Keith JARRETT
(1945)
One of the most important pianists in the history of jazz, Keith Jarrett combines improvisational genius, sensual touch and haunting lyricism. Born in 1945, he played with Miles Davis in the late 1960s/early 1970s before leading his own groups. He became a world star thanks to the "Köln Concert", a double album of solo improvisation that sold more than 10 million copies. In the 1980s, he returned to jazz standards in a trio with bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Jack DeJohnette. He also ventured into classical music with recordings of Bach, Handel or Shostakovich. In October 2022, Keith Jarrett announced that he would not be performing again.
