In the pantheon of modern jazz, few live recordings have achieved the ethereal balance of intimacy, lyricism, and telepathic interplay found on Keith Jarrett’s My Song. Released originally in 1978, the album marked the definitive arrival of Jarrett’s European Quartet featuring saxophonist Jan Garbarek, bassist Palle Danielsson, and drummer Jon Christensen. But for the digital audiophile, the 2015 reissue—specifically the FLAC 24-bit/192kHz high-resolution transfer—is not merely a listening session; it is an archeological excavation of a singular night in Oslo, Norway.
The high-res version eliminates the "thinness" often associated with earlier digital transfers of 70s ECM recordings. Soundstage & Detail:

You will hear Jan Garbarek inhale before a phrase. You will hear Keith Jarrett hum along with his solo (a trademark habit, but now clearer). You will hear the Oslo winter silence surrounding the quartet. For the collector, the audiophile, and the lover of transcendent jazz, this is not merely a file—it is the closest you will get to sitting in the control room at Talent Studio in 1977.
