Dark Intervals is a solo album by Keith Jarrett recorded live in April 1987 at the Salle Pleyel in Paris. The concert was part of a European tour and features piano improvisations exploring dark and contemplative moods.
The title reflects the introspective nature of the music, with pieces alternating between melancholic passages and moments of intense energy. Jarrett uses silence and dynamic contrasts to create an atmosphere of deep reflection.
Released in 1988 by ECM, the album was acclaimed by critics as one of Jarrett's most personal works. Unlike his standard concerts, Dark Intervals lacks applause between pieces, maintaining a meditative continuity.
