I have had Ian Carr's book, the only previous biography of Mr Jarrett, since it was published, but it is now way out of date.I have to say that I was rather disappointed - the book has lots of information, but very little 'soul'. I get the idea that the author admires Mr Jarrett's playing, but for me that's not enough. I love Keith Jarrett, despite all his idiosyncrasies, and his playing is not just technically brilliant but it has been an essential part of my life. I suppose I wanted to get something of that from the author (although not a hagiography).Of course, the book was written without any input from Mr Jarrett, who doesn't usually discuss his music or his life, but still a bit of 'love' would have been welcome.Sadly, ill-health has now forced Mr Jarrett's retirement.. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Yes biography *by B***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 December 2021* Still reading it as it was a Christmas present and enjoying the insight ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ IN DEPTH BIOGRAPHY OF KEITH JARRETT A WINNER *by S***T on Reviewed in the United States on 5 June 2021* I presume serious followers of jazz like me have amongst their jazz vinyl or CD collection, a number of core titles by pianist Keith Jarrett. From the brilliant Facing You, the massive Sun Bear live concerts collection and the multi-selling Koln Concert to later works including Live At the Deer Head Inn to La Scala , Radiance to Budapest Concert. These titles alone reveal the genius of this man and his intuitive, impassioned approach. However to find out a bit more about this very private person, author Wolfgang Sandner (thankfully translated into English by Chris Jarrett) has dug deep, including one small interview at the near conclusion of this book to reveal quite a lot about the inner workings of the man behind the piano. While born in Allentown USA, Jarrett has spent a lot of his time via European settings. Either as part of his Standards Trio with drummer Jack DeJohnette and bassist Gary Peacock or via his many European live concerts. Of course his main musical offerings come by way of prestigious German Jazz Label ECM. Interesting to note early on, is that on meeting ECM founder Manfred Eicher a firm handshake is all it took to confirm a recording life with ECM. It is these sorts of examples of information that make this book thoroughly interesting and there are many in-depth revelations at the pen of Sandner. He also tells of the back pain Jarrett endures owing to many years ago, helping to push a car to get it started. He suffered through the pain for many of his live recorded performances. The real essence of this book is in how on many occasions Sandner puts forward many reasonings at how and why Jarrett reaches and creates many of his classic recordings. This book is an intellectual reflection of the life of an astounding genius and composer, which makes one absorb and think along to every intelligent paragraph. I feel very proud to own this book. I gain more and more from it after many readings. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/270847621-keith-jarrett-a-biography-popular-music-history](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/270847621-keith-jarrett-a-biography-popular-music-history) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-05-23*
