What? Is that Polymath I hear chiding me with a boisterous Caveat! just as one of his naysayers is bellicosely bellowing at me with a hearty F#$% you, I did too say why I like.
Polymath on his side writes, this sounds to me like elevator music -or at best like smooth jazz and This Salieri is nothing compared to Oscar Peterson, Art Tatum, or a host of others and I do not think Jarret's talent is remotely comparable to Oscar's -the difference IS one of quality,
Still, Id like to ask why neither polymath nor his detractors has spent almost any time explaining in CONCRETE MUSICAL TERMS why they either love/like or hate/dislike Keith Jarrett, or for that matter, Oscar Peterson.
The amount of energy Ive seen expended here in a veritably endless debate between polymath on the one hand and a group of his/her detractors on the other confuses me. Granted, I am old and easily confused.
The worst I can say about you is that you are an arrogant nobody who attempts to impress strangers on the internet by using unnecessary words and arcane language to convey stupid opinions such as that Keith Jarrett's playing is "one notch above elevator music". Your vocabulary impresses no one but yourself; people dislike your comments not because they are "intelligent", or because the references go over their head, but rather because they are awkwardly written and pointless
My language is not in fact terribly arcane, nor do my comments here contain a single word or allusion that one could not reasonably expect to be readily understood by any marginally intelligent adult.
And I think I can insist with well-founded certitude that my comments are no less gracefully written any of the others on this board.
In forums where the mean IQ of the interlocutors is rather higher than it is here, my comments tend to be well-received indeed.
"In forums where the mean IQ of the interlocutors is rather higher than it is here, my comments tend to be well-received indeed."
That is just ridiculous; I would picture you wearing a monacle and a top hat while you wrote that. It's amazing that you know how to use a computer I would think you would be communicating by telegraph, or perhaps by carrier pigeons.
And I would imagine you giggle when words like "molest" and "flaccid" are used in a nonsexual context, or when the 'William Tell Overture' is performed in concert hall (The Lone Ranger! LOL!), and have not the faintest clue how the computer you are using actually works.
As for your generically likening me to a stuffy Victorian gentleman, I'm sorry sweetie at least a dozen people have beaten you to it.
As it happens, I am presently smoking a joint and wearing an old Jimmy Hendrix T-shirt.
Ok crazy man; spell Jimi Hendrix however you want. Who cares about spelling anyway. I'm surprised they let you use the internet in the mental hospital. What medications are you presently on? Perhaps this explains your ridiculous musical opinions
Lord, it only took you a week this time; clearly I am severely outmatched by your lightning wit.
Here at the loony bin, they have me on a cocktail of Risperdal, Zyprexa, and Depacoat. Seems to have done some good, as I had retracted my "crazy opinion" of Keith Jarrett before you ever commented on this board. Indeed, it was the comment in which I did so that seems to have aroused your initial irritation.
Am I then to take this to mean that you do not *approve* of Jimi's playing?
If you mean to suggest that my musical taste in general is poor, I invite you to peruse my favorites, and see if you can repeat the accusation with any conviction or sincerity.
Whatever, this is just pointless. I'll agree with you- Keith Jarrett is elevator music, Jimi Hendrix is spelled "Jimmy" Hendrix and 19th century vocabulary is superior to 21st century. Maybe you'll feel better now and won't need to take so many meds? If so then my work here is complete!
This is indeed pointless on your end. Without exception, anyone so foolhardy as to quarrel with me gets his ass handed to him, and you were unlikely to set precedent to the contrary.
I think by contrasting what you take to be 19th and 21st vocabulary, you mean formal English prose vis a' vis the vernacular slang of classless street scum.
My diction seems outlandish to you because you are evidently unaccustomed to reading material that cannot be purchased in a supermarket.
