Title: Ultimately Annoying
Review: Okay, first of all, I'll agree with the other reviewers: the musicianship of these three men is astounding, their musical choices interesting, the technical aspects of this recording exceptional. So why the two-star review? The annoying habits of one Keith Jarrett.The man makes noises that distract and detract from the performance. Imagine a Warner Brothers cartoon bee humming and buzzing through his nose for the whole concert - That's Jarrett. I'll be the first to admit that I found (find?) Glenn Gould's humming on all of his recordings more than a little charming. But Gould was always subtle, and in key - something that Jarrett cannot manage.I do agree with the other reviewers regarding the positive qualities. I do, however question their hearing (or systems) if they are not distracted by Jarrett's noise-making. it's as if one were invited to watch a master chef at work, only to see him pick his nose during the food's preparation.
