Keith Jarrett - "I Loves You, Porgy" from the album "The Melody At Night, With You." I am speechless!! Only just heard any of this album now, in fact still only on track 2 but I am already in love with it!!! For all of his personal prima donna-isms and "artistic" flaws, this man is surely the only person in the universe who can channel the intense fear and longing of the lyrics to this song through an instrument.

I also love the fact that there is none of the impressive though perhaps convoluted harmonic showboating that Jarrett is famous for here - just the melody, but expressed with a clarity and elegance that can never be taught or learnt. A true genius - even if you aren't a jazz fan, buy this album!!!
