Advent 2024
I really like Keith Jarrett, and this may have to do with my parents' wedding.
They were married outside on a big rock, and despite this, they had organ music for their entrance: a cut from Jarrett's Hymns & Spheres.
The residue from this moment and my experience listening to his playing has made me a fan -- and more than that. I myself improvise now, and I can only aspire to have this beautiful, often genreless, pure, emotional approach to this art.
I have no idea, moment to moment, how to prepare for these things, either. What actually happens is so much in the moment, so much of a nanosecond. And I know a lot of people probably are skeptical about whether they really are always improvised. I myself feel skeptical, even though I know they were.
A fascinating interview with Jarrett on NPR about his newest album: Keith Jarrett: Alone in Rio and Ready to Fail
I've written about Jarrett here before: improvisation - art of and improvisation - Keith Jarrett
Labels: improvisation, Jarrett
