In response to your comment about the Keith Jarrett Trio in their 1993 concert in Tokyo...the tune "I Thought About You".....I too, miss them very much, however, as a jazz pianist who met them all and attended many of their concerts, I discovered that I actually enjoyed listening to them more on recordings than in live performance. I first learned of the advantage of studio recordings over listening in live performances, when the late film director Alfred Hitchcock said in an interview how he hated to shoot on outdoor locations, because he couldn't control all the unwanted noises and the problems with sunlight. One very big reason the Keith Jarrett Trio sounds good on recordings is the fact that the sound of the recordings, whether made in-studio or captured professionally in live concerts, is always great quality. As someone who has recorded many jazz trios over the years, I learned early on that listening with the naked ear was never as rich as a recording, since ambient noises, echo, and poor placement in a room or hall decreased the sound quality. Good mic placement and good mixing eliminated most of the problems. Fortunately, we have these great videos, which, for the most part, were recorded professionally, using good micing techniques and good mixing. We also have all the ECM recordings that that Keith has done over the years, with this trio as well as his earlier recordings. There may never be another Keith Jarrett Trio, but there will always be the Keith Jarrett Trio recordings, and those will remain immortal.

+rwkenyon I think it just takes taking time and letting our inner silence grow--attributes that are not common now but are so desperately needed.

+John Rasmussen In my own case, I learned to appreciate jazz because I took piano lessons and trumpet lessons as a youngster. When a person has played an instrument and learns how difficult it is to really master that instrument, that person respects jazz musicians, who are not only capable of playing the notes but improvising on those notes. May God bless them all!

+rwkenyon That's true of me too. And I still play, more than ever. :) But there are many non-musicians who appreciate the art of jazz. Perhaps some of them might tell us how they came to appreciate it?

+John Rasmussen I am not a musician. I am a music-lover or, as the French say, "Je suis mélomane." Pretty word!

Not possible- something that everybody loves cannot approach this quality. To each their own.

Outro is more like classic Piano not so jazzy
