Life Quote by Ian Carr
““Peacock and DeJohnette have the same kind of integrity as Jarrett in their life and their work, the same values and commitment. Above all, they followed their inner needs and instincts and were always scrupulously honest: they would never continue to work with Jarrett if they could not commit themselves to his music; in such a case , they would simply leave. There was also a mutual respect of a very high order." "Keith Jarrett: The Man and His Music””