If it will pleas you better, I shall henceforth take considerable pains, as you so scrupulously seem to have done, not to exceed the erudition of a mildly precocious ten-year-old.
Oh, and just be clear, I do not in fact take any medication at all; this was a joke.
I find it fascinating the extent to which people on this board have insulted polymath7. Those that have on some primitive level recognized their own latent inability to converse with any degree of validity have instead shown their inherent ignorance by resorting to base comments and irrelevant personal attacks that are certainly unvalidated and even more unwarranted.
Having command over the English language and implementing it to precisely color one's musings is a desirable trait and not an exhibition of pretension. I only wish more people could express themselves so eloquently. Your (naysayers and trolls) lack of access to a thesaurus notwithstanding, enroll in a debating seminar so your retorts might contain a smidgen of timing and tact.
Why thank you, labyrinth. I have just noticed your comments in returning to this video.
I see that it is among your favorites, and so your defense of me is all the sweeter.
Nonetheless I have never lacked the conviction to admit that I am wrong (there is no irony in this) and my assessment of Jarrett has been amended considerably (especially after hearing his Bach) since I posted my first comments on this board.
Your sarcasm would be warranted if I had implied anything of the sort. As it stands, I clearly did not and you are therefore simply whining.
The worst you can say of me is that I make no concession to the fragile, hyper-egalitarian vanity of intellectual mediocrity, nor to the increasingly common -and increasingly pernicious- allergy to formal English prose.
Your irritation at my refusal to conceal my intelligence is your own problem, not mine.
As for my "outlet for denigration", you continue to widely misread my motive, and I submit that I have been incomparably more civil than you have. Bring an impartial person to peruse this board, and see if you can dissuade him of your hypocrisy.
This is the true genius of our time. People will recognize after he is gone. To improvise with such theoretic accuracy is a gift beyond brilliance. The humming is and his dedication to the solemn attention an audience must bring is something he likely wishes could be different, but still if he should continue to demonstrate this amazing skill, people should respect him by not taking photos etc. whatever he wants. Listen to the Koln/Carnegie concerts, it was recorded LIVE: pure improv/genius.
Wow. You really believe this? I do not say this truculently, and I really have no wish to piss on anyone's parade, but I would be astonished if he were not quickly and deservedly forgotten when he is gone. I say again, this sounds to me like elevator music -or at best like "smooth" jazz. Certainly he is no Oscar Peterson.
C'mon man, there's more to jazz piano than Art Tatum and Oscar Peterson. That's a bit of an unfair comparison. Very, very few pianists have or will ever achieve the level of greatness in terms of technique that Oscar Peterson or Art Tatum have achieved. And besides, Keith has a whole different, yet equally worthy and remarkable, style of playing. To make such obvious and stupid comparisons shows how ill-versed in jazz you probably are.
I am well aware that there is more to jazz than Tatum and Peterson and could easily cite(and perhaps even insightfully discuss) "a host of others". I mention Tatum and Peterson because lately some fans of Jarrett have (somewhat to my annoyance) taken to comparing them on other videos. I don't want to appear as though I have kicked the door open to trollishly shout down Jarret's performance, but I also prefer to call a spade a spade. I suppose I could, if you like, attempt to expatiate...
Oops, I placed that reply under the wrong screen name. "alwaysright" is an intentionally invidious alternate I use to make deliberately outrageous and dim-witted joke comments (to see if anyone will take them seriously). Nonetheless I was (perhaps you seize on the opportunity to say "ironically") quite serious.
get one of his latest albums, the "My foolish heart - Live @ montreux" album in particular,

