I needed to hear this. Thank you, Keith Jarrett.

❤️🙏

“Most of us don’t let it go and let it happen, but I’m not most of us. I am a very special boy and I have this incredibly rare ability to do what the vast majority of you can’t do, even if you’re educated! Students tell me they want to play like me, but I can’t teach that because I’m so incredibly special that I can’t be imitated. No matter how hard these students try, they will never be as good as me. When I think about how great I truly am, I am in awe. I really must give my mother credit for raising a genius - myself. I also have the ability to speak on behalf of the most important Artists of the 20th century, like Coltrane. People don’t know what they’re listening to anymore. I on the other hand know what music is, and what it’s not. I’m so very importent that there is no need for me to prepare what I’m saying to you. If I forget some of the things I was going to say to you it doesn’t really matter because I am the most important person in the room. You are my narcissistic supply. You’ve been good but not fantastic like me. Thank you everyone. I’ve been great. Goodnight.

My talent is so immense that I mustn’t stop myself from letting my hands play. My hands have extraordinarily musicality and talent. It’s amazing just how special and wonderful I really am. Sometimes I stand up when I am playing and fuck the piano for a bit, it draws a lot of attention towards me which I really must have. It would be unfair to call me a narcissist because I am so much better than that. People will think of me like Bach and Mozart, but possibility greater because I play jazz.

arrogant ,,,snotty know it all vibe ,,lack of humility sorry i love his early best stuff ,,of COURSE there are rules !! he follows the rules he wants ,,

👍🇺🇦💛👌💙🙏

Picasso and Dali come to mind when I listen to Jarrett.

Wow. He is the opposite of a diva.

He is so very special

Brilliance at display, he entire talk about music is spiritual at it’s basis

What is that song at 0:14 ?

Keith Jarrett is a national treasure.

In other words self-centered

What an inspirational speech! Thank you Mr Keith Jarrett.🙏🙏. Legendary jazz pianist Keith jarrett quotes from this video: 1:04: "when I'm out there playing the piano, it's like my body knows what to do... if you tell it what to play, you're STOPPING it" "Stopping it, is stopping from playing something better than I can think of" (**In other words, to play from awareness/ consciousness/ infinite silence/true self!!**) "You can be educated to play piano scales.....etc, but you are still zero until you let go of what holds you back!" "In Jazz, the narrative is what carries the music forward and the narrative is the playing". "FEEL IT and DO IT". "Let music comes THROUGH your body". **Since May 2022, I have started playing piano the way Mr Keith Jarrett described. I started AWARENESS based 'infinite silence' meditation by Philip Wade (Insight Timer app, it's FREE!) In Jan 2022. Since May, I was surprised that I was able to improvised from pure consciousness (WITHOUT self judgement, self criticism, etc). Basically placing my hands on the piano and just let them do what they should do...... playing at MY level and MY ability, improvise so much better than if I tried to play via my limited self (mind). Not only my music is evolving, so is my life.... way less anxiety, depression...... This is a life long journey. A journey is BEing, living in the PRESENT MOMENT. BLESSINGS to you Mr Keith Jarrett

I prefer jacob collier 😊

Brilliant!

Thank you, Keith Jarrett. 🙏

Choosing Kenny Barron to make the award presentation was a perfect choice.In his playing and as a human being, he is class personified.

I admire what he said about audiences."...I need them more than anyone....all I want them to do is to try to concentrate..."

So truthfully philosophical. We are lucky to still have him although a stroke robbed him of his ability to play.

absolutely refuses to be a "jazz" musician. just a musician. and one of the greatest ever.

Profoundly honest my friend. Well said.

I love the answer about why he makes the noises when he plays …

God bless you Keith!

🎶💻🎶📚🎶⏰😨😷🌅✌ great promo for the N.Y. public library 2022

Keith would be an amazing teacher who would stand by and demonstrate the thing he wants to communicate without words.

This man is beautiful!

I watched him twice, once at the Carnegie Hall and the other at the Walt Disney Music Hall, in Downtown LA. In LA he was in a such awful mood he stoped the concert several times angry at a guy from the audience because the guy took a picture and he saw it. Right in the middle of a song, already to the end of the concert, he stoped playing and asked to the person on the side of the picture guy and said "please, punch him, I ask you to punch him, don't worry, the liability is mine, just punch him". He was overreacting, really angry, didn't understand the trigger that got him.

🌈❤️❤️❤️❤️👌👌👌👌💐💐💐🙏🥰🌈

Thanks for the great privilege to be among Keith's music listeners!!!

Totally geeking out. Kenny Barron introducing Keith Jarrett. Two of the all-greats on the same stage.

Awesome... It was an amazing few minutes listening to a Jazz musician link words the way a jazz musician might play... THANK YOU!

He’s a free spirit, not bound by what people think of him or his playing! The freedom we all are looking for … it’s a spiritual thing ! 🙏🍀

Keith always dreamt becoming a white man.He made his dream come true.Every year he becomes more and mire white,so white he will eventually become transpatent

Oh man, thank you, what a great genius, I came here after Rick Beato said that if you don't know Keith Jarrett you don't know music

I bet if he was born 300 years ago, we still would have heard of him until today.

Love you forever Keith Jarret. Thanks to YOU!!!

Amazing...!!! I wonder where he really came from!

"My left hand knows what to play" - Damn.. that hurt hearing that, knowing what we now know.. I regret not seeing him live when he played Carnegie Hall a few years back.. Be well, Keith.

I love Keith Jarrett.

誰か、日本語で翻訳して欲しいです！お願いします！

He’s great but he is a huuuuge tool.

This is one of my favorite KJ videos. Thanks. “Why would I teach anyone to kill themselves?”

thanks so much for uploading 🍀

Keith Jarret is on the autistic spectrum and he is neurodiverse, as he was never diagnosed and we never know for sure. Though as I am on the spectrum myself, I can see a lot of me in him and how I play as a musician. I can never tell if my hands are playing either, it just comes out from thin air. When I play saxophone, I will move uncontrollably when there is an audience with me. You need an audience for this music to happen, otherwise there is no music. Either way music can be created with no audience, you just need to have a image there is an audience watching you. There are so many times I hear jazz musicians not reaching into their inner soul and saying HEY REACH ME! The music that is coming out is soulless and meaningless, just a bunch of words messed up; like today's pop music with a crappy melody line. There are is no music without going in and being yourself, do not think well I am going to sound like this guy or whatever. Find yourself, your voice and your spirit; then your audience will become silent and amazed, and you will be remembered and loved.

that speech left me speechless

perfect words
