Keith Jarrett, Gary Peacock and Jack DeJohnette Headline UCLA Live’s Royce Hall Oct. 26

One of the most prolific and influential trios in the history of jazz, Keith Jarrett, Gary Peacock and Jack DeJohnette make one of a handful of stops on a North American tour at UCLA Live’s Royce Hall Wednesday Oct. 26 .

Led by keyboard legend Keith Jarrett with Gary Peacock on bass and Jack DeJohnette on drums, the trio has performed and recorded together for nearly three decades, garnering five Grammy nominations, dozens of Record of the Year prizes and Critics Prize awards from U.S. and international music press.
