Today, 8 May 2025, is jazz pianist Keith Jarrett’s 80th birthday. Although he has sadly been unable to play piano since two strokes in 2018 left his left arm paralyzed, we still have the legacy of his many recordings, including a new release announced today by ECM Records of a 2016 solo performance in Vienna. I saw him once in Princeton, New Jersey, on 13 April 1990, with Gary Peacock (bass) and Jack DeJohnette (drums) in a trio concert I remember for several long, grooving codas. That was also the only time I ever saw Peacock (1935-2020), but I have been lucky to see DeJohnette (b. 1942) ten times since 1984. (Andrew Shields, #111Words, 8 May 2025)
