I don't know exactly how many pianists there are in the world

- probably several million? Of these, only a tiny number could have pulled this recording off

and none better than Keith Jarrett, one of the finest pianists we have working in any genre or idiom.

This isn't jazz at all, but rather piano transcriptions of one man's memories of central Asian Christian music.

The transcriptions are not artful, but this doesn't stop them from shining like uncut gems.

If you can connect with these minor melodies, then you'll find this recording exceptionally beautiful, as I do.
