Keith Jarrett Trio – Keith Jarrett/France – 1996 – 2 Broadcast Edition

This live recording captures the Standards Trio at their most mature and free. Their 1996 performance in Antibes, Southern France, felt like a conversation between Jarrett, Gary Peacock, and Jack DeJohnette, almost as if they were breathing the same air. While using standards as their subject matter, the flow of theme → improvisation → deconstruction → reconstruction is uniquely this trio. Jarrett’s touch is both delicate and bold, Peacock’s bass sings like a melodic instrument, and DeJohnette’s drums perfectly control the momentum and timing. The tension, especially in the medium-tempo and ballad sections, is imbued with a live magic that cannot be found in studio recordings. A quiet yet deeply moving live album for connoisseurs.
