Keith Jarrett on the importance of audio sound quality


My little contribution to the forum.

Leave aside KJ is my favorite pianist, his trio my favorite trio (RIP Gary Peacock).

Found this article, him talking about the importance of reproduction quality of what he records.

Good read, many good points that elicit reflection and appreciation.

Jarrett played a special piano with 97 keys called a Bosendorfer because he liked the additional body in the sound produced by the resonance of the additional bass notes. 

I adore Jarrett's playing but I find him unlistenable because of his quirky vocalizations he does while playing. I just can't get past it.
