Keith JarrettKeith Jarrett, born on May 8, 1945, in Allentown, Pennsylvania, is an acclaimed American pianist and composer known for his work across jazz, jazz fusion, and classical music. He began his career with notable musicians such as Art Blakey and Miles Davis, achieving fame for his improvisational style and diverse influences, including jazz, classical, gospel, and folk music. Jarrett's best-selling album, The Köln Concert (1975), cemented his status in music history, while his Standards Trio became one of jazz's premier groups over more than 25 years. Following health issues, including strokes that affected his ability to perform, Jarrett's last active years were marked by significant contributions to the field until his retirement.
