Amazon.co.uk Review
Keith Jarrett's "Standards Trio" with bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Jack DeJohnette has been so good for so long that they might be taken for granted, but this 2001 concert from Munich's State Opera shows their combination of depth and spontaneity can still surprise. Jarrett has a knack for marking his own path through familiar repertoire, from the playfully exuberant "I Can't Believe That You're in Love with Me" that opens the set to his deeply reflective solo version of "It's All in the Game." In between, the group's close-knit interplay enhances a limpidly beautiful version of "You've Changed," an up-tempo harmonic exploration of Cole Porter's "I Love You," and a hard-swinging account of Gerry Mulligan's "Five Brothers." The highlight, though, is the title track, a funky 20-minute tour de force that explores the blues from roots to branches. --Stuart Broomer

This album is one of the best recordings by the trio.
There are the usual cover versions present but the true highlight is the 20 minute title track. It starts off as a meandering blues and twists and turns before becoming utterly rhythmical and rather funky as a whole.
Jarrett, Peacock and De Johnette seem to be in their element when improvising in such fashion. I have listened to this track time after time and never get bored with it. Of the remaining tracks, " I Love You" is outstanding with one of Jack De Johnette's best drum solos.Genius.
Thoroughly recommended.
Jarrett in supreme form again February 27, 2007

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.

This is a group I had not listened to for a long time, prefering to explore the younger generation of players such as Brad Mehldau and Jason Moran as well as delving back into the catalogue of past-masters such as Andrew Hill and Herbie Nichols. They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder and this album cooks like nothing I have heard since Dave Holland's live double CD last year.
As usual, Jarrett's trio explores the Broadway song canon, ably assisted by the great Gary Peacock on bass and Jack Dejohnette at the top of his game behind his drum kit. There is a mixture of ballads and up-tempo numbers including a frisky version of Gerry Mulligan's "Five Brothers." However, it is the bluesy title track that really grabs the attention, the trio locking on to a fantastic groove with sparks flying between the pianist and drummer - quite simply the most exciting 20-odd minutes of jazz I have heard on a CD this year. My foot nearly fell off through excessive tapping on this track. Fantastic !!

Whilst it is true to say that the ECM label, having hit upon a winning formula, have filled their catalogue with piano trios that stylistically owe much to Keith Jarrett's group, this disc proves that there is still nothing that can match the original when they are on song. Brad Mahldau may be winning all the kudos at the moment from the critics, but this disc demonstrates Jarrett playing at the top of his game and is good as anything his trio have recorded. In fact, so good is this record as a whole, that no one track stands out and it has hardly left my CD player since I bought it.
The programme is a mix of Broadway standards, including a poignant "You've changed" plus the fleet Be-bop of Gerry Mulligan's "Five Brothers" and the funky , original title track. Cole Porter's "I love you" features an unusual drum solo by Jack Dejohnette who motors along as the bass and piano drop out, only for Jarrett to return a few minutes later to the theme that he gentles parks to a perfect halt. The whole set is rounded off by a piano solo of the ballad "It's all in the game", a model of the pianist's art at it's most graceful. As ever, Jarrett's immaculate touch is excellently captured by ECM's engineer.
Although these days I tend to listen to more "spiky " pianists such as Andrew Hill, Herbie Nichols and Jason Moran, this record is a pure delight. Indeed, having not really listened to anything by Jarrett's trio for the atleast ten years, it is good to return to this outfit and to find all three musicians playing at such of peak. No longer the "enfant terrible" of piano, this is classic , mainstream jazz. One of the best jazz albums of 2004. Highly recommended.
