The first part of Keith Jarrettā€™s Koln Concert.

Absolutely incredible stuff. It is him and his piano and him improvising.

A smashing tune indeed. Never heard that one before.

Posted this on the Tube but thought I would throw it up here as well.

This is superb.

Out Hud - Itā€™s for You

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCizg6uXrsQ

The lyrics are strange:

Heā€™s obtuse up there.
Sheā€™s up to something.
And I canā€™t breathe.

4 A.M.
And I was sleeping, but the phone just rang.
Dead Air.
And someone breathing whoā€™s up to something.

Iā€™ll leave and let you go
And though youā€™re moving a little too slow.
Iā€™ll even let you know.
You did the right thing.

Hesā€¦
Shesā€¦
And I canā€™t breatheā€¦

4 A.M.
And I was sleeping, but the phone just rang.
:: ring ::
Hello?
Dead Air.
And someone breathing whoā€™s up to something.

Iā€™ll leave and let you go
And though youā€™re moving a little too slow.
Iā€™ll even let you know.
You did the right thing.

:: ring ::
Hello?

[the rest of the song is Nic Offer breathing in some patternā€¦]

Well worth a listen in our current climate, a Woody Guthrie classic performed by a modern working class heroā€¦

It is probably doing an injustice to call this a ā€˜smashing tuneā€™ - it is more an extraordinary piece of art.
