Customer Reviews:

Jarrett in supreme form again.......2007-03-04

Another fabulous album from the standards trio. The recordings were made in 2001 and clearly Jarrett is fully recovered from his illness of the late 90's as the inspiration level remains incredibly high throughout.

The 'standards' here are all very good, but the main reason to buy this recording is the great title track. This runs to nearly 20 minutes and runs through a number of styles, the dominant one being a long bluesy improvisation 6 minutes into the track.

Its difficult to rank this in the huge number of albums that the standards trio have produced over the years, but if you can only buy one, then this is as good as anything.

Read other reviews for expert analysis. Keep reading this review if you love jazz but you don't know why. This CD is a spritely romp with sugar on top! I love the way the trio works together effortlessly~~not all teamwork occurs on courts or fields! Trust me, this CD is like a reassuring conversation with a friend you wish would visit more often!

Excellent!.......2005-08-12

While much of the same can be said about this timeless trio's previous outings, the set is not only perfectly balanced in the choice of material but Jarrett's sometimes overly-audible vocalizing is absent as well. Although, those who complain the loudest about Keith's tendencies in that direction remind me of those tightly wired types who drive their spouses or partners crazy by screaming hysterically in the middle of the night, "I hear a faucet dripping!" They seem to intentionally listen for the slightest suggestion of Jarrett's vocal exuberance. Perhaps the sound of cactus growing in the middle of the Mojave Desert would drive them to distraction.

For me, it's all about the music and I enjoy listening for the Bud Powell flavored phrasing I hear on some of the tunes rather than wasting time obsessing over minor vocalisms. The selections range from songs penned by Cole Porter and Jimmy McHugh to Gerry Mulligan and one Jarrett original. The concert closes with the Tommy Edwards `50s pop hit "It's All In The Game." Trivia: the lyrics, "Many a tear has to fall...," were written by Charles Dawes, U.S. Vice-President under President Calvin Coolidge (1925-29). While Keith performs the ballad without excessive sentimentality, it still may strike some deep chords of remembered romances in some listeners.

Jarrett leaves ample room for Peacock and DeJohnette to shine, and the group plays energetically and elegantly throughout without ever degenerating into stereotypic "smooth jazz." This is one of those rare performances that is strong enough to warrant your complete attention in the foreground or can be equally enjoyable at low volume in the background. Highly recommended.

The Out of Towners.......2005-08-09

This Live CD is excellent. Like another Jarret CD- UP for It, I play it over and over and over. The openning song "I Can't Believe That You're in Love with Me" to "It's All in the Game." and "You've Changed," ,"I Love You," , "Five Brothers." are all wonderful. You can't go wrong with this one.

Jarrett's "singing" is part of the performance.......2005-07-12

It would be truly tragic to ignore Keith Jarrett's genius because of his vocalizations. Two of the world's greatest pianists, Glenn Gould & Oscar Peterson, often 'sing along' with what they are playing (most impressive w/ Oscar, since he is singing his own improvisations as he plays them). But Jarrett actually does something a little different. He often punctuates his solos with grunts, groans, and other expressions of emotion. Anyone who has SEEN him play, knows that these come straight from the heart, and are part of the performance. Perhaps some won't understand, because they do not FEEL the music with the same passion Keith Jarrett does. And btw, if you listen to the PIANO, it's easy to hear that Jarrett is miles beyond Herbie Hancock as a musician. (No knock on Herbie, but he's just not in the same class.)
