Description
'Serious music,' first solo 'free improvisations,' and the musicians who would help mould Jarrett‘s ensemble style: Dewey Redman, Gary Peacock, Paul Motian, Jan Garbarek, and especially Jack DeJohnette. Audiences in the United States were especially surprised by the repeated transformations of this jazz pianist – now turned into a composer of music with a serious, classical nature.
