Description

NEW VINYL LP ON ECM RECORDS 2017

180 GRAM VINYL.

The Survivors Suite, recorded in 1976, is the crowning achievement of Keith Jarretts American Quartet with Dewey Redman, Charlie Haden and Paul Motian, and one of the all-time enduring masterpieces in the ECM catalogue. Melody Maker: The Survivors Suite is a brilliantly organized and full-blooded work which provides the perfect setting for all four talents. This is a very complete record. It creates its own universe and explores it thoroughly, leaving the listener awed and satisfied… An unashamedly ardent album, Jarretts very finest. The Wire: The labyrinthine composition seems to redefine intensity each time it turns a corner. The drive toward the climax of Side Two is among the most moving in modern music, Dewey Redman absolutely titanic over the surging rhythms.
