Ethan's interview with jazz legend Keith Jarrett

My son-in-law Ethan Iverson, pianist with The Bad Plus, was asked by the BBC radio people to interview jazz great Keith Jarrett. The two met at a studio in New Jersey where Ethan and Keith had an animated discussion. It's the sort of insightful interview that can only be conducted by an insider - a man thoroughly passionate and informed about jazz thru the ages. That's my son-in-law.

The interview is only available online for a week. Five days are left to hear it in its entirety which I've done twice. Here's the link. Scroll down, bottom left.

Ethan mentions the interview was easy to do b/c Keith loves to talk.

For an intro to Keith's music, find him on YouTube here. The camera-work is phenomenal!
