The Melody at Night, with You is perhaps Keith Jarrett's most intimate album. It is made up of piano solos, jazz ballads and folk songs, played with an affection that is impossible to doubt. Jarrett dispenses with the conventional emphasis of virtuoso jazz soloists and 'clever' phrasing. Instead, he returns these songs to their melodic essence and gently displays their intrinsic emotion. This transcription, personally approved by Keith Jarrett, was made with the aim of achieving maximum musicality with the widest possible tonal range. Friedrich Grossnick, an experienced pedagogue, has produced an exceptional score with particular attention paid to the sensitivity of Jarrett's interpretation, making it a faithful copy for piano.
