GG: Keith Jarrett

[Mary Jo Watts <mwatts@rci.rutgers.edu>]

I think the problem with the interpretation of the Time quote on Keith
Jarrett has to do with translation problems-- in English the quote
states:

		Time Magazine last year called Jarrett's recording of the
	Goldberg Variations the best since Glenn Gould's describing him as an
	artist "at the peak of a career that has spanned baroque and
	bebop... his playing is marked by a clean, crystalline piano sound, a
	keen musical intelligence and a technique that can handle just about
	anything a composer throws at him - or he throws at himself. At his
	best, Jarrett can penetrate the psyche and the heart in a way few
	other contemporary musicians can".

What the article *means* is: 
		Time Magazine last year called Jarrett's recording of the
	Goldberg Variations the best since Glenn Gould's. Time	
	described Jarrett as an artist...

Time did the describing of Jarrett, not GG-- the grammar is
misleading.  Time says that Jarrett's recording was the best of the
G'bergs to be released since GG's (it doesn't say, though *which* of
GG's is meant).

Hope that clears things up.
