On a smoky night at New York's famous Village Vanguard jazz club, Keith Jarrett brought together a few of his craziest friends in hopes of tickling the audience's fancy with music that explored its own boundaries while deconstructing the foundations it was built upon
Now that night is captured on Fort Yawuh, a live album that gets to the very heart of Jarrett's piano vision. Four long songs strong, it is a cataclysmic blending of drums, bass, sax, Chinese musette and, of course, piano. Like a band of marooned sailors, they explore the island of Jazz, uncovering goodness never before known outside of that smoky club.
