English: The photo was taken August 1975, per a Getty Images description of an alternate photo from the same session. The photo was almost certainly published soon after it was taken, probably sometime before the release of Bop-Be—Jarrett's final album for Impulse!—in October 1976. It was certainly published no later than 1979, as ABC/Impulse! was no longer a going concern by that year; furthermore, in an archived sales listing of a copy of the photo at WorthPoint, the seller recounts purchasing the photo from a music magazine at some point in "the late 1970s", meaning it had already been published and in circulation by that time.

English: Scan of original publicity photo.

English: Published by ABC/Impulse! Records. Photographer uncredited and unknown.

Film production expert Eve Light Honathaner in The Complete Film Production Handbook, (Focal Press, 2001 p. 211.):

"Publicity photos (star headshots) have traditionally not been copyrighted. Since they are disseminated to the public, they are generally considered public domain, and therefore clearance by the studio that produced them is not necessary."

"There is a vast body of photographs, including but not limited to publicity stills, that have no notice as to who may have created them." (The Professional Photographer's Legal Handbook By Nancy E. Wolff, Allworth Communications, 2007, p. 55.)

Creative Clearance-Publicity photos

"Publicity Photos (star headshots) older publicity stills have usually not been copyrighted and since they have been disseminated to the public, they are generally considered public domain and therefore there is no necessity to clear them with the studio that produced them (if you can even determine who did)."
