My Song (Keith Jarrett album)

My Song is a studio album by American jazz pianist Keith Jarrett, released in 1978 by ECM Records. It features Jarrett alongside Jan Garbarek on tenor and soprano saxophone, Palle Danielsson on bass, and Jon Christensen on drums.

The album is a notable example of Jarrett's "European Quartet," a group that recorded several influential albums for ECM characterized by a lyrical, melodic style blending jazz improvisation with elements of folk music and a distinctive Scandinavian sound.

My Song is generally considered one of the highlights of the European Quartet's output. It showcases Jarrett's ability to craft memorable melodies and the ensemble's sensitive interplay. Garbarek's distinctive saxophone tone is a defining characteristic of the album's sound. The album is often praised for its accessible and emotionally resonant qualities. The title track, "My Song," is one of Jarrett's most well-known compositions.
