La Scala (album)
La Scala is a live solo piano album by American pianist Keith Jarrett recorded in concert on February 13, 1995 at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan (Italy) and released by ECM Records in 1997. Reception. The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars, stating, "The music overall develops slowly but always holds one's interest, reinforcing one's viewpoint of Keith Jarrett as one of the top pianists of the 1980s and '90s." The authors of "The Penguin Guide to Jazz" wrote: "Jarrett's improvisations are as long and as densely textured as  ever, but there is a modesty and philosophical calm about the music which seems new. The second part of 'La Scala'... has outbreaks of quiet violence, but nothing that doesn't have its own resolution. The instrument is immaculate, warm and full-voiced." Track listing. Total effective playing time: 1:16:34 (the album contains 2:04 applause approximately)
