Jack DeJohnette

A master of texture and pulse, Jack DeJohnette is one of the most influential drummers in modern music. He began as a classical pianist before dedicating himself to the drums. His international recognition soared in the late 1960s with the groundbreaking *Charles Lloyd Quartet* and subsequently with *Miles Davis*, where his playing was a crucial element of the revolutionary album 'Bitches Brew'. As a leader, he has helmed innovative groups like Special Edition. However, he is perhaps most celebrated for his telepathic, four-decade-long role in the *Keith Jarrett* Trio with bassist *Gary Peacock*, a group that redefined the art of the piano trio for generations.
