Keith Jarrett Trio

Keith Jarrett Trio

简介:The Keith Jarrett Trio, or The Standards Trio, as it later became known, with Gary Peacock on double bass and Jack DeJohnette on drums, is one of the most celebrated and influential jazz trios of all time. The group was formed in 1983 but Jarrett and DeJohnette had been collaborating since the late 1960s when they performed together in Miles Davis' band. The early version of the Jarrett trio featured Charlie Haden on bass, with Peacock coming in at the suggestion of ECM founder, Manfred Eicher. Jarrett, Peacock and DeJohnette were already well-established, top-tier artists, and the trio quickly established itself as one of the time's most innovative and creative jazz groups. Their unique approach to improvisation and musical interplay was widely acclaimed, and they went on to record several critically praised albums. The Standards Trio did not confine its repertoire to interpretations; they typically added one or two original compositions to their recordings. 从艺历程:Life Between the Exit Signs (Vortex, 1968), (Jarrett's first leader recording), Somewhere Before (Vortex, 1969), and The Mourning of a Star (Atlantic Recordings, 1971) all featured an earlier Jarrett trio with Haden and Paul Motian. A late discovery with that lineup, Live At Gran Studio 104 In Paris, June 9th 1972 (Storytime, 2017) went unreleased for twenty-five years despite being an excellent and well-recorded concert. There are two anomalies under the Jarrett trio umbrella. Tales of Another (1977) preceded the Jarrett-led "standards" group. With Peacock billed as the leader, the studio album was the Standard Trio lineup and the genesis of the group that would formalize under Jarrett, six years later. The overall sound is just slightly different as Peacock composed the six pieces and the bass is more prolific. At the Deer Head Inn (1992) was a unique project for two reasons. Paul Motian, who also played with Dewey Redman and Haden, in Jarrett's American quartet, filled in for DeJohnette. The venue, a small club in the Delaware Water Gap, Pennsylvania, was a change from the larger settings Jarrett and the trio had become accustomed to playing. Motian's drumming style was a marked contrast to DeJohnette, creating a sound that was buoyant and flowing. From their inception in 1983 until their final performance in 2014, the trio produced a body of work that has had a profound impact on jazz and on music as a whole. The Zen-like focus that drives Jarrett's creative flow as a solo artist, influences his like-minded colleagues. The trio's approach to playing standards was unique beyond taking improvisation to another level, moving in unexpected directions, and breathing new life into classic tunes. The albums are listed in order of preference rather than chronologically. Except where noted, all albums in this article are ECM-issued.
