Keith Jarrett’s “La Scala” 💫

 

"𝗟𝗔 𝗦𝗖𝗔𝗟𝗔", recorded live 31 years ago today on February 13th in 1995.

It was the first recital ever given by an improvising musician in the world’s most famous opera house: Teatro alla Scala in Milan. The concert – an instant press sensation – comprises two moving sets of solo improvisation, and Jarrett’s most loved encore: the classic tune "Over the Rainbow."

… and most important, for me: I was seated in 6th row that evening in Milan, on premium seats which costed to me an imposing sum of money… but the concert was an historic one and on my personal podium.
