Personal Mountains is a live album by American jazz pianist Keith Jarrett recorded in Tokyo during his April 1979 tour in Japan, and released by ECM ten years later, in 1989. The quartet—Jarrett's "European Quartet"—features saxophonist Jan Garbarek and rhythm section Palle Danielsson and Jon Christensen.
Personal Mountains contains tracks from different concerts performed in Tokyo during Jarrett's tour with his "European Quartet" in April 1979. The tour also produced Sleeper (1989).[2]
The AllMusic review by Richard S. Ginell awarded the album 4 stars, stating, "Clearly this is one of the peaks of the European quartet's discography."[3]
