Title: I don't get it.
Review: I'm a huge fan of Jarrett's standards trio work, his classical/baroque stuff, and, less consistently, his solo improvisational concerts. The 1994 Box Set of the trio's Blue Note dates and his rendering of Shostakovich's Preludes and Fugues are "desert island" discs. But I don't get it when great artists like Jarrett (and Pat Metheny, to cite another example) sometimes release this dissonant, anti-melody stuff. Is it hard to play this? Probably. I don't know since I'm not an accomplished musician. But it sure isn't very pleasant to listen to. Isn't that, at bottom, what music is supposed to be? Pleasing to listen to? It seems that the musicians themselves comprise the biggest group of people who enjoy this stuff. Maybe it is fun to play it; who knows. But I'll be selling this one used soon.
