What distinguishes Jarrett's classical performances from his jazz ones?

  • Written scores

  • Different instruments

  • Pre-recorded music

  • Vocal accompaniment

Answer

In Jarrett's classical performances, written scores guide his improvisations, providing a structured framework within which he can explore his musical ideas. In contrast, his jazz performances are characterized by spontaneous improvisation, where he draws upon his musical intuition and engages in a dynamic interplay with his fellow musicians. This distinction highlights Jarrett's versatility and mastery across different musical genres.
