Recorded at Generation Sound Studios, NYC, October, 1976.
Remixed at the Burbank Studios, Burbank, California.



Here is another LP helping from the Keith Jarrett "American" Quartet's last recording session - one that is almost as consistent in quality as its predecessor. The happy-go-lucky groove of the title track perfectly expresses its name, with Jarrett blithely singing along; both Dewey Redman and Charlie Haden get plenty of solo space on Redman's "Gotta Get Some Sleep" and Haden's "Pocket Full of Cherry" (a pun referring to Haden cohort Don Cherry); and Paul Motian remains a marvelously flexible drummer. Moreover, there is another fascinating swatch of Middle Eastern experimentation on "Pyramids Moving."

Richard S. Ginell - All Music Guide



Bop-Be is the final album on the Impulse label by jazz pianist Keith Jarrett's 'American Quartet'. Originally released in 1977 it features performances by Jarrett, Dewey Redman, Charlie Haden, and Paul Motian. It is the last album recorded by the American Quartet and the final album Jarrett released on a label other than ECM.

To date, Bop-Be has only ever been reissued on compact disc in Japan, packaged in a miniature replica of the original vinyl LP sleeve. However, it was included in the four-disc collection Mysteries: The Impulse Years 1975-1976. This also applies to the Jarrett album Back Hand.

In a contemporary review for The Village Voice, music critic Robert Christgau gave the album an "A" and highlighted saxophonist Dewey Redman for his three compositions and dominant playing on what is by name only a pianist's album. In a retrospective review, Allmusic's Richard S. Ginell gave it four stars and found it nearly as good as Byablue, Jarrett's previous album with the American Quartet. The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide (1985) gave it three stars.
