Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0602517373266 Format: Live Label: Ecm Records Manufacturer: Ecm Records MPN: 000988702 Number Of Discs: 2 Publisher: Ecm Records Release Date: October 16, 2007 Studio: Ecm Records Editorial Review: Album Description: The 25th Anniversary Jazz's greatest piano trio. This is the best way to describe the 25-year partnership between Keith Jarrett, Gary Peacock and Jack DeJohnette. They are an institution of jazz and My Foolish Heart is their 18th recording, all on ECM. The double album was recorded live at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 2001 and is an exhilarating and playful performance which romps through the history of jazz as the trio plays pieces by Fats Waller, Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, Gerry Mulligan and more, as well as a scattering of show tunes and standards from the Great American Songbook. This album is - in terms of the musical range addressed - one of the most comprehensive in the discography of Jarrett, Peacock and DeJohnette. This fall, ECM is also releasing a speciallypriced 3-CD box set of the first recording session that the Keith Jarrett, Gary Peacock and Jack DeJohnette ever made together. Setting Standards is a combined reissue of Standards Vol. I, Standards Vol. II and Changes, the three albums recorded in one session at New York's Power Station in 1983. The albums have been remastered in 24bit/192kHz and the box set will include new liner notes and archival photos. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - IMPRESSIVE AND VIVID AS ALWAYSEvery live recording from this trio is a celebration and a must have .Not so strong like STILL LIVE but also an excellent and skillful live performance which deserves respect and serious listening attention .FIVE STARS FOR SURE . Rating: - Look ma--both hands!Much of the fuss about this album seems to concern Jarrett's revisiting of stride style on three numbers. Jarrett has never had a reputation as an underachiever, and no doubt he wishes to prove a point--not about stride piano (which as played by James P. Johnson, Fats Waller, Earl Hines, Art Tatum and Oscar Peterson is the most technically challenging idiom for jazz piano improvisation), but about his own eligibility to be considered on the same level as a select group of players. In the hands ... Read More Rating: - KJ meets jazz roots, classic jazz trio music resultsThis stuff must really come easy for Keith. The pianist known for his improvisations and thematic interludes of solo piano virtuosity in the jazz mode hooks up again with two of the most solid jazz musicians in the business today, and some wonderful takes on classic jazz tunes are digitized for the enjoyment of present and future jazz enthusiasts for years to come. Jarrett fans probably can't live without this recording, as it features some really wonderful playing and the usual complex and exciting ... Read More Rating: - Pure Jarrett in every wayThe music is unsurprisingly glorious, as most of what this trio has played over the past 25 or so years. For Jarrett critics, probably the best quote in the history of Jarrett's self-indulgence, from the liner notes "I want to thank Gary and Jack for sharing the struggle for artistic survival in a world of fakery, thoughtlessness, mimicry, diffidence, apathy, unconsciousness, laziness, empty virtuosity, ignorance and self-deceit." Amen. Rating: - Jarrett does it allWell thats another Standards Trio album I've had to buy. I've already got at least a dozen CD's of this Trio, including the monumental Live at the Blue Note boxed set. Why did I have to buy this? Because Jarrett plays three stride style pieces on this double album. He's hinted at this style before with the standards trio on 'Wrap your Troubles in Dreams' (from Whisper Not) and completely pulverised the style on 'Old Rag' (from Somewhere Before). Not surprisingly his performances of the stride ... Read More |
