Keith Jarrett

Fecha de Nacimiento: 8 de mayo de 1945

Se trata de uno de los maestros del jazz de vanguardia, cuya producción más sobresaliente es una serie de piezas improvisadas grabadas en directo en Colonia, París, Milán, Viena, Tokio y otras ciudades. Probablemente estos sean sus trabajos más famosos, pero es sin duda un enorme virtuoso. Muy versátil, Keith ha interpretado, igualmente, música de autores del barroco europeo.

También interpreta piezas para piano clásico, clavicordio, clavecín y órgano. Ha grabado varios discos de música clásica, interpretando obras de Bach, Händel, Mozart y Shostakovich, entre otros.

Jarrett tiene la reputación de ser un perfeccionista excéntrico y, mientras toca, suele vocalizar de forma expresiva. Su agente musical es Steven Cloud.

Tras sufrir dos derrames cerebrales en 2018 que le dejaron secuelas, anunció en 2020 su retirada de la interpretación.
