Keith Jarrett The Man And His Music  Ian
CarrDa Capo Press, 1992 Paperback. 248pp. b&w illustrations £13.50 Keith Jarrett is probably the most influential jazz pianist living today: his concerts have made him world famous. He was a child prodigy who gave his first solo performance at the age of seven. In the 1960s he played with the Jazz Messengers and then the Charles Lloyd Quartet, touring Europe, Asia and Russia. He played electric keyboards with Miles Davis at the beginning of the 1970s, and went on to lead two different jazz groups - one American and one European. He straddles practically every form of twentieth century music and he has performed classical music as well as jazz. Jarrett has revolutionized the whole concept of what a solo pianist can do. His albums such as Solo Concerts (at Lausanne and Bremen), Belonging, The Koln Concert and My Song have gained him a worldwide following. Ian Carr has written the definitive story of Jarrett's musical development and his personal journey. IAN CARR is the author of Miles Davis and Music Outside, and is co-editor of the Rough Guide to Jazz. He played trumpet, flugelhorn and keynoards with the group Nucleus, and has made over two dozen albums. |
