With 'Radiance', Jarrett invites the listener to experience the full range of his emotional and technical depth, making this album a must-listen for fans of jazz and piano music.
The release of 'Radiance' was followed by a video recording of the Tokyo concert, 'Tokyo Solo', in April 2006, further solidifying Jarrett's reputation as a visionary musician. With its rich and nuanced sound, 'Radiance' is an album that will continue to inspire and delight audiences for years to come.
