Guy Berger Posted August 3, 2005 Report Posted August 3, 2005 I was wondering if there are any other recorded performances of the beautiful Keith Jarrett ballad "Country", aside from that on My Song and the solo version he did on SNL. I'm especially interested in any versions with a more robust saxophonist than Garbarek, who's a little too KennyG-ish on the original. Guy Quote
JSngry Posted August 3, 2005 Report Posted August 3, 2005 If Kenny G played even remotely that well, the world would not be rabid for his evisceration. Quote

RDK Posted August 3, 2005 Report Posted August 3, 2005 Whoa - is that Jarrett SNL appearance available anywhere? Never heard/seen that one... Quote
GregK Posted August 25, 2005 Report Posted August 25, 2005 no one knows of any? That really is a wonderful tune-in fact, that whole record is great. Quote

Michael Fitzgerald Posted August 25, 2005 Report Posted August 25, 2005 Hmmm - what's going on with "The Journey Home" on that tape? On the record, that tune runs 10:33. Is it cut short or is that a full performance? Mike Quote
marcello Posted August 25, 2005 Report Posted August 25, 2005 I've never heard it, Mike. I saw it here: Jarrett Bootlegs Quote
