Jarret is an excellent artist; there's nobody else out there who has been able to make me enjoy listening to Bach's Well Tempered Klavier. Watching him play any genre is very entertaining as well, with his emphatic grunts and eccentric body language.
But yeah, I wouldn't pay to go see him live. Man makes Axl Rose looks like Donny Osmund.
Also, to answer the OP (who probably hasn't been here in three years), he grunts to "get into the music." Same goes for why he sometimes half-assedly gets out of his chair during certain parts. Honestly, that's more distracting than people coughing, but whatever.
