Mysteries is an album by jazz pianist Keith Jarrett recorded in two sessions in December 1975. Originally released by Impulse! in 1976,[1] it features performances by Jarrett's 'American Quartet' of saxophonist Dewey Redman, bassist Charlie Haden and drummer Paul Motian, along with percussionist Guilherme Franco. These December, 1975 sessions also produced the album Shades.

The album was included in the 1996 four disc Mysteries: The Impulse Years 1975-1976, a box-set which also included Shades and Jarrett's two final albums for Impulse!, Byablue and Bop-Be.[4]

In October 2011 Shades was reissued with Mysteries in a single disc format titled Mysteries / Shades, as part of the Impulse! 2-on-1 series.[5]
