Keith Jarrett to be inducted as 2014 National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Masters
According to the National Endowment for the Arts website:
Recipients will be honored at an awards ceremony & concert on January 13, 2014, at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City, which will be webcast live at arts.gov and jalc.org/live
From Keith Jarrett’s profile:
“Although only music excites me, and awards and ceremonies do not, I feel honored to receive this NEA Jazz Masters Award, due to the many players on the list since 1982 that have been influential in my life. I’m honored to be in their company, and am reminded that the true nature of jazz has always relied on the individual players making their mark on the music of the future. Jazz is not dead as long as someone is playing with true inspiration.”

“Mysteries/Shades” to be re-released in the UK on May 6, 2013
“Mysteries / Shades” will be re-released as a double CD in the UK by BGO Records on May 6, 2013.
“Founded in 1987, BGO Records is an independent reissue label specialising in classic highly collectable recordings of groups, singers and instrumentalists from the fifties through to the eighties. (…) UK distribution is by Universal Music Group & Proper Music distribution.”
Re-released in 2009, “Fort Yawuh / Death and the Flower” are also available from the same label.
Both re-releases are available from bgo-records.com for £9.99.
Interestingly, “Mysteries / Shades” have already been re-released in Europe by Impulse Records in 2011 and are still available. The new release by BGO Records is supposed to include “extensive new liner notes”.
Thanks to Jon for the information!
Update (May 4, 2013). It looks like this particular re-release will be available in other European countries as well (The Netherlands – thanks to Cees for the link – and Germany, at least).
Paul Motian (1931-2011)
It is with sadness that I learned today that Paul Motian has passed away. Paul was a fantastic drummer, who played on many Keith Jarrett recordings (“Life Between The Exit Signs”, “Expectations”, “The Mourning of a Star”, “Fort Yawuh”, “The Survivors’ Suite”, “At the Deer Head Inn”, etc.).
