Priced at $90 on amazon, it is easy to think of it as a steal on grooveshark, but I guess as long as one isn't downloading, one isn't stealing, but I'm sure the record companies will eventually clamp down on GS as well.<br /><br />Jarrett played with Lloyd in his famous concert in Tallinn in the late 60s.

However, the live sets that Jarrett recorded at the Blue Note in the mid-nineties are very easy on the ears. The trio of Jarrett, DeJohnette and Peacock were on.

I heard them play several times back then.

When they met at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1969 (I believe), someone told Rahsaan about the incident, gave him a lighter gun and pointed him in the direction of Anderson.