Were you addressing me, alexander? Such rancor! I am no saint, but I would never tell someone to "Fuck of and die" simply because he has dared to give voice to an unflattering assessment of an artist that differs from my own. The worst I ever inflict upon anyone is an occasional sardonic witticism -and even then one has to have said something uncommonly invidious. Do I really deserve to have a bounty placed on my head?
Pretentious, why? Do you say this because my comments are written in lucid prose or because I have the impudence to (politely) offer an unfavorable opinion of Kieth Jarrett? In either case, (or both) I fail to see how this makes me pretentious.
Half the reason you're so pretentious is because you can't see it for youself. "lucid prose" "impudence to (politely) offer an unfavourable opinion". You represent the opposite end of the spectrum. Most people on the internet can't string together a cohesive sentence, but you flaunt it and make it the thrust of your comment. I've got an idea, think content and not lucid prose. Don't try so hard and maybe you'll actually say something worthwhile.
Funny you should say this, as I am in fact a professional writer. I admittedly can be a bit verbose at times, and I'm sorry my liberal use of ten-dollar words is no to your taste.
funny, you write words like 'kieth' and 'fuck of' and yet you claim to be a professional writer. You write rancid commentary to people on youtube in a kind of pseudo-intelligent way to profile your intellectual superiority, yet you fail to make a decent statement within 3 x 500 available characters
i've read comments here probably written by earth's most brainless nitwits, and still i prefer their honesty over your -VERY uncalled for- arrogance
You will notice that "fuck of" appears in a quotation of someone else's comment, and I chose to retain his mis-spelling. As for having transposed the "i" and the "e" in "Keith" -which you and not I fail to capitalize- I fail to see how this casts doubt on my claim to be a professional writer. I write generally polite commentary, and my sole motive is to express my own opinion as directly as possible; If my intellectual superiority becomes evident in the course of this, that is peripheral.
Finally, though it is surely a gross exaggeration to say that I know nothing of music, it is not among the subjects in which I would hazard to call myself an expert, nor have I ever made any claim to the contrary; indeed I often volunteer the fact that I am not a musical expert. So there you are.
hey man, as long as you can live with yourself it's all good, i hope your intellectual well-being makes up for the lack of social skills.
the only reason i pointed out you obviously have no knowledge of musical qualities is that you obviously stated your views on 'this salieri' and the level of his music -what that may be- being half a notch above elevator music. Furthermore comparing Peterson to Jarrett is like comparing Mozart to Bach, the discussion would be one of differences, not quality
I assure you I am quite able to live with myself, as my conduct has been blameless. You on the other hand -like the guy who told me to "fuck of and die"- are obviously inflamed by the fact that I have politely expressed an opinion that differs from your own. At the risk of provoking further castigation, I will do so again. I do not think Jarret's talent is remotely comparable to Oscar's -the difference IS one of quality. This may not be evident to you, just as Mozart's superiority to Salieri...
...or Bach's to Telemann, was not evident to many of their contemporaries. I really don't see why my dissent should bother you so much. If you adore Keith and love his music, more power to you.
yes yes, everyone his and her idols and do not worry, i am far from bothered by your denigrating outlets, merely amused with you still comparing quality instead of style
Peterson f.e. came of a tradition of entertainers. Keith comes from a tradition of selfcentered assholes who impose their music onto the audience like Beethoven. His music is inward bound while Petersons is outward bound. Like I'm merely trying to convince you to listen again, while you're just trying to prove yourself right.
You presuppose that disparate styles preclude any sort value judgment. I think this so obviously untrue that I didn't bother to point it out, and am grateful you at least spared me the tedious apples and oranges analogy. Tolstoy and Dickens could not be more dissimilar, and yet it is by no means meaningless or futile to attempt to decide whether Bleak House or War and Peace is the better book. I see no reason at all one may not compare Picasso and Rubens, Wren and Wright, Jarrett and Peterson.
ofcourse, compare, but compare what ? quality ? on that level of practising an art in general, we stop discussing quality. but hey man, i'm gonna stop whinin on this topic, was fun two days ago, but now that you're taking two days to come up with such a pitiful response i fail to still see the fun side of this
if you're really upset and feel the urge to correct the flaws in my logics, write me an email, ... or something else, or go etch a sketch, or ... did i write something else already ?
Do you think your abuse merits a swifter response?
I am not upset, and I do not begrudge you the urge to upbraid someone who has expressed an opinion you find invidious -I was recently quite curt with someone who claimed Joseph Beuys is a better artist than Picasso- such an urge is understandable. But to then reproach me for politely and logically defending my point of view and act as though you are the mistreated party requires uncommon audacity, my boy.
Polymath7, In answer to whether you deserve to have a bounty placed on your head, yes you do! Your behaviour on here is disgraceful. Have you f**ked her yet?
I have been at least as civil as those who have chosen to castigate me without the slightest provocation, and if I am entirely unable discover the slightest reason why, in the course of defending myself, I am in any way obliged to exceed the tact with which
I have been assailed, I am equally at a loss as to this may be considered remotely blameworthy.
I've no doubt you're eager to tell me, and if in the...
...highly unlikely event you are actually able to offer cogent argument to this effect, I promise this shall be received with the charmed amusement with which one views acrobats at a circus.
So by all means, let us hear your dribbling reply. I can spare a moment, and it is but a small exertion to crush another insect beneath my heel.
