Jarrett Scolding
With a couple of friends, I go to a
Keith Jarrett
concert. We take our seats and notice the
unorthodox
set-up: there is a
piano
behind us set on a platform among the seats and the stage is empty except for a large stereo system. The show begins informally as Jarrett walks to the piano with scattered applause. He looks about 30 years old despite his current 60+ years and has a very playful attitude as he chats with audience members. I and my friends are laughing a lot at the quite unordinary atmosphere of this show but are really into the
novelty
of it. Jarrett begins to play an
upbeat
blues
tune and emits his characteristic verbal
exclamation
s over the music along with what can only be described as
ecstatic dance
before the
keyboard
. The song is short, afterwhich he walks down to the stage and starts the stereo going. A
Pink Floyd
song, maybe
Shine On You Crazy Diamond
begins to play and I laugh aloud at the sheer
surreality
of the situation. Another audience member nearby, a middle-aged woman in a fur coat, calls an usher over and asks to have me removed for disturbing the show. I protest
vehement
ly citing the informal atmosphere of the show and, in any case, the long tradition of positive
verbalization
at jazz shows. The woman tries to pull some kind of
seniority
by saying she's seen
Keith Jarrett
four times. I smile and tell her I've seen him four times as well (actually I've only seen him twice). She replies, "I meant to say five times." I sigh dramatically and appeal to the bored usher. He says I can stay so I sit back down and enjoy the show.
