I am sure most of you know by now that Keith Jarrett suffered a series of strokes over the last two years and essentially can no longer play the piano. It appears his performing days are over. This is a good time to listen and reflect upon his massive body of work and his overall genius. Peace and prayers. |

2020 can’t end fast enough for me. Another blow to Jazz, besides all that have passed this year.
I am so glad that I got to see him many times starting in the 1980’s when I heard him playing solo at The Auditorium
Theatre in Chicago. This was when he did his marathon improvisation pieces (30 minute long). Then starting back in
2008, when I moved back to Chicago I saw him several times with his trio and solo. I enjoyed every show that I saw
and he loved playing in Chicago because the audiences were well behaved. He has a huge discography to explore
and my collection of his CD’s will keep the memories alive. It seems like every year he pulls a new live recording out
of the archives. Check out A Multitude Of Angels box set, I think it is one of his best.
