Hmm.... Keith Jarrett acts like he's kind of a rock-star playing the solo of his life... Joe Zawinul, Herbie Hancock, Larry Young etc. had more feelin' for swing and energy than Keith Jarrett.

@FunkySkunk90 maybe he is playing the solo of his life, maybe every solo he plays is the "solo of his life" what about it? you seem hung up on convention, each player you mention has their own aesthetic vision. Jarret had his and offered something unique at that time. Davis saw what it was that Jarret had and hired him; so the rest of us could see this great talent in action and hear some great music, but I guess it's simply not to your taste.

Sabía que Keith había incursionado en el saxo antes de darse a conocer como el brillante pianista que es, pero desde que se consagró como uno de los pianistas más talentosos del mundo, nunca lo había visto tocando los teclados y, mucho menos, acompañado de Miles Davis

I think George Duke and Todd Rundgren are to killer keyboard players. Just to name 2.

man i was still in jr high school when he did this show. man we were onto this scene by then. we were so blessed to have seen it all. from beatles to supremes to the tops to temptations to wonder to the monkeys to hendrix to the bubblegum scene to the psychodelic scene to the disco scene to what we dont have today. to bad that the monsters that run the scene today have the kids fucked up on nothing but nothing. to bad. we were fucked up on drugs :)

I feel like Keith Jarrett is always having an orgasm.

@digimaton

I agree with you both, I mean Jarrett plays one heck of a solo on this concert, in fact it's on youtube. Some of the best improv solos of all time. But then again, it was Miles (according to his book) that didn't think it was all that cute near the end of his tenure in the band. Miles got him cause he was and still is the best piano player out there.

@FunkySkunk90 That's the way Mr. Jarrett plays. The fact is he is/was(?) a genius. Miles admitted it himself. I do believe he moves his body a lot to try and make very cerebral instrument, the piano, into a physical one, like drums or trumpet or sax. The latter three are all very physical instruments: they take require the coercion of your whole body. Not so the keyboard.

damn dude i thought keith's solo was cool. liked it more than bartz'. way more unexpected.
