Keith Jarrett, Miscegenation & the Rise of the European Sensibility in Jazz in the 1970s

The eminent sociologist and jazz scholar Gerald Early examines the moment when Jarrett became an international star, the musical and social circumstances of jazz music immediately before his arrival and how he largely unconsciously exploited those circumstances to make his success possible, and what his accomplishments meant during the 1970s for jazz audiences and for American society at large.
