Keith Jarrett (*1945)

»You know, one of the biggest fallacies, I think, in art circles and in music circles maybe, when people talk about it, is that ›music comes from music‹. It’s like saying ›babies come from babies‹. This is not true. It isn’t what happens. Music is the result of a process the musicians are going through. Especially if he is creating it on the spot.«

»Music for me is the result of a process. It is also a process but it’s really the result of a process that has nothing to do with music.«
