Rick Beato has finally published his interview with Keith Jarrett on his YouTube channel. It was recorded in early December 2022. This is to my knowledge the first and only recording of Keith (including him playing the piano!) since his last concert on February 15, 2017.

An interview with Keith Jarrett by Michael Jackson, At Home With Keith Jarrett, is available in the March 2023 issue of DownBeat.
“In a wide-ranging conversation, the legendary pianist, relaxed in his New Jersey home, speaks to everything from his legacy, his favorite artists and the coolness of his sunglasses to the strokes that have left him able to play piano only with his right hand, something he’s not willing to do in public.”
Thanks to Håvard for the information.
An upcoming film, Köln 75, directed by Ido Fluk, was briefly mentioned in a recent piece by NPR.
“Köln 75” tells the true story of Vera Brandes, who, in 1975 and at the age of 17, staged the famous Köln Concert by jazz musician Keith Jarrett, which became the top-selling jazz solo album of all time.
It was first announced in an article by Variety a few months ago. It will feature John Magaro as Keith Jarrett.
Thanks to Jamie for the information.
Update (January 19, 2024). The film is now called The Girl from Köln according to IMDb. Thanks to Nate for the information.
