Man muss KJ jetzt auch nicht jedes Wort glauben, aber die Realität ist offensichtlich etwas komplexer. An den Hörverlust glaube ich absolut, ob das zwingend der Grund gewesen ist, vielleicht war es eine Kombination von Faktoren, bei denen auch Jack DeJohnette eine Rolle gespielt hat:
That’s a good segue for me to ask about your trio with Gary Peacock and Jack DeJohnette. After more than 30 years, is it really done?
Keith Jarrett: Well, I was trying to keep it together as long as I could. Jack wanted to do his own thing, and Gary was losing his hearing, to the extent that, given what we do when we’re a trio, he couldn’t actually maintain it. So it is not a trio anymore. And there was no adverse feeling, except that I was pleading with Jack: “One more tour in Europe. Please. I want to be able to tell you guys what this whole thing meant to me.” Well, I remember when Miles was pleading with Jack. [Miles voice] “Hey Jack, you know, just tell me what you want.” When it’s your group, and when you have lived and worked with those guys that long, and the music has gone that far, you don’t ever want to just drop it.
