Keith Jarret transcriptions, solo piano at least, are amazing for jazz pianists to study.  His use of sustain-resolution notes in chords and melody throughout what he does is a real treat to get your mind around. After several years of practicing it, I've noticed that it's starting to happening automatically in some of my solo playing, and when I think about it, I can get really creative with the sustain-resolution idea. It adds so much inside motion to a piece that I wish I had understood the idea, or even had it in my head which seems to be the main problem for me with jazz piano stuff, quite a bit earlier.

can you explain your meaning of the term "sustain-resolution"? I'm convinved that KJ doesn't have a human brain. Wow, there's lots of transcriptions in that website! Does anyone speak French or can you read it in English? Dave Frank

I like the ways Keith plays the I chord with just root, 5th and 3rd. And the V7susb9 and V7sus chords in is turn arounds.
