5.0 out of 5 stars The beginning of an enduring strand of Jarrett's music, October 29, 2000

This is the first record Jarrett made with his European quartet. The compositions are beautiful and the arrangements and playing are typically pristine. A side note: this album contains the composition "'Long As You Know You're Living Yours", whose opening riff Steely Dan appropriated for their song "Gaucho," just as they copped the beginning of Horace Silver's "Song For My Father" for "Rikki Don't Lose That Number"

While Belonging is a wonderful record, a later album with the same combo, "My Song", is even better.

5.0 out of 5 stars suprise, surprise, September 1, 2001

I am real Keith Jarrett addict. How many people listen to six hours of improvised music...and love it all the way (KJ: the Sun Bear Concerts) - so when i read the extremely positive reviews of the album, i just bought it. The CD has just arrived in Holland, and when I saw it I thought: oops, the album is almost 30 years old...it must sound horrible. Well: it doesn't. It sounds as if it was recorded yesterday. Fresh, vibrant, clear - with some great music on it. Music that shows a different Keith Jarrett. The music reminds me of the early work of Klaus Doldingers Passport - using these strong melodic saxophone themes. It's maybe the 'European influence'. Anyway. Worthwile!
