Jarrett, Keith (sh)




born May 8, 1945, Allentown, Pa., U.S.

U.S. jazz pianist, composer, and bandleader.

He played with Art Blakey (1965-66) and with Miles Davis's jazz-rock group (1970-71) before making a series of solo recordings that won him broad popularity. His trio (from 1966) with bassist Charlie Haden (b. 1937) and drummer Paul Motian (b. 1931), later expanded to a quartet (1971-76), was highly regarded. By the 1980s his public performance had turned mainly to classical recitals.
