Sandner/Keith Jarrett, 1. Growing up in Allentown

Growing up in the small city of Allentown in Pennsylvania into a family with very limited means and intense inner tensions may have been a cause for Keith Jarrett‘s tendency to roll himself up into a musical cocoon. He was a „Wunderkind“ and trained classically from the start, turning to jazz in his teens. First important steps in his career took place with Don Jacoby and Stan Kenton.
