INFO / BIO
«Jarrett, who is of Hungarian ancestry, grew up in suburban Allentown, Pennsylvania, with a significant exposure to music. He displayed prodigious talents as a young child and possessed absolute pitch or perfect pitch. He played his first formal public concert to paying customers at the age of eight and it ended with two of his own compositions. He took intensive Western classical lessons, and particularly enjoyed playing compositions by Bartok. In his teens, as a student at Emmaus High School in Emmaus, Pennsylvania, he learned jazz and quickly became proficient in it. Jarrett’s first album for ECM, called Facing You (1971) was a solo piano date recorded in the studio. He has continued to record solo piano albums in the studio intermittently throughout his career, including Staircase (1976), The Moth and the Flame (1981), and The Melody At Night, With You (1999). Book of Ways (1986) is a studio recording of clavichord solos.»
«The studio albums are modestly successful entries in the Jarrett catalog, but in 1973, Jarrett also began playing totally improvised solo concerts, and it is the voluminous recordings of these concerts that have made him one of the best-selling jazz artists in history. Albums recorded at these concerts include:
Solo Concerts: Bremen/Lausanne (1973). Recorded in Bremen and Lausanne these concerts were originally released as a three-LP set
The Köln Concert (1975), one of the best-selling jazz albums of all time
Sun Bear Concerts (1976), five complete Japanese concert recordings, originally released as a ten-LP set
Concerts (Bregenz/München) (1981), originally released as a three-LP set, only the Bregenz concert is included on the single CD release. The München concert (more than an hour and a half long) has not yet been reissued on CD, apart from a ten minute section on the :rarum collection which was compiled by Jarrett himself. According to the ECM website however, a reissue is in the works.
Dark Intervals (1988) recorded in Japan, it is the first of Jarrett’s live solo albums to feature shorter, more concise improvised pieces rather than the more familiar extended improvisations of his earlier solo albums.
Paris Concert (1990) featuring a 38 minute improvisation, a composition (The Wind) and a blues.
Vienna Concert (1991), which Jarrett has stated is his finest solo concert recording
La Scala (1997), which was the first ever non classical concert in Milan’s La Scala Opera House
Radiance (2005)
The Carnegie Hall Concert (2006).»
