Great Bands of the 1970’s – Keith Jarrett
Craig revisits a key cog in the music of the 1970’s. We’ll hear records led by Jarrett on Atlantic, ECM, Impulse!, and Columbia labels. We’ll hear Jarrett’s “American Quartet,” the “European Quartet,” solos, duos, and in other settings. It’s hard to imagine jazz in the 1970’s without the exciting new sounds and ideas from this firebrand pianist, saxophonist, percussionist, and composer.
