After the Fall is a live double album by American jazz pianist Keith Jarrett. Recorded at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center on November 14, 1998, it was released archivally by ECM Records 20 years later. Jarrett's trio features bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Jack DeJohnette.[12][1]

Background[edit]

Chris Pearson of The Times stated "The title refers to Keith Jarrett’s 'fall' into a bout of chronic fatigue syndrome in autumn (or fall) 1996. As the American pianist explains in his sleeve notes, the illness kept him from playing publicly for two years. This concert, recorded near his home in New Jersey, was his first post-recovery attempt to play before an audience. It’s a caveat of sorts, as is its casual capture through the venue’s mixing console. Yet the tape and the trio sound fine."

Reception[edit]

Thom Jurek of AllMusic wrote: "This double disc isn't merely a compelling historical document, it is an exemplary concert full of inspired readings of classic jazz tunes ranging from the Great American Songbook through bebop and John Coltrane."