Oh shut up your naive waffle poly. You are only using this site to check that your interfering injections are being noticed as a replacement of your real life. Online anonymity has been the birth of narcissistic natures like yourself. This is purely for my amusement when I have a little empty time on my hands to muddle your feathers. Unlike yourself Poly, who a self proclaimed professional writer who oddly spends much of their time with YouTube monitoring their ego and its responses....
...I spend most of my time chuckling at insectual species like you. Lol! Use your heal, and enjoy, as a narcissist you have very little happiness, unlike the me, accounting for many others, who laugh, AT YOU!
Your power is important to you; fuel it and I will always light the fuse, stand back, and watch people like you BURN!
I wonder how you are privy to the information upon which (presumably) you base your speculations as to my motives and my happiness, and what affords this banal and sophomoric speculation the certitude that is so lobsidedly overproportionate to its insight or its accuracy -for be assured that it is the thinnest speculation and widely mistaken.
(grin) Laugh at me all you like, inveigh against me all you like. This mere wind through a net.
...entirely unlettered, has a frenetic quality that robs it of all conviction.
I am underwhelmed, and inversely persuaded.
(chuckle)
Now then, would the toothless like to bark and yelp a bit longer, or shall I continue to hold him by the tail and flick his empty maw a few times more?
And it continues a narcissist! Actually, given your last sentence, you are also likely to be a devil worshipper. Were you the kind kid who was more interested in pulling the legs of insects to invoke your desire for power ? Have you ever killed/tortured a small animal like a Chihuahua? It certainly seems like so Poly.
Anyone who rates Tatum over Jarrett has no place to make comment about music.
Perhaps you could enlighten me on why you really think Tatum is above Jarrett.
Thanks for your perspective on KJ, it gives me a better idea of what people see in his playing/performance. Of course, when I view a video on UTube of Oscar or Erroll, I get the same "in the moment" capability just in a different style (perhaps we are comparing apples and oranges). You apparently don't pick up the negative narcissistic vibe I get from him? This I found most on his DVD but also pick up at other times. I met Oscar Peterson once and WOW what a nice person!
I rented KJ DVD from Netflix, I think it was titled "art of improvisation" or something. The guy is so full of himself it gives me the creeps. Then people refer to him as a "genius"? I am not impressed by his noodling around on one or two scales for ever. His playing of standards does not come anywhere near what Oscar Peterson or Erroll Garner could do. Finally, his classical playing is surprisingly decent but it is certainly not virtuoso material. So, I find myself in all very turned off.
I think Keith Jarrett's legacy lies in his ability to improvise in the purest way possible. His ability to be completly in the moment and draw inspiration from the atmosphere of the room, the crowd, The piano, and of course, his band mates in order to create the most intense and focused music there is. (More on this subject coming in a minute)
I'm not particularly fond of Gary Peacock's bass playing, but one thing I think he does as good as anybody else or better, is play with Keith and Jack to create that experience(mentioned in the first reply).
The same goes for Jack, even though I love Jack's drumming in general.
Sure Keith is fussy about everything when it comes to performances, but that's because he cares a lot about the art. (more coming.....)
You have to appreciate what it takes for him to put himself in the state of mind that he's in to perform the way he does. It's very sensitive and I would even go as far as calling it sacred.
Maybe I'm bias, but to me Keith's improvisation is consistently on another level compared to even the greatest jazz legends. To me, it would seem normal if Keith Jarrett gave me the impression that he has very little interest in other great players' music.
i accept your comment but keith jarrett is the best piano player ever!!! i saw the notes from köln concert and it is so difficult to reach this with your fingers. listen to köln concert its ( i don't have a word for this.
It's called 'Rider' and the clip is from the 'Standards' DVD. Really great DVD by the way. It has a nice version of 'God Bless The Child' and 'Prism'.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
come on hes just doing that to look more interesting.... why i dont know, but everyone has their own thing. Keith is just a bit more weird than most people. Deffinitely think hes just a showpony sometimes.
dude, do you understand that most guitarist and pianist these days sing and are taught to sing thier solos to make them sound more lyrical. And if you aren't at least slightly annoyed by his singing, then something might be off, cause for him to be a show pony he would need to be good at singing. Unless you understand the man then don't judge what he shows on stage.
i agree man. 90% of the time I have no comprehension of what I look like on stage while playing until afterwards someone asks me what the hell i was doing. Keith plays with a ton of energy and it just happens to come out that way.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Not only do I think Keith Jarret is a no talent loser who has zero imagination (and that's a fact and not an opinion) his weird sounds and contortions are extremely repulsive. He should study some real harmony, some fugue and contrapunkt from the German Masters instead.
Michest1, I was just wondering if you were ever tapped on the head with a wrecking ball. If you don't like Jarrett listen to someone that is more on your level. Jim Nabors, or Liberace might be nice for you.
The noise is part of his pianistic voice... kinda like kurt rosenwinkel when he plays, yet, i guess far less palatable to most... not me though. i love the way keith sounds... ALL THE TIME.
This man has been playing standars during the last 23 years.All improvised differently but the style remains the same. His solo piano concertos always remind me of gospel and debussy. It´s time that you should change.His participation in the american and swede quartet was more creative.
LMAO i laughed so hard when he started sounding like cart man and dancing

