WAIT A SECOND!
Keith Jarrett is complaining about Burns and Marsalis being
"ultraconservative?" Keith "I will never again let my hands be sullied by

And Keith Jarrett is calling Wynton a "self-imposed jazz expert?" Keith
"pomposity thy name is Jarrett" Jarrett?
Strange. Silly. And a little frightening.
