About this album

Keyed In is a sharp, exploratory jazz statement that highlights Joanne Brackeen’s imaginative piano playing and distinctive writing. Issued in 1979, the album finds her balancing rhythmic drive with a flexible, searching approach to harmony and form, giving the music both structure and surprise. Brackeen was already recognised as one of the most original pianists of her generation, and this set reinforces that reputation with pieces that move between lyric clarity and tightly focused invention. It stands as an important document of late-1970s jazz piano, where individuality, swing and compositional ambition meet.
