Keith Jarrett (born May 8, 1945, Allentown, Pennsylvania, USA) is one of the greatest jazz talents to emerge in the last thirty years. Able to play not only the piano but also the guitar, saxophone, flute, harpsichord, and organ, Jarrett stood out from childhood for his precociousness and musical talent.

Immediately after graduating from Berklee College in 1962, he joined drummer Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers in 1965, with whom he remained from 1965 to 1966, and later joined saxophonist Charles Lloyd’s group, with whom he remained from 1966 to 1969. The vast musical experience he gained with these two musicians led him to form his own trio with bassist Charlie Haden and drummer Paul Motian, with whom he made his recording debut in 1967 with the album: Life Between the Exit Signs. A magnificent album that would kick off his splendid career.

In the 1970s, he worked for two years with trumpeter Miles Davis, immersed in his electric jazz phase. Shortly after, he signed with the avant-garde German label ECM, and his debut marked the beginning of a successful discography. His first album, “Facing You,” was a critical and popular success. The end of the decade would bring Keith Jarrett the recording of perhaps the pianist’s best-known album. His “The Köln Concert” was undoubtedly one of the most important jazz albums of the 1970s. By then, along with other young European musicians, he had established an aesthetic and musical approach that served as a standard-bearer for modern, avant-garde jazz, drawing on a wide variety of influences.

Keith Jarrett’s career over the past twenty years reflects an astonishing fidelity to the project he began in 1983, when he recorded his extraordinary albums: “Standards. Vol. 1”; “Standards. Vol. 1”; and “Standards Live” with Gary Peacock and Jack DeJohnette. Jarrett fronted a conventional trio to initiate what today has reached the dimensions of an encyclopedic homage to jazz tradition. Jarrett, the pianist, was trained in the schools of Bud Powell and Lennie Tristano, not excluding the influence of Bill Evans, who is always present on his records, and became a role model for many pianists.
