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.

You might notice that Keith Jarrett did not last very long with Miles and that none of Mile's players at the time ever related to Jarrett again very much unlike say, Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter who are glued together at the hips. 
I have an original vinyl copy of the Sun Bear Concerts. Only one LP was ever played, once. It is a testament to a man whose ego is the largest Jazz has ever seen. I just remember him for his phenomenal singing voice.
Needless to say I have no interest in whatever he thinks of high fidelity reproduction.
