GG: Quote on K. Jarret
Dear subscribers,
I remember a discussion topic on this list some time ago. It was about
Gould's ideas about jazz pianists. I was on ECM's site today
reading about Keith Jarret's music. And suddenly, my two idols came face to
face.Glenn Gould was talking about Jarret. It was so surprising and
fascinating that I wanted to share with you. So here it is, a quote from
Glenn Gould:
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".

Do you have any idea where i can find the complete text or do you know
where Gould made the above comment?
