written by Keith Jarrett
This is a great tune written by Keith Jarrett. It was first released in 1974 on the ECM album "Belongings." My arrangement—transposed up a 4th—is a more of a jazz-rock fusion version, heavy on the Rhodes and electric bass. The synth and bone trade 8s for the solo section.
Here's a live version with Jan Garbarek and Keith Jarrett

written by Chick Corea
What a great tune! Its most famous rendition is a duet Chick did with vibraphonist Gary Burton. In keeping with that "crystalline" ambiance, my arrangement is a stripped down ensemble of acoustic bass, vibes, Native American Flutes and trombone. To enhance the arrangement, frame drums and a tad of strings are added as well. The vibraphone sound is once again, the amazing MKS-20 and the acoustic bass is courtesy of the Roland D-50.
The modal solo groove section in 3 is loosely based off of the groove equivalent on the Chick Corea/Gary Burton arrangement that starts around 5 minutes into the recording.
Many thanks to Jerry Barger for his beautiful photo of the Flatiron Reservoir in Colorado.
