- Keith Jarrett, the most expressive, fragile voicings on the planet, period. Pure music, never vanity, cleverness or sheer virtuosity.

I loves you, porgy,
Dont let him take me
Dont let him handle me
And drive me mad
If you can keep me
I wanna stay here with you forever
And Ill be glad
Yes I loves you, porgy,
Dont let him take me
Dont let him handle me
With his hot hands
If you can keep me
I wants to stay here with you forever
Ive got my man
I loves you, porgy,
Dont let him take me
Dont let him handle me
And drive me mad
If you can keep me
I wanna stay here with you forever
Ive got my man
Someday I know hes coming to call me
Hes going to handle me and hold me
So, it going to be like dying, porgy
When he calls me
But when he comes I know Ill have to go
I loves you, porgy,
Dont let him take me
Honey, dont let him handle me
And drive me mad
If you can keep me
I wanna stay here with you forever
Ive got my man

- Takes my breath away EVERY time I listen to this - and I own the DVD. Yes, the technical harmonic decisions, phrasing, voice leading is amazing.
But beyond all that is the nuance of the beautiful, haunting melody. The piano can, indeed, sing.
And here it sings of longing, uncertainty, regret and love slipping away.
Simply breathtaking
