Everything Jazz
Keith Jarrett: Treasure Island LP
Impulse!, 1974
Try listening to the laid-back country blues of opening track “The Rich (And The Poor)” - with Keith Jarrett whooping for joy from the piano bench - and see if you can stop yourself from smiling. A sense of relaxed excitement suffuses this whole date, recorded by an all-star band that soon became known as Jarrett’s American Quartet, with Dewey Redman on sax, Charlie Haden on bass and Paul Motian on drums – plus Sam Brown on electric guitar. With its killer hooks and catchy vamps, soulful playing and yearning themes, Jarrett’s album is an under-appreciated masterpiece of modern American jazz.
