Keyed In – Joanne Brackeen – LP – Pre Owned Vinyl (Arrives in 14days)

Joanne Brackeen’s 1979 album ‘Keyed In’ stands as a testament to her unique voice in modern jazz piano. With this release, Brackeen—one of the few women to break through the male-dominated jazz scene of the 1970s—delivers a set of compositions that are both daring and deeply lyrical. The trio format, featuring Eddie Gomez on bass and Jack DeJohnette on drums, offers an elastic, responsive backdrop that allows Brackeen’s inventiveness to shine in full color. Each track is a journey, with her angular melodies and rhythmic twists propelling the music forward, yet never at the expense of warmth or accessibility.

‘Keyed In’ is more than just an album; it’s a record of an artist in fearless pursuit of new territory. Brackeen’s command of harmony and rhythm is matched only by her ability to conjure vivid emotional landscapes from the piano. For collectors and jazz enthusiasts, this album is a vital piece of the late-20th-century jazz puzzle—a snapshot of an artist whose influence continues to ripple through contemporary improvisers. If you value creative risk and musical dialogue, ‘Keyed In’ deserves a place on your turntable.
