Keith Jarrett on Radio 2006 

absolutely. And we are so incredibly lucky that Manfred Eicher went to so much trouble to document as many of Jarretts concerts as he could. They created an invaluable treasure of beauty for eternity.

Yes sadly I only got to see him once. I was fortunate to watch Keith perform a solo concert in LA at Walt Disney Concert Hall 10 years ago. He is my favorite musician and love playing his music on the piano.

He absolutely did so much with his playing while he did though! ❤

Keith can still play with one hand and he does. Check out Rick Beato's interview with Keith at his home.

greatest of all times periods

@@zacharyroth1364 Agreed.

@@zacharyroth1364 waaaaait a minute.... there were ART TATUM and OSCAR PETERSON....

@@jackcrane7853 yea they're really good and definitely influenced Keith but Keith's playing is so much more expansive. His absurd technical ability, pitch presence, and wealth of mastered playing styles makes him the greatest.

@@zacharyroth1364 might be. aint nothing like the SUN BEAR CONCERTS, but as a person he seems to be unpleasant, unlike the smiling giant OSCAR PETERSON.

"Keith is also great "??he is the great after God Tatum.

It’s a harpsichord, not a piano..

@@henkvandenhurk1135 ... the photo is of a harpsichord, the recording is a piano

It's a harpsichord, not a piano 😂

@@igotbluesdevils That's correct, yes. I was being facetious 😉

@@TheIllynow sorry, I assumed as much, but you never know on the internets 😂

I wasn't able to find the best photo, but he is Keith.

It's likely the harpsichord he has at home

In all fairness to Marian, she was 88 years-old when this was recorded; whereas Keith was about 60. So, that explains some of the "light years," although to be sure, they bring two completely different styles and points of view. I can enjoy them both. This was a wonderful radio series. I miss it very much.

I thought she played brilliantly here...was very surprised. Keith is always brilliant so no surprise there:-)

In terms of an arsenal of textures, colors, harmonies, virtuosity, yes, Keith is definitely ahead. But then, when she plays such a beautiful ballad in a very disarming and subtle way, these "light years" vanish.. She's never pretended to be more than she was as a pianist. I'm obsessed with Keith's music since 10. He's my biggest source of inspiration on the piano.

guscaldas3 I’m not sure that I understand what you mean by, she’s never pretended to be more than she was as a pianist, are you suggesting that Keith Jarrett pretends to be more than he really is? Jarrett doesn’t need to pretend, his brilliant playing speaks for itself. I’m sorry but I have to disagree with you about those light years vanishing. She was a decent musician, but not even one tenth the musician Jarrett is, of course this is just my opinion, and we all have them.

@@chuckc7375 Agreed and Marian would be the first to agree
