According to ECM Records, Keith Jarrett will play a solo concert at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark, NJ on November 20, 2009. I don’t know when the tickets will go on sale.
You can see a list of all forthcoming events (mainly concerts and releases) at any time on the Forthcoming events page.
As many news outlets have already reported, British jazz musician and writer Ian Carr died on February 25, 2009. He was the author of Keith Jarrett: The Man and His Music and also collaborated on the 2004 documentary Keith Jarrett: The Art of Improvisation, produced and directed by Mike Dibb. More information can be found on iancarrsnucleus.net.

ECM Records have added two Keith Jarrett Trio concerts to their Musicians on tour page:
Tickets for the Los Angeles concert will go on sale on January 14 and will be available from UCLA Live.
Tickets for the Berkeley concert are apparently already available from Cal Performances.
This is not really news, but I just realized that 34 Keith Jarrett albums (mostly from ECM Records) are officially available from HDtracks in FLAC or AIFF format (i.e. as lossless files). None of these albums are available in the “96 KHz / 24 bit” section of the store, unfortunately, but I’m not aware of any other store selling Keith Jarrett music as DRM-free lossless files.
