KEITH JARRETT:
Interview and Improvistions (at Jarrett's home) for a Swedish TV...
("My Song" and free Improvisations)

This is an old recording from a 40 year old VHS; impossible to have a better quality of this video...
Fantastic video. I wonder how many hundreds of hours of amazing improvised music where never recorded at his house and lost forever. Jarret is one of the best musicians of the XX century.
Someone once joked he doesn't play the piano, the piano plays him! But seriously I think the grand piano gives back ideas in the surprising sounds he makes and it's a feedback thing. His harmony and dissonance progressions are absolutely unique and often in the former trio that doesn't exist any more, he regularly invented his own extended ending to "standards" and the other two musicians would stop playing and just listen to his journey as he signed a piece off. You could hear elements of Bach, Brahms and Schumann in those cadences and I found that spell-binding - and like a gospel choir the sound just pins me to the wall and I find time stands still - and I return to the world in the silence after his last note decays. It's actually spooky!
It was nice of them to give him a Swedish TV. ;-)
An exquisite My Song! So glad I saw him twice, once solo and once with the Standards Trio, both in the later years. Love him.
This is why I love RUclips so much. Still, even now, every week people post content like this we never knew existed. His responses here are enlightening and to see him in his home studio like this, where we know he spent countless hours engaged in this kind of music-making is nothing short of awe inspiring. Those 10 or however many minutes he knew he was to fill up are packed with a wealth of musical content beyond what even an experienced listener can fully process in real time, so it's almost unfathomable that he can channel this music through his body from wherever it exists in the universe. It makes him a rare genius and master who's sophistication renders him difficult to appreciate for probably more than 90% of all people out there. But fortunately the other 10% includes enough folks who are open to what he does that from them a sizable audience has assembled through his life to date. I feel he's one of the musicians that people will be listening to, celebrating, and marveling at for ages to come. Thank for this post!
This is probably from Keith's appearance on the UK's South Bank Show, subtitled for a Swedish tv audience. I hope someone posts a better quality video of the whole show. In the meantime, thanks for posting this.
I’ve just watched this for the first time and I listen to Keith Jarrett every day since a long time ago. I think it’s best interview of him I’ve ever seen.
give this man a statue
This is a priceless document
He is the most deeply thoughtful and significant musician of our time. It's scary how much amount of work he has poured into music. God bless him.
KEITH JARRETT! This man is so in tune with Jazz and with improvisation that when you listening to the man all just sounds like a natural thing, nothing like any "hip" producer would come up with.
"So much of improvisation to me, involves the faithful daring and impulse of intuition. And the very second this feat is carried out, so vital toward the next event is the listening, which heralds the next attempt, through faithful daring and intuition toward the listening."wlp
Music from Jarrett was absolutely extraordinary: it is a huge risk and it requires a huge amount of courage improvising in a long performance using such a density of notes... but he did. Plus, many of his melodic and armonic inventions are absolutely extraordinary. Such an amazing and genius mind. Thank you for donating your beautiful and powerful music!!
What a joy to see him play My Song:)
I feel like I am witnessing a jazz version re-incarnation of Mozart, Bach and Beethoven. Never saw him in person but hope to at Berkeley in October! What a treat.
Hats off to Keith Jarrett, imagine the concentration it takes to play as he does, no wonder he got fatigued. I just love his musical conversation. What I adore is just how beautiful and free his sounds are, He paints so many pictures. He certainly takes the listener on a journey. He probably got bogged down in complexity and then found simplicity had it's power and its own value. Hence the beautiful love song to his wife. I can imagine she cherishes his gift.
Great program! I remember seing this on Swedish television when young; the critic explaining how and why Keiths improvisations were accessible to the listener.
What an inspiration he is. Thank god for Keith.
The best short interview/vid I've ever seen of Keith. Amazing.
