Guy Berger Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Downloaded it today from easytree. (If the seed came from this board, thanks a lot!) Very interesting to hear the guy talking about music. I'd never seen any videos of the guy playing and that was interesting in itself. The footage of the Lloyd quartet and (especially) the American group were the best parts. The interviews were also illuminating. It was interesting to hear Dewey Redman and Charlie Haden give contradictory opinions on the American group. I thought the Chick Corea segment ("I'm going to have to practice really hard!") was very funny. I wish they'd gotten Charles Lloyd, Paul Motian and someone from the Cellar Door band to contribute. And it sure would have been interesting to have someone from that '65 Blakey band (which didn't get mentioned, unfortunately) offer their opinion of young Keith. Anyway, highly recommended!

Guy Berger Posted December 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 He said that he was working with Ornette, Haden said Jarrett needed a saxophonist, he auditioned, and "I got hired, I think". He then said something about how Ornette's music was very free while Jarrett's involved a lot more playing of Keith's compositions. To which Haden added, "but Dewey was playing very freely in that band." Dewey also said something about playing percussion and musette. Don't remember what else.

Michael Fitzgerald Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 I read that this is coming out on DVD on May 8, 2005. Looking forward to it. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Lark Ascending Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 It was shown on UK TV back in December (I think). Well worth watching. Jarrett comes across as far more engaging than printed interviews have often suggested. Maybe they just select the arrogant bits of interviews to print!

gnhrtg Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 I missed the documentary today on ARTE TV, but it is being repeated on May 20 http://www.arte-tv.com/fr/semaine/244,broa...,year=2005.html I think it's well worth your time - pity about the French voice-overs, though. At least they had the little sense to subtitle the parts spoken by Jarrett (but even the questions posed to him are dubbed). As it happens, I didn't even know that this was scheduled for broadcasting and got very lucky - turned on the tv, saw Jarrett, immediately stopped the music I was listening to and was stuck in front of the TV for the next hour, I think.
