Keith Jarrett — My Song (24‑bit/192kHz FLAC edition) — Review
The 2015 high-resolution release is not just a digital update; it's a sonic preservation of the original session recorded at Talent Studios in Oslo. Engineered by the late Jan Erik Kongshaug, known for his "recording magic," the 24-bit/192kHz files capture the nuanced interplay of the quartet in startling detail.

Jarrett’s infamous humming and singing along with his playing is either a blessing or a curse. In this remaster, it is a revelation at lower levels. During the piano solo on “The Journey Home,” you can hear Jarrett’s voice a full 10 feet to the left of the piano, with the microphone pickup pattern naturally attenuating him. It feels like sitting in the control room, not on stage. Keith Jarrett — My Song (24‑bit/192kHz FLAC edition)
