Keith's vocalizing is more annoying than pleasant.
The true master of that is Tigran Hamassiyan. He took a lot from Keith's skill and other talented jazz musicians and created prog-jazz band. His skill is the next level from Keith by all means.
The Ventriloquism of Keith Jarrett
I've been a fan of his for eons and have many of his recordings. When I first heard him making his vocal noises during parts of his playing, I thought, 'WTF is that damn noise!?!" Hated it, but got used to it.
Just now, I thought I'd put on one of his live concerts via YouTube to listen to while working. On video, I hear his vocalization but don't really see his mouth moving at all.
It's like he's a ventriloquist or something.
Not important at all, but thought I'd share anyways.
Cheers, all.

@jjss49 You took the exact words out of my mouth. I'll tell you who's worse that Jarrett, and that's the pianist Masabumi Kikuchi, RIP. What a wonderful player, but my god, he mouth was at odds with what his fingers were doing on the piano. Check out Helen Merrill's You and the Night and the Music to witness the tragedy. |
+1 for @tomcy6 ’s and the OP's use of ’I’... a critical and important distinction. |
