Topic is FACING YOU. Good question, I understand what Jacob is asking. (To clear the board a bit: some of the improv albums have a "composed" piece, even KÖLN has "Memories of Tomorrow," and probably some of FACING YOU is barely a sketch. Still a good question)

@rschwim @ethan_iverson Is there another Keith solo album where he plays his own compositions rather than solely improvisations?

@natechinen @ECMRecords Thank you @natechinen for this wonderful update on the maestro. Assumed he wouldn’t be able to play again, and overjoyed that he is spending time at the piano again.

@ethan_iverson @bydumbluck No one better cough in the audience during the premiere!! But seriously, this is incredible. Can’t wait to see how they approach this moment in time that changed so many lives.

@88Keezer Ah, the killer be-bots ravishing jazz players who get a bit too modern in their playing!

@ethan_iverson @ethan_iverson this made me laugh. Have never really understood how someone who has an unmatched ability to improvise haunting melodies didn’t write more memorable tunes (My Song aside).

Thanks. Yes, I debated whether to print that line, but in the end it up to Jarrett disciples (like myself) to tell our most complete truth. Personal Mountains

@ethan_iverson A great paper about an extraordinary musician with some refreshing irony: „God touched Keith Jarrett on the shoulder and gave him almost every gift but two: humility, and the ability to write a bunch of memorable tunes.“

@tedgioia I’d love to see musical preferences correlated with political preferences. Would love to know if there are any MAGA jazz lovers out there!

Study of 350,000 people in 53 countries "found links between musical preferences and personality which are similar worldwide. This suggests that music could play a greater role in joining people and surmounting social division." gramilano.com/2022/04/musica…

@tedgioia @88Keezer It’s also ultimately self-defeating as viewing art as mere ‘content’ leads to commodification that ultimately drags down value for everyone.

@88Keezer Whenever I hear someone in the music business describe a musical work as 'content', I instinctively distrust what they are saying. That's probably too extreme of a response, but it's genuinely how I feel.

A study of 130,00 articles at 31 newspapers shows that when big companies take over local papers, the result is "an immediate drop in content." niemanlab.org/2022/04/an-imm… The use of the word 'content' is part of the problem. Did anyone describe journalism that way 50 years ago?

Frequency of chords—from a survey of four hundred songs (mostly traditional/folk/sing-along tunes). jefftk.com/p/what-chords-… Would look a little different if you chose, let’s say, Wayne Shorter charts.
