#56: Program #56

New Sounds | May 24, 2010
In this April 21, 1987 show, John visited pianist Keith Jarrett - not in the usual confines of the WNYC studios, but on Jarrett's front porch near the Delaware River in New Jersey. Jarrett discusses his 1986 two-disc set "Spirits," in which he plays flutes, recorder, saxophone, tabla, guitar and yes, even the piano. We also hear some selections from his ECM release, Invocation/The Moth and the Flame.
