With Idris Muhammad, Bobby Watson and James Spaulding in 1983 (when the trumpeter was gigging for Archie Shepp and Frank Wright). Glowing, spiritual jazz, featuring the jazz dance classic Brotherhood.

The celebrated three-hour set of this close collaborator of Flying Lotus and Kendrick Lamarr.
Two drummers, two bassists, two keyboardists, trumpet, trombone and vocals, plus string orchestra and full choir.
‘The music reflects many inspirations — John Coltrane, Horace Tapscott’s Pan-African People’s Arkestra, Azar Lawrence’s Prestige period, Donald Byrd’s and Eddie Gale’s jazz and choir explorations, Pharoah Sanders’ pan global experiments, Afro-Latin jazz, spiritual soul, and DJ culture… It challenges the cultural conversation about jazz without compromising or pandering’ (AllMusic).

Music written for Angelopoulos’ film, featuring the viola of Kim Kashkashian, alongside oboe, accordion, voice, trumpet, french horn and cello.

With Gary Peacock and Jack DeJohnette, live in 2001 — this trio at its peak — kicking off with a Cole Porter and closing with a heart-rending solo piano reading of It’s All In The Game.

A quartet session, with Jan Garbarek.

Live in Brazil, April, 2011. ‘At his most exuberant… it’s a must’ (The Guardian). ‘Beautifully structured, jazzy, serious, sweet, playful, warm, economical, energetic, passionate’ (KJ. His mum likes it, too).

With Jan Garbarek, Palle Danielsson and Jon Christensen at Tokyo’s Nakano Sun Plaza in April 1979.

Live in Juan-les-Pins, 2002, with Peacock and DeJohnette, with two Miles’ and Autumn Leaves magnificently revisited.

With Gary Peacock, Jack DeJohnette.

‘A spontaneous solo suite interspersing touches of the blues and folksong lyricism between pieces of polyrhythmic and harmonic complexity… one of his very finest performances. An attentive and appreciative audience hangs on every note, every nuance, and is rewarded with some tender encores including a magical version of It’s A Lonesome Old Town.’

Enjoyably odd, wrong folk rock with baroque touches, from 1968. Jarrett plays everything — guitar, harmonica, soprano saxophone, recorder, piano, organ, electric bass, drums, tambourine and sistra — adding a string quartet here and there. He also sings, though it’s better when he doesn’t. Nearly all the tracks are two to three minutes.

Tangily raw and fresh piano-trio jazz from 1974.
The title track and Triangle are ace, funky jazz-dance. The Journey is gnarlier funk. Robyn’s Lullaby and Nothing New are hazier, evocative, impressionistic.
Tiny pressing.

Wildly compelling tapestry of free jazz, dubby electronics, marimba grooves, funk, blues and African folk, recorded in Philadelphia in 1972.
‘My ancestors eventually show up in my music every time I play. I’ve always said that my backyard is Africa.’
