| Share thoughts on Keith Jarrett The Koln concert an overdramatized, unmusical, bombastic ego-fest | |
| Share thoughts on Keith Jarrett He is so taken with his idea of his own 'genius' that his improvisations tend to be monumentally self indulgent, and what is worse, self aggrandizing. I find that he never really invents, but merely elaborates, which is different. Overly and artif... | |
