Known for his remarkable improvisations and unique rendition of jazz standards and classical music pieces, the most important jazz pianist alive, American composer and musician Keith Jarrett is coming to Istanbul for the first time, years after the concert he gave in the Istanbul Jazz Festival in 1996. And what’s even more, he will be accompanied by the legendary crew of 96’. Among the most important musicians of the jazz world, Gary Peacock is on the acoustic bass and Jack DeJohnette is on the drums in this trio performing jazz standards as well as their original compositions since 1983. In the past 25 years, the trio has been nominated for many international awards, including five American Grammy nominations. The trio was voted “Best Acoustic Jazz Group” in the Downbeat Reader’s Polls (1998. 1999, 2011), and Downbeat Critic’s Poll (2008), and the Jazz Times Reader’s Poll (2009).
