CD? You can't. Even so, this collection of seven so-called "works" -- four of which are actually excerpts of "works" -- borders on the bizarre. You get three solo piano pieces from Facing You, Staircase, and The Sun Bear Concerts; there are two numbers with Jarrett's European quartet from My Song; the second movement of his string quartet, and a swatch from the organ/soprano sax work, Invocations. There is nothing from the volatile American quartet. The best solo piano recordings, the Köln Concert and Solo Concerts: Bremen/Lausanne, are ignored, and most astonishingly for a CD reissued in 1992, there is nothing after 1980 -- which means no Standards trio, etc. True, the programming is unpredictable (one wonders if a mischievous Jarrett personally supervised the selection), and ultimately, this functions only as a sampler for newcomers, who will undoubtedly want to explore Jarrett in much greater depth based on the strength of the music here.
