This exhaustively researched, revised edition of Ian Carr's classic
biography throws new light on Davis' life and career: from the
early days in New York with Charlie Parker; to the Birth of Cool;
through his drug addiction in the early 1950s and the years of
extraordinary achievements (1954-1960), during which he signed with
Columbia and collaborated with such unequaled talents as John
Coltrane, Bill Evans, Wynton Kelly and Cannonball Adderly. Carr
also explores Davis' dark, reclusive period (1975-1980), offering
firsthand accounts of his descent into addiction, as well as his
dramatic return to life and music. Carr has talked with the people
who knew Miles and his music best including Bill Evans, Joe
Zawinul, Keith Jarrett, and Jack DeJohnette, and has conducted
interviews with Ron Carter, Max Roach, John Scofield and others.
Keith Jarrett is probably the most influential jazz pianist living
today: his concerts have made him world famous. He was a child
prodigy who had his first solo performance at the age of seven. In
the sixties he played with the Jazz Messengers and then with the
Charles Lloyd Quartet, touring Europe, Asia, and Russia. He played
electric keyboards with Miles Davis at the beginning of the
seventies, and went on to lead two different jazz groups,one
American and one European. He straddles practically every form of
twentieth century music,he has produced totally composed music, and
has performed classical music as well as jazz. Jarrett has
revolutionized the whole concept of what a solo pianist can do. And
his albums such as Solo Concerts (at Lausanne and Bremen),
Belonging, The Koln Concert , and My Song have gained him a
worldwide following.Now, with Keith Jarrett: The Man and His Music,
Ian Carr has written the definitive story of Jarrett's musical
development and his personal journey. This is a revealing,
fascinating, and enlightening account of one of the outstanding
musicians of our age.
