The first ‘Standards Trio’ issue for some years, this catches the band on excellent form in Lucerne, spanning a broad range of styles and material. The highlights are two ballad performances that have all the Jarrett hallmarks of exquisite touch, delicate melodic arc, and no boundary between the composer's imagination and the pianist's invention. On ‘Stars Fell on Alabama’ and ‘I Thought About You’ Peacock and DeJohnette simply provide support to Jarrett's remarkable melodic skills. But interestingly, the most stimulating material for the band interacting as three distinct but unified musical voices comes from Leonard Bernstein. West Side Story provides ‘Somewhere’, given a romantic reading before peeling off into a 13 minute vamp that is more like ‘Da Drums’ from Fort Yawuh than anything in Jarrett's recent catalogue. And from the same show comes ‘Tonight’, transformed into a Bud Powell-style uptempo burner, with Jarrett displaying immaculate bebop chops and creating space for exciting solos from both the other band members. The weakest track on the album is a version of ‘Solar’ that lacks focus, whereas the most surprising is an interpretation of ‘Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea’ that miraculously coalesces from chaos into some of the tightest playing on the record. Very much a trio back in form, and with luck more of its recent output will now find its way to disc.
