And yet everything he does is highly listenable and unique. He is also a wonderful classical player who just so happens to branch off into fusion, folk-rock – yep – and the furthest out improvisation. But if you think that makes him a jazz artist, think again. Since he began playing as a child prodigy in Allentown his career path has raised exponentially from stints with Art Blakey, Charles Lloyd and Miles Davis. His musical output, which is prodigious, his effusive style, his wealth of ideas and his gorgeous music mean that you’d be a damn fool to try and define him. What can we say about this monumental talent? The truly great American pianist Keith Jarrett is one of that rare breed of artists who it is impossible to truly define.
