Description
Speaking of Jarrett as a born soloist doesn’t mean he was somehow freed from the hardships of a regular pianistic existence. The solo recordings are the centerpiece of Keith Jarrett’s oeuvre, and it would be surprising if they didn’t reveal his personality, musical preferences and aesthetic standards more clearly than his involvement in other musical spheres.
