Geoffrey Smith compares the recordings of Keith Jarrett's American and European Quartets of the 1970s.

In the 1970s, piano icon Keith Jarrett divided his creative energy between two quartets: the American band, with saxophonist Dewey Redman, was more experimental; the European group, with Jan Garbarek more reflective. Geoffrey Smith compares and contrasts two notable ensembles.
