Keith Jarrett in Paris - mid 20th Century
from The Great Jazz Pianists: Speaking of Their Lives and Music, page 296:
Who are some of the improvisers that have impressed you?
The funny thing is that it's the process of improvising that impressed me. That's more important than the product. The people who influenced me were people I never heard, which may sound a little strange.
Yes, it does.
I once went to a "blindfold test" in Paris, and I knew who Bud Powell was, even though I never listened to his records. Well, maybe I heard them without realizing it.
