Keith Jarrett on the importance of audio sound quality

My little contribution to the forum.

Leave aside KJ is my favorite pianist, his trio my favorite trio (RIP Gary Peacock).

Found this article, him talking about the importance of reproduction quality of what he records.

Good read, many good points that elicit reflection and appreciation.

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.
