Keith Jarrett in 1975
Over the years, Keith Jarrett has recorded in many different settings: jazz piano trio, classical and baroque music, improvised contemporary music, solo piano, etc. Well known for his tremendous impact on the piano and jazz scene, as a composer, multi-instrumentalist, and first class improviser, Keith Jarrett's original output embraces many different musical styles (some of them did not exist before him) and spans a period of almost 50 years, comprising a generous production of more than 100 albums.
As leader/co-leader
In chronological order as they were recorded, this general list contains Jarrett's albums (CD, LP, cassette) as a leader or co-leader excluding those related to the so-called "classical music" field where he plays Bach, Pärt, Mozart, Shostakovich, etc.

First trio + American Quartet (1967–1976)
Keith Jarrett's recording career as a leader began in 1967 with the company of Charlie Haden on double-bass and Paul Motian on drums. With the addition of Dewey Redman on tenor saxophone in 1971 (Atlantic sessions), the trio metamorphosed into a quartet which, according to different sources, didn't start working steadily until 1973.[1][2] Much later, due to the emergence of a "European" (or Scandinavian) counterpart in 1974, Jarrett's American group was called the "American Quartet".
The band's life lasted until October 1976. A few typically reliable sources, including Ian Carr's biography and Michael Cuscuna liner notes in Silence (GRP 11172, compilation album)[3] set its last recording sessions (Byablue, Bop-Be) either in 1975 or (September) 1977, which according to Neil Tesser and the detailed credits found in Mysteries: The Impulse Years 1975-1976 is not quite accurate. The full story of the American Quartet's last sessions can be found here.

Solo piano (1971–2016)
All albums released by ECM[4] (sometimes many years after they were performed / recorded).
In 2008, in an interview with Ted Panken, Keith Jarrett would give arguments to his tendency to record live albums:
Q: Why don’t you do studio recordings, by the way?
Jarrett: Well (a) I hate studios, and (b) more of the time I feel that what I do is for a public that’s actually in the space. Manfred and I talked about me doing another solo thing in the studio, and I’m open to it, but in general, that vibe is wrong for me. There’s too many wires around. Too many lightstands, too much metal around. The control room and the speakers are usually worse than the ones I have in my house. I don’t know if I could engage that.[5]
