Keith Jarrett is one of the great pianists of our times. Before
achieving worldwide fame for his solo improvisations, he had
already collaborated with Art Blakey, Charles Lloyd and Miles
Davis. His ‘Köln Concert’ album (1975) has now sold around
four million copies and become the most successful solo recording
in jazz history. His interpretations of the music of Bach, Händel,
Bartók or Shostakovich, have also received much attention in later
years. Jarrett is considered difficult and inaccessible, and has
often abandoned the stage during his concerts due to restless
audiences or disturbing photographers. Few writers have come as
close to Keith Jarrett as Wolfgang Sandner, who has not only
closely followed Jarrett’s remarkable career from the 1960s, but
has also had the opportunity to visit him in his home in the United
States. For this biography, which is full of detailed musical
analysis and cross-references to other artistic genres, Sandner has
collected new information about Jarrett’s family background, much
of which is thanks to the translator, Keith Jarrett’s youngest
brother Chris. The book explores Jarrett’s work with other
musicians, in particular the members of his American and European
Quartets and his Standards Trio, it charts the development of his
solo concerts, and it also investigates his work in the classical
sphere, as well as the highly original music he has created in his
own home studio. It also covers his associations with his various
record labels and producers, notably his unparalleled relationship
with ECM and its founder Manfred Eicher. This English edition is a
significantly extended and updated version of the German original.
