Peter Bannister (1966 -) Gnossienne for Jack DeJohnette (1942-2025)

The present piece is a tribute to one of modern jazz’s most seminal figures, the drummer, composer and pianist Jack DeJohnette, who died on October 26, 2025 at the age of 83. A complete musician capable not only of breathtaking virtuosity but also of creating a seemingly endless range of atmospheric textures and playing with the most diverse performers, I above all associate him with the legendary "Standards" Trio of Keith Jarrett alongside bassist Gary Peacock, in which he played for over 25 years. The title Gnossienne refers to the early piano music of Erik Satie (1866-1925) in this year of the 100th anniversary of his death, drawing its melodic material from Gnossiennes 1, 2, 3 and 5. Curiously, it was only after finishing the piece that I discovered that Jack DeJohnette had himself written an Ode to Satie for his piano album Return (2016).
