Keith Jarrett on the importance of audio sound quality

Thanks for the article. Will go read!

I listen to KJ and Peacock nearly every day! I didn't know that Peacock had died. Jeebus, I'm disconnected.

I really love Peacock's work with Towner, by the way.

I've read that KJ's live Blue Note recordings are especially good, from an audiophile point of view. Do you have any favorites?

hilde

yes the 6 disc blue note series is outstanding, recording wise, and of course performance wise

in general, all kj's ecm recordings are amazing - only exception i recall is standards in norway, was mic'd from too far away, big hall effect but music seemed remote

Thanks for sharing. I need to listen to more by him, but I have the Koln concert and adore it.

jjss, thanks. It's hard to mic a piano well. I've had some good times going from one classical piece to the next, same piece but different recording, to see how it was done. They vary a lot, and there are different ways to succeed, and many different ways to fail.

Very interesting article thanks...
