Tried to see if the concert was still on but have drawn a blank. Is this show cancelled.

As I might fly down to go to it if tickets are still avaiable.

Many thanks for flagging this one Lontano - extremely tempting, even for one with as little Jarrett knowledge as I have! Smile

Whatever he decides to invent on the night. Whether it is good or bad, it will be an experience. His recent solo concerts released on ECM such as Carnegie Hall have been excellent. I will be there! Hope to see some forum members on the night.

Really tempted, but not sure I like Jarrett nearly enough to pay £60 for the best seats - and I think I'd find anything less than the best seats frustrating. Also I'm seeing John Taylor on 29 Nov and Christian Wallumrod on 30 Nov - three gigs in three nights = too much of a good thing? Thanks for the heads up, anyway.

Cheers
Nigel
