Here, Keith Jarrett: The Impulse Years, 1973-1974 (a worthy successor to Impulse's acclaimed 1996 boxed-set release of Keith Jarrett: Mysteries, The Impulse Years, 1975-1976), we at last have in complete and digitally enhanced form what is arguably the American Quartet's most protean and powerful work. Jarrett's American Quartet spans a complex web of of criss-crossing lines of influences and experience - musical, cultural and political. Indeed, in this consistently riveting five-disc set, the almost five hours of music speaks with a sense of urgency as fresh and vital as anything being recorded today.
