_Obscuremuse_ May 29, 2021

Arguably one of his best solo records, love the production on this. Still a bit too meandering on several parts but I fondly like this outing from Jarrett.

People have said that 'Staircase' is the opposite to the Koln Concert. It was recorded in a studio with a good sounding piano and the pieces are shorter. The music may go too far with a double album but there are some excellent moments here and it's very enjoyable for that.
