Keith Jarrett has been at the cutting edge of music for some time often pushing the boundaries of what we know. "In The Light" is a double vinyl album from his early days and finds Jarrett tackling symphonic classically jazz infused ideas.
Fans of the "ECM-Scene" will no doubt already own music by Jarrett , but might be surprised a bit by his focus on this album.
"In The Light" is essentially a classical compendium of eight different works employing a number of ensembles.
Like many Jarrett albums his music defies classification and takes treks from baroque to contemporary dissonance to complex counterpoint to a brass quintet.
Strongest song on the album for me is the 20 mins epic "Metamorphosis," featuring Bela Bartok'ish structures and tones.
