Title: Hey. We're your audience. Please care.
Review: In the late 70s, I had a conversation with a fellow Keith Jarrett fan, but this guy was hardcore. I mentioned some obnoxious thing Jarrett had said in an interview and this fan said, "Oh, yeah, well, I try not to pay any attention to anything he SAYS."I'm going to have to go with the appraisal of this collection as being largely self-indulgent. I think it is flawed in concept. We all know that, for the most part, Jarrett did some preparation for his best solo concerts and improvised on themes. This idea of sitting down with nothing and just playing: That might be an interesting exercise for the musician, but it come close to being an insult to a paying audience (attending a concert or buying a recording.) I've played "Radiance" three or four times and there's not much here that grabs me. It would have been better if it was half as long. I'll eventually pull out the best of these pieces and burn a single CD.
