Jarrett, known primarily as a jazz pianist, approached this monumental instrument with both reverence and adventurous spirit, improvising entirely in the moment without predetermined structures. The result is music that draws from Baroque tradition, modern classical music, jazz sensibility, and Jarrett's own spiritual searching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album is divided into two sections. \"Hymn Of Remembrance\" opens the first disc with a contemplative meditation that establishes the sacred atmosphere. The \"Spheres\" movements, numbered first through ninth, form an extended suite that explores the organ's sonic possibilities across three more LP sides. Jarrett moves between dense, complex passages and moments of austere simplicity, from thundering bass pedal tones to delicate flute stop melodies. The music is alternately majestic and intimate, cosmic and earthbound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Hymn Of Release\" closes the album with a sense of resolution and transcendence, bringing the listener full circle from the opening hymn.

The four musicians, Jarrett on piano, Jan Garbarek on tenor and soprano saxophone, Palle Danielsson on bass and Jon Christensen on drums, had developed a working relationship and a shared musical language in the three years between the two records, and the settled trust between them is audible throughout the six Jarrett originals that make up the album. Where the music on \u003cem\u003eBelonging\u003c\/em\u003e had a quality of discovery, \u003cem\u003eMy Song\u003c\/em\u003e is more assured, the compositions more fully realised and the interplay more fluent. Garbarek's saxophone, here drawing on both the folk-inflected lyricism of his Norwegian background and the post-bop vocabulary he had developed through his own recordings, provides melodic counterpoint to Jarrett's piano rather than competing with it, the two instruments moving in and out of the foreground across tracks that range from the opening \"Questar\" through to the closing \"The Journey Home\", which passes through several distinct moods in its ten minutes. Jarrett occasionally plucks the strings inside the piano for added percussion, and Danielsson is given room for extended bass solos that hold their own as compositional statements. Engineered by Jan Erik Kongshaug, who was responsible for the sonic character of ECM's studio recordings throughout this period, and produced by Manfred Eicher, the album reached No. 17 on the Billboard jazz chart on its original release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReleased in Japan in January 1984 on ECM Records (25MJ 3304) and manufactured by Polydor K.K., this pressing presents the album in the label's characteristic spare design. The combination of Kongshaug's engineering and ECM's insistence on acoustic, unprocessed sound makes this one of the more demanding tests for a well-set-up system, the piano, saxophone, bass and drums spread across the stereo field with a clarity and separation that rewards careful listening.

As one of the most intimate and dynamically quiet recordings in jazz - solo piano in a near-silent room - it will reveal surface noise that would be completely buried on a busier record. That's not a reflection of the vinyl's condition so much as the nature of the recording itself.

The concert had been organised by Vera Brandes, at 18 years old Germany's youngest concert promoter. She had sold out the house — around 1,400 people — and rented the opera venue for the first time it had been used for a jazz performance, underwritten by a loan from her mother. Jarrett had driven from Zurich to Cologne in Manfred Eicher's Renault 4 rather than fly, arriving late and tired. He had not slept properly in days. His back pain required a brace. The piano on stage was not the Bösendorfer Imperial 290 he had specified but a smaller rehearsal instrument that had not been tuned and whose pedals stuck. After playing a few notes and demanding a replacement that could not be found, Jarrett was ready to leave. Brandes persuaded him to stay. ECM engineer Martin Wieland had set up two Neumann U 67 microphones and a Telefunken M-5 tape machine to capture the performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat Jarrett played that night worked in part because of the piano's limitations rather than despite them. Unable to rely on the bass and upper registers, he built the performance on the middle register and on \u003cem\u003eostinato\u003c\/em\u003e left-hand patterns — according to Eicher, the instrument's shortcomings drove Jarrett toward a different approach than he might otherwise have taken. Part I runs for around 26 minutes and develops from a single vamp through increasingly elaborate melodic excursions. Part II was divided for the vinyl format into three sections: IIa, IIb and IIc, the last of which draws on Jarrett's earlier composition \"Memories of Tomorrow.\" The whole concert is present across the four sides of this double album. The record was released on ECM in November 1975 and sold in quantities no one at the label had anticipated; it remains the best-selling solo piano recording and the best-selling solo jazz album ever made.

The four musicians became known as the American Quartet and recorded four studio albums for the label between 1974 and 1976. \u003cem\u003eTreasure Island\u003c\/em\u003e, recorded at Generation Sound Studio in New York City over two days in late February 1974, was the first of the studio recordings.

The title track brings in guitarist Sam Brown and introduces a more airy, Latin-tinged texture. Jarrett plays soprano saxophone on \"Angles (Without Edges).\" \"Introduction\/Yaqui Indian Folk Song\" incorporates a melody from the Yaqui people of the Sonoran Desert. Brown also appears on the closing \"Sister Fortune.\" Jarrett plays additional instruments across the session — osi drum, wood flute — that extend the record's rhythmic and textural range beyond the standard piano quartet. Two months after these sessions, Jarrett would enter a studio in Norway to record \u003cem\u003eBelonging\u003c\/em\u003e with Jan Garbarek, Palle Danielsson and Jon Christensen.