As for your generically likening me to a stuffy Victorian gentleman, I'm sorry sweetie at least a dozen people have beaten you to it.
As it happens, I am presently smoking a joint and wearing an old Jimmy Hendrix T-shirt.

You are now flailing wildly my dear, and I hope for your sake that this hollow riposte is not the product of five days' deliberation.
Yes, I mis-spelled Jimi's first name. So what? This reflects only that I tend to type my comments swiftly, and was after all stoned at the time.
And yes, you could certainly say that I more than approve of his playing; I'm probably one of his more ardent fans.

Lord, it only took you a week this time; clearly I am severely outmatched by your lightning wit.
Here at the loony bin, they have me on a cocktail of Risperdal, Zyprexa, and Depacoat. Seems to have done some good, as I had retracted my "crazy opinion" of Keith Jarrett before you ever commented on this board. Indeed, it was the comment in which I did so that seems to have aroused your initial irritation.

Whatever, this is just pointless. I'll agree with you- Keith Jarrett is elevator music, Jimi Hendrix is spelled "Jimmy" Hendrix and 19th century vocabulary is superior to 21st century. Maybe you'll feel better now and won't need to take so many meds? If so then my work here is complete!
EchoCannon89 3 years ago
This is indeed pointless on your end. Without exception, anyone so foolhardy as to quarrel with me gets his ass handed to him, and you were unlikely to set precedent to the contrary.
I think by contrasting what you take to be 19th and 21st vocabulary, you mean formal English prose vis a' vis the vernacular slang of classless street scum.
My diction seems outlandish to you because you are evidently unaccustomed to reading material that cannot be purchased in a supermarket.

Having command over the English language and implementing it to precisely color one's musings is a desirable trait and not an exhibition of pretension. I only wish more people could express themselves so eloquently.

Why thank you, labyrinth. I have just noticed your comments in returning to this video.
I see that it is among your favorites, and so your defense of me is all the sweeter.

