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.

I think Jarrett's live recordings are great, because no one in the audience dare make a single noise...he's famous for walking off the stage and leaving the theater over the smallest audience noise.  God help the poor patron who leaves his/her cell phone on ring.

Actually, a few years ago, the New York Philharmonic actually stopped a performance when a cell phone went off in the audience.  Not cool for the wealthy patrons who paid upward of $300 for a front-row seat.
