Invocations / The Moth and the Flame

Keith Jarrett

A double-sided ritual of pipe organ echoes and overdubbed saxophones followed by expansive, patient solo piano. Haunting, liturgical, and deeply atmospheric.

1981 · Grammy

A heavy, spiritual stillness that feels both ancient and deeply personal.

Moments Worth Listening For
The massive, earth-shaking low pedal tones of the pipe organ on Invocations Second which feel like they are vibrating the floorboards.
The haunting, layered soprano saxophone on Invocations First creating a ghostly choir effect through overdubbing.
The transition into the more familiar, fluid piano lyricism during the opening of The Moth and the Flame.
