Every young musician must buck the odds

"We accept so many things that come through the media; we get used to them, however vigilant we are," Jarrett says, warming to a favourite theme. "But for any creative art, you have to remain 110% conscious, and in a world that's losing consciousness, that's getting harder. It's a hard job, and a lifetime job, but it's still up to every young musician to buck the odds."

His 1977 album "Hymns/Spheres" is of improvisations recorded on a pipe organ (Spheres is available on CD).
His 1986 "Book of Ways" is a great double album of clavichord improvisations.
Both are unique and personal favorites of mine.
