Keith Jarrett interview in latest issue of Jazzit

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.

Live version of “Expectations” from 1969 available from ina.fr

A live version of “Expectations” (from the album of the same name, released in 1972), recorded for the “Tous en scène” TV show in Paris and broadcast on November 23, 1969 by La Deuxième Chaîne de l’ORTF, is available for download from the Institut national de l’audiovisuel Web site. A free snippet (20 seconds) is available. The full version (3:52) is available for 1.50 EUR (as a DRM-protected DivX video file, unfortunately – or as a DVD, but you’ll have to pay for shipping).

Keith Jarrett plays with Gus Nemeth (bass) and Aldo Romano (drums). As far as I know, this is the only video of this group ever released.

“Tous en scène” was produced by Pierre Desfons, Claude Ventura, Robert Bober, and Maurice Dugowson. For more information about this TV show, check out this blog post (in French).
