Jez Nelson presents a special edition focusing on the music of pianist Keith Jarrett.

Born in 1945 in Allentown, Pennsylvania, Jarrett won critical acclaim as a member of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers and Charles Lloyd's quartet in the 1960s, before joining Miles Davis in 1970. He has since become one of the best known and most influential musicians in the world, winning both widespread mainstream success and critical acclaim for his work in jazz and classical music as a bandleader, solo improviser and composer.

Including an exclusive interview with Jarrett conducted by pianist Ethan Iverson of the Bad Plus.
