Amazon.co.uk Review
Jarrett is still remembered as the avant garde young lion of the 1960s and 1970s, but his affair with the music of his parents' generation has taken up nearly half his career, and there is no indication that its charms are fading. There are ballads in this 1999 standards concert, such as the title track and "Chelsea Bridge", but the main focus is on the nimblest bebop (manifest in "Bouncing With Bud", "Groovin' High", "Sandu", "Conception" and others) with "Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams" adding the levity of a little stride piano. Jarrett's imagination is as effervescent as ever, despite the fact that he had only recently recovered from a three-year bout with ME. His performance on "Groovin' High" is particularly full, the profusion of ideas typically breathtaking. For those new to Jarrett's standards trio, the set makes a solid introduction; veteran followers will be pleased to find their favourite's powers unimpaired by his illness. --Mark Gilbert

Joyful October 17, 2006
Why do ECM keep releasing Standards Trio albums? I can't afford to buy them all, its just not fair.
This is another absolutely blinding (double) CD. The track that caught my attention immediately was "What is thing called love". I don't how many versions of this tune I have by Jazz musicians but it must be dozens. Well heres another way of playing the song. A great solo Piano intro and then Keith just flys into the tune with stream of brilliant inventions.
The rest of the album maintains an equally high standard. A swinging version of "Bouncing with Bud" and a beautiful version of "Chelsea Bridge" are highlights from disc 1. Having said that I love the version of "Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams" on disc 1 where Keith harks back to pre-bop era with a version that in its solo Piano intro is almost stride and continues that feel even if there isn't the ooom-pah left-hand all the time.
The total playing time is 1 hour 53 mins over the 2 discs. I've never heard a bad 'Standards Trio' album, but this is one of the very best.
First rate music. January 28, 2001

This is a magnificent comeback after Keith's illness. The trio work is superb by turns swinging and lyrical. The quiet tracks such as When I fall in love are a joy. A must have record.
Jarrett comes up trumps with a sublime performance December 20, 2000

I have followed Keith Jarrett's career since his solo piano recordings of the late 70s and early 80s. This live trio recording in Paris presents a different, more lively rendition of some bebop classics as well as the usual ballads, including a sublime version of the classic 'Round Midnight'. Unlike many live jazz performances the band play as a band, and the recording is once again notable for DeJonnette's astonishing drumming. The recording is superb and some of Jarrett's runs lead the listener to another place in time and space! Much recommended for those dark winter evenings with friends.
Jack de Johnette's role December 4, 2000

A track from this CD was played on Radio 3's regular programme, 'Jazz Record Requests' on 2 December. Jack de Johnette's drumming is the glue that holds the trio's playing together. He and Jarrett might well have secured a place in jazz history as the 21st century successors to Monk and Blakey's work of 40 years ago. Anyone who was fortunate enought to have seen the trio at the Royal Festival Hall in London last year will want this CD as a lasting memory as to how well they were playing in 1999.I'm off to order my copy before everyone else cleans out the available stocks.
yet another fantastic cd.... October 10, 2000
There are very few words I can say.. because words can't really describe music. One could wonder: why has Keith Jarrett so many CD out? Jazz is live and improvised music, every concert, every performance is a unique event .. Keith Jarrett is a skillfull, experienced and gifted piano player. Improvised music played by one of the best living piano player. No wonder you want to record every performance of a living miracle and also publish them. "Whisper not" has the usual simple cover, the list of the 14 tracks, the more or less usual bunch of standards. Yet another must-have CD from Keith Jarrett. Enjoy..
