Concerts is a live solo triple album of by American jazz pianist Keith Jarrett recorded at the Festspielhaus in Bregenz, Austria on May 28, 1981, and the Herkulessaal in Munich, West Germany on June 2, 1981, and released on ECM in September of the following year.[1]

## Reception

[edit]

The AllMusic review by Richard S. Ginell states, "This set is not to be confused with the earlier, more consistently inspired Solo Concerts triple album which made Jarrett a star, yet the pianist was far from tapped out in these performances. Jarrett is often in his best lyrically funky form... this is far more interesting and elevated music-making than that of the New Age navel-gazing imitators cropping up in Jarrett's wake in the early '80s."[3]
