‘Keith Jarrett’

Keith Jarrett returns to Brussels to perform one his rare solo piano concerts. The concert will feature an entire evening of solo piano improvisations.

A recipient of a US National Endowment of the Arts Jazz Masters Awards in January 2014, Keith Jarrett has come to be recognized worldwide as one of the most creative and uncompromising musicians of our times - universally acclaimed as an improviser of unsurpassed genius. Over the past 45 years, his landmark improvised solo piano concerts and recordings have incorporated a broad spectrum of musical languages evoking a dynamic creative process producing spontaneous music that is both deeply personal, yet universal.

The solo piano improvisations on his best selling ECM Records solo piano recordings Solo Concerts, The Koln Concert, Sun Bear Concerts, Paris Concert, Vienna Concert, La Scala, Radiance, The Carnegie Hall Concert, Testament: Paris/London, Rio and most recently Creation have helped redefine the role of the piano in contemporary music. This singular body of improvised solo piano work is without precedent with The Koln Concert celebrating its 40th Anniversary this year as the best selling solo piano recording in history.

"...not just the world's greatest piano player but our greatest living musician." Geoff Dyer, The Guardian

"Seventy years after his birth, and 40 years after his Köln Concert raised the art of solo piano to undreamt-of heights, Keith Jarrett remains the pre-eminent improviser on his instrument, capable of profoundly moving, spontaneous compositions. Creation his latest CD...  is a selection of sometimes brooding but occasionally sublime ruminations, culled from live performances around the world in 2014, amounting to an unintended suite many Romantic-era classical composers would have been happy to have written." Cormac Larkin, The Irish Times
