Keith Jarrett > My Wild Irish Rose
Composed by Chauncey OlcottNever in a hundred years (OK, maybe 40) would it have occurred to me that I’d build our first artist week around Keith Jarrett. Hank Jones, Cecil Taylor, maybe Herbie Hancock? Them, I might have predicted. But year after year I keep pulling Keith albums out.
Particularly this one. (In fact, I featured it a year ago.) Not jazz in any traditional sense (no soloing), but I can’t imagine anyone but a jazzman interpreting melodies this way.
To me, this song was just an international cliche until I couldn’t dislodge Keith’s version from my head. He nails the melody so deeply…
