Keith Jarrett - illness stops the maestro

 KEITH JARRETT

You know who is good for a Sunday morning too? Keith Jarrett. Now I have kind of left my interest in jazz behind rather with certain exceptions, largely keyboard players but not exclusively. One such is the master of the improvised piano, the interstellar Keith Jarrett. And we are deeply saddened to hear his recent health is poorly and we can expect him to not play live anymore and we wish him well. At the time of a launch of the  Budapest Concert from ECM seen as largely his best set yet even by himself (he cited it as his "Gold standard") and now even some kind of swan song, cruelly afflicted by several repeated strokes it would seem he can no longer play. This is of course a tragic disaster and we send him as much as we can by way of positivity and healing thoughts, love and best wishes . . . . . . .