This is the true genius of our time. People will recognize after he is gone. To improvise with such theoretic accuracy is a gift beyond brilliance. The humming is and his dedication to the solemn attention an audience must bring is something he likely wishes could be different, but still if he should continue to demonstrate this amazing skill, people should respect him by not taking photos etc. whatever he wants. Listen to the Koln/Carnegie concerts, it was recorded LIVE: pure improv/genius.

Wow. You really believe this? I do not say this truculently, and I really have no wish to piss on anyone's parade, but I would be astonished if he were not quickly and deservedly forgotten when he is gone. I say again, this sounds to me like elevator music -or at best like "smooth" jazz. Certainly he is no Oscar Peterson.
polymath7 3 years ago
C'mon man, there's more to jazz piano than Art Tatum and Oscar Peterson. That's a bit of an unfair comparison. Very, very few pianists have or will ever achieve the level of greatness in terms of technique that Oscar Peterson or Art Tatum have achieved. And besides, Keith has a whole different, yet equally worthy and remarkable, style of playing. To make such obvious and stupid comparisons shows how ill-versed in jazz you probably are.
HigashiSeiun 3 years ago
I am well aware that there is more to jazz than Tatum and Peterson and could easily cite(and perhaps even insightfully discuss) "a host of others". I mention Tatum and Peterson because lately some fans of Jarrett have (somewhat to my annoyance) taken to comparing them on other videos. I don't want to appear as though I have kicked the door open to trollishly shout down Jarret's performance, but I also prefer to call a spade a spade. I suppose I could, if you like, attempt to expatiate...

Half the reason you're so pretentious is because you can't see it for youself. "lucid prose" "impudence to (politely) offer an unfavourable opinion". You represent the opposite end of the spectrum. Most people on the internet can't string together a cohesive sentence, but you flaunt it and make it the thrust of your comment. I've got an idea, think content and not lucid prose. Don't try so hard and maybe you'll actually say something worthwhile.

funny, you write words like 'kieth' and 'fuck of' and yet you claim to be a professional writer. You write rancid commentary to people on youtube in a kind of pseudo-intelligent way to profile your intellectual superiority, yet you fail to make a decent statement within 3 x 500 available characters
i've read comments here probably written by earth's most brainless nitwits, and still i prefer their honesty over your -VERY uncalled for- arrogance
it is also obvious you know nothing of music
soddom0312 3 years ago
You will notice that "fuck of" appears in a quotation of someone else's comment, and I chose to retain his mis-spelling. As for having transposed the "i" and the "e" in "Keith" -which you and not I fail to capitalize- I fail to see how this casts doubt on my claim to be a professional writer. I write generally polite commentary, and my sole motive is to express my own opinion as directly as possible; If my intellectual superiority becomes evident in the course of this, that is peripheral.
polymath7 3 years ago
Finally, though it is surely a gross exaggeration to say that I know nothing of music, it is not among the subjects in which I would hazard to call myself an expert, nor have I ever made any claim to the contrary; indeed I often volunteer the fact that I am not a musical expert. So there you are.
"fuck of and die"
polymath7 3 years ago
hey man, as long as you can live with yourself it's all good, i hope your intellectual well-being makes up for the lack of social skills.
the only reason i pointed out you obviously have no knowledge of musical qualities is that you obviously stated your views on 'this salieri' and the level of his music -what that may be- being half a notch above elevator music. Furthermore comparing Peterson to Jarrett is like comparing Mozart to Bach, the discussion would be one of differences, not quality
soddom0312 3 years ago
I assure you I am quite able to live with myself, as my conduct has been blameless. You on the other hand -like the guy who told me to "fuck of and die"- are obviously inflamed by the fact that I have politely expressed an opinion that differs from your own. At the risk of provoking further castigation, I will do so again. I do not think Jarret's talent is remotely comparable to Oscar's -the difference IS one of quality. This may not be evident to you, just as Mozart's superiority to Salieri...
polymath7 3 years ago
...or Bach's to Telemann, was not evident to many of their contemporaries. I really don't see why my dissent should bother you so much. If you adore Keith and love his music, more power to you.
polymath7 3 years ago
yes yes, everyone his and her idols and do not worry, i am far from bothered by your denigrating outlets, merely amused with you still comparing quality instead of style
Peterson f.e. came of a tradition of entertainers. Keith comes from a tradition of selfcentered assholes who impose their music onto the audience like Beethoven. His music is inward bound while Petersons is outward bound. Like I'm merely trying to convince you to listen again, while you're just trying to prove yourself right.
soddom0312 3 years ago
You presuppose that disparate styles preclude any sort value judgment. I think this so obviously untrue that I didn't bother to point it out, and am grateful you at least spared me the tedious apples and oranges analogy. Tolstoy and Dickens could not be more dissimilar, and yet it is by no means meaningless or futile to attempt to decide whether Bleak House or War and Peace is the better book. I see no reason at all one may not compare Picasso and Rubens, Wren and Wright, Jarrett and Peterson.
polymath7 3 years ago
ofcourse, compare, but compare what ? quality ? on that level of practising an art in general, we stop discussing quality. but hey man, i'm gonna stop whinin on this topic, was fun two days ago, but now that you're taking two days to come up with such a pitiful response i fail to still see the fun side of this
if you're really upset and feel the urge to correct the flaws in my logics, write me an email, ... or something else, or go etch a sketch, or ... did i write something else already ?
soddom0312 3 years ago
Do you think your abuse merits a swifter response?
I am not upset, and I do not begrudge you the urge to upbraid someone who has expressed an opinion you find invidious -I was recently quite curt with someone who claimed Joseph Beuys is a better artist than Picasso- such an urge is understandable. But to then reproach me for politely and logically defending my point of view and act as though you are the mistreated party requires uncommon audacity, my boy.

