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?
