Whereas from this he could learn how to escalate an argument. Nice!

The thing that struck me was, I didn't see Jarrett PLAY an arranger AT ALL. I saw him play two sounds off of a keyboard. A novelty vocal scat sound and a piano sound (curious how little time he spent on the piano sound...). But he didn't use the arranger at all, and the demonstrators insistence on trying tragically to get it to play along with HIM seemed merely to annoy him (as it would have done me).

It's pretty obvious from this clip that Keith has absolutely no interest in an arranger whatsoever. He might be interested in a sound it makes, but as far as turning on any automatic accompaniment, that seems certain he wasn't the SLIGHTEST bit interested in that!

Sorry, guys, I know they are your 'babies' and all that, but when you get to play with the cream of the world's sidemen, all an arranger does is demonstrate just how unmusical, uncreative and unresponsive it is. Maybe it can give a local slug a run for his money, but the guys that Jarrett plays with make arranger output look like the mechanical, repetitive predictable stuff it really IS.

If this clip was 'historic', it was historical only in demonstrating how uninterested in arrangers he was...

Me, I though it more 'hysterical'..!

(BTW, if Keith had done exactly the same thing on a Korg, or a Roland, or any other brand, I would feel the same way. This isn't a Tyros rant. They ALL suck compared to Keith's usual bandmates!)
