Hamburg '72 is a jazz album by Keith Jarrett's trio with Charlie Haden and Paul Motian . The recording was made as part of the NDR jazz workshop on June 14, 1972 and was published by ECM in November 2014 .
Background of the album
The collaboration of the pianist Keith Jarrett with Charlie Haden and Paul Motian began in 1966. The trio was first recorded on sound storage media in 1967 ( Life Between the Exit Signs ); In 1968, a few live appearances followed, including at the Shelly Manne's Hole jazz club in Los Angeles (album Somewhere Before ). In 1969 Jarrett was in Europe with this trio, with whom he also recorded for Atlantic in 1971 during his time as keyboardist in Miles Davis' band . The Munich-based ECM label, for which Jarrett recorded the solo album Facing You in November 1971 , organized a tour of the Jarrett trio in 1972. It also included the radio concert in the broadcasting hall of the NDR radio station in Hamburg, where this album was recorded. During this tour, the friendship arose between Jarrett and ECM producer Manfred Eicher , who accompanied the trio on the trip.
Eicher took back the original tapes from the radio concert 42 years later, selected parts of them and remixed them in July 2014 together with Jan Erik Kongshaug in Oslo for the present edition.

reception
John Fordham said in the Guardian that this album, which Keith Jarrett captures shortly before his first solo concert at the Heidelberg Jazz Festival (and three years before the successful Cologne Concert ), was “an unbridled excursion for an overwhelmingly intuitive trio.” There were Jarrett's as well Flute and wild soprano saxophone playing a lot of virtuosity on the piano, "full of the typically reduced long lines and methodical structure, a little gospel- like Jarrett funk ( Take Me Back ) and slowly massed ballads." Haden and Motian constantly get ahead of him. "The tonal freedom and licentiousness gives this recording a different kind of power," audible for Fordham in Jarrett's Ornette Coleman- reminiscent phrasing on the soprano saxophone over Haden's frenzied bass in Piece for Ornette and in the long multiphonic howl at the dissonant chords on the bowed one Double bass Hadens and Motian's clatter in the intense Song for Che . Ford sums up that the recording is a "remarkable work by a trio that is perfectly attuned to one another - and to the zeitgeist."
Thomas Steinfeld wrote in the Süddeutsche Zeitung : “This music [is] virtuoso enough to treat its material as an open floor plan on which you can lay out wide spaces, cozy niches or now and then something completely nonsensical. It hurts a little to know that such sovereignty has long been something rare ”. For Steinfeld, the recording, “in which free jazz is still alive, [...] documents more about searching and finding music than that it would be a performance of sovereign control over technology and material. Keith Jarrett and the trio from 1972: That is also a staging of improbability. ”In the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung , Wolfgang Sandner also states that he becomes“ a little wistful ”when listening.
The Times wrote that the rediscovered live set was "exculpatory evidence" for the controversial pianist.
