Expectations

Expectations is an album recorded by Keith Jarrett in 1972 and released on Columbia Records the same year. In addition to Jarrett, musicians on the recording include his "American quartet": Dewey Redman on tenor saxophone, Charlie Haden on bass, and Paul Motian on drums. Also featured are Sam Brown on electric guitar, Airto on percussion, as well as brass and string sections whose members are not credited in the album information. Expectations was produced by George Avakian, Jarrett's manager since 1966. In January 1999 Jarrett wrote that " is a very special recording for me, and the only release that ties so many of the feelings I had about music together in such a rich, varied and coherent weave." The album was awarded the Grand Prix du Disque in 1972. (Wikipedia)
