The most recent look at what Jarrett's been doing lately is the ECM
disc "The Paris Concert.", from a couple of years ago. While I'm sure
not likely to wax as ah....rapturously about KJ's recent solo performances,
I do think that the time he's spent messing about with the clavichord
["Book of Ways" on ECM] and playing Bach [WTC Book I is out, Book II 
is on the ECM spring release list] has rewired his playing in ways
that I find preferable to the recordings you're using as standards. I
actually bought a copy of the Paris Concert, and enjoy it.
