Keith Jarrett

With Death and the Flower, Keith Jarrett continues his deep dive into spiritual jazz, pushing the boundaries of ensemble interplay and compositional form. This is one of the most expansive and cinematic records from Jarrett’s American Quartet, featuring Dewey Redman (tenor sax), Charlie Haden (bass), Paul Motian (drums), and Guilherme Franco (percussion). The album is not just music; it’s a soundscape of life, decay, and rebirth.

Death and the Flower is Keith Jarrett’s spiritual jazz masterpiece—a sprawling, emotive journey through sorrow, stillness, and sublime awakening. With his American Quartet, Jarrett dissolves the line between composition and improvisation, offering a record that breathes like a living organism—fragile, ferocious, and transcendent.
