Jack DeJohnette (born August 9, 1942) is an American jazz drummer, pianist, and composer. An important figure of the fusion era of jazz, DeJohnette is one of the most influential jazz drummers of the 20th century, given his extensive work as leader and sideman for musicians including Charles Lloyd, Freddie Hubbard, Keith Jarrett, Bill Evans, John Abercrombie, Alice Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, Miles Davis, Joe Henderson, Michael Brecker, Herbie Hancock and John Scofield. He was inducted into the Modern Drummer Hall of Fame in 2007.

DeJohnette played R&B, hard bop, and avant-garde music in Chicago, and moved to New York City in 1966, where he became a member of the Charles Lloyd Quartet, a band that recognized the potential influence of rock and roll on jazz. Lloyd's group was where DeJohnette first encountered pianist Keith Jarrett, who would work extensively with him throughout his career. DeJohnette joined Bill Evans' trio in 1968, the same year the group headlined the Montreux Jazz Festival and produced the album Bill Evans at the Montreux Jazz Festival. In November 1968 he worked briefly with Stan Getz and his quartet, which led to his first recordings with Miles Davis.

In 1969, DeJohnette left the Evans trio and replaced Tony Williams in Miles Davis's live band. DeJohnette played on the compilation album Directions, and was the primary drummer on Bitches Brew. The recording of Bitches Brew was a stream of creative musical energy. One thing was flowing into the next, and we were stopping and starting all the time." While he was not the only drummer involved in the project, he played on the live albums that would follow the release of Bitches Brew, taken from concerts at the Fillmore East in New York and Fillmore West in San Francisco. These ventures were undertaken at the behest of Clive Davis, then president of Columbia Records. DeJohnette continued to work with Davis for the next three years, which led to collaborations with other Davis band members John McLaughlin, Chick Corea, and Holland; he also drew Keith Jarrett into the band. He contributed to such Davis albums as Live-Evil (1971), Jack Johnson (1971), and On the Corner (1972).[15] He left the Davis group in the middle of 1971, although he returned for several concerts through the rest of that year.

DeJohnette in the early 1970s recorded Cosmic Chicken, and then switched to ECM for his next endeavors; ECM gave him a "fertile platform" for his "atmospheric drumming and challenging compositions." The musical freedom he had while recording for ECM offered DeJohnette many dates as a sideman and opportunities to start his own groups that included guitarist John Abercrombie, Alex Foster, Mike Richmond, Lester Bowie on trumpet and Eddie Gómez on bass.
