It makes Jarrett unlistenable for me. I always admired his playing, even as far back as the 70's I was wearing out vinyl copies of The Koln Concert and Facing You as I realized that as gorgeous as his solo playing could be, I couldn't ignore the yammering in the background. Totally distracting from the playing, IMO. I began to listen mostly to Jarrett in a group setting as on Treasure Island, to try to avoid the most blatant moaning, but it's mostly unavoidable. As teriffic a player as he is, these days I find I really can't listen to him. Too bad. I don't care what he says, or how any pianist justifies it, that moaning is NOT part of the music. It doesn't exhibit any special skill, and isn't even musical. A lot of pianists are guilty of it to some degree. It can be annoying when OP does it too, but he's not quite as up front with it as KJ. Jacky Terrasson is one of the younger players who's another really load moaner, but since I don't really care for his playing, it doesn't bother me too much.