Thanks for your perspective on KJ, it gives me a better idea of what people see in his playing/performance. Of course, when I view a video on UTube of Oscar or Erroll, I get the same "in the moment" capability just in a different style (perhaps we are comparing apples and oranges). You apparently don't pick up the negative narcissistic vibe I get from him? This I found most on his DVD but also pick up at other times. I met Oscar Peterson once and WOW what a nice person!

I rented KJ DVD from Netflix, I think it was titled "art of improvisation" or something. The guy is so full of himself it gives me the creeps. Then people refer to him as a "genius"? I am not impressed by his noodling around on one or two scales for ever. His playing of standards does not come anywhere near what Oscar Peterson or Erroll Garner could do. Finally, his classical playing is surprisingly decent but it is certainly not virtuoso material. So, I find myself in all very turned off.
VideoVistaVerite 3 years ago
I think Keith Jarrett's legacy lies in his ability to improvise in the purest way possible. His ability to be completly in the moment and draw inspiration from the atmosphere of the room, the crowd, The piano, and of course, his band mates in order to create the most intense and focused music there is. (More on this subject coming in a minute)
poqoia 3 years ago
I'm not particularly fond of Gary Peacock's bass playing, but one thing I think he does as good as anybody else or better, is play with Keith and Jack to create that experience(mentioned in the first reply).
The same goes for Jack, even though I love Jack's drumming in general.
Sure Keith is fussy about everything when it comes to performances, but that's because he cares a lot about the art. (more coming.....)
poqoia 3 years ago
You have to appreciate what it takes for him to put himself in the state of mind that he's in to perform the way he does. It's very sensitive and I would even go as far as calling it sacred.
Maybe I'm bias, but to me Keith's improvisation is consistently on another level compared to even the greatest jazz legends. To me, it would seem normal if Keith Jarrett gave me the impression that he has very little interest in other great players' music.

Not only do I think Keith Jarret is a no talent loser who has zero imagination (and that's a fact and not an opinion) his weird sounds and contortions are extremely repulsive. He should study some real harmony, some fugue and contrapunkt from the German Masters instead.
