Sandner Wolfgang - Keith Jarrett A Biography - Hardcover

Binding: Hardcover
Description: 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 K ln 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 H ndel Bart k 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.
