Jarrett is a freakin' genius. How in the world does he do that? He
at one point seems to be flailing his arms and hands around, in what
looks like random attacks on the piano keys. But every note is
perfect and in place.
Thanks, great clip Joe. Vintage Jarrett (and a cool 'Petrushka' quote
in Lloyd's solo).
Loved it. This is one of my favorite groups in jazz, may be my
FAVORITE group in jazz, yet I'm still learning to appreciate Lloyd.
That's how much I enjoy the rhythm section.
I was wondering that about all of them. I just can't musically think
that fast and don't know that I will ever be able to do so. When I play
that fast I end up falling into rote patterns.

Mingus, Byard, Dolphy et all doing "A'' Train."
Thanks for posting this, and for calling our attention to all this
cool stuff. I never saw Charles Lloyd before, so this is a real treat.
