Death and the Flower

A masterpiece from Keith Jarrett's highly influential 'American Quartet.' The album consists of two long, suite-like compositions that seamlessly blend passages of intense, free improvisation with sections of stunning, folk-like melodic beauty. The music is a quintessential example of the group's ability to explore the avant-garde while remaining deeply rooted in melody and groove, a hallmark of the 1970s 'loft jazz' scene.
