A Multitude of Angels is a four-disc live box set of solo piano performances by Keith Jarrett recorded in Italy over a week in October 1996 and released on ECM twenty years later.
The music comes from four concerts recorded in Italy: in Modena, Ferrara, Torino, and Genova, on October 23, 25, 28, and 30, 1996, respectively.[2] Jarrett recorded the concerts himself on a DAT machine.[2] Each consists of one performance without breaks; these were among the last times that Jarrett took this approach to performance.[2] After the concerts, he withdrew from playing in public, because of chronic fatigue syndrome.[2]
