Keith Jarrett

“If you already have a piece of music ingrained in your body, why would you not play it?”

“I can't even tolerate my own playing on electric keyboards. It's not about the musical ideas - the sound itself is toxic. It's like eating plastic broccoli.”

“We really never know what we're gonna play when we get on stage.”

“Music always turns into music. As soon as I play a key, push a key down, there's no theory any more. When I go and I hear a sound on the keyboard, all theories go out the window.”
