Keith Jarrett — "The European Quartet" (i.e. Keith Jarrett, Jan Garbarek, Palle Danielsson, Jon Christensen) albums

i really need to dive back in to the live albums to properly vote in this one.

but, my preliminary knee-jerk vote is belonging. not to say that they didn't have good things to say after it, but that first one is pretty potent.

voting my song because i find something new in it with every listen.

nude ants is so great. i always loved that it only has three sides. back in the vinyl days. personal mountains was a great discovery when it was released many years after the recording. sleeper i have never heard.

It's been a while, but I seem to recall enjoying Belonging the most.

Off the top of my head, I'd rank them like this: Belonging > Personal Mountains > Sleeper > Nude Ants > My Song.

Partly because pre-1975 Garbarek is unfuckwithable.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

this era of Jarrett produces some of his most enjoyable music - I think the knock on it is kind of that it feels "unserious," and I think Jarrett internalizes that going forward -- but man. "Belonging" is just gorgeous, and I love "My Song." The pick is between these two for me but it's a tough pick

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

wow, i'm actually kind of surprised at these results, even though my pick ended up winning.

personal mountains is very good and deserves more than zero votes.

RIP Jon Christensen. Absolute titan around my parts.
