According to KeithJarrett.it, there’s an interview with Keith Jarrett by Stuart Nicholson in the latest (January/February 2010) issue of Jazzit, an Italian jazz magazine. They’re discussing “Paris / London: Testament”, among other things. I don’t know if the original interview (in English) is available anywhere at the moment.

Update (January 17, 2010). Thanks to Uwe for letting me know that the original interview (in English) has been published in issue #135 (October 2009) of Jazzwise, which can be ordered from jazzwise.com.

According to ECM Records, the next trio album will be entitled “Yesterdays” and released in January 2009. The December issue of Downbeat, which includes a 5-page article about Keith Jarrett, mentions that the album is a live recording from one or several concerts from 2001 in Tokyo. Steve Lake, from ECM Records, adds that the album will consist of “eight pieces from April 30, 2001 at Metropolitan Festival Hall, plus one piece recorded at a sound-check on April 24 at Orchard Hall”.
