CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Those who believe that telepathy does not exist should check out this record. This trio--consisting of pianist Keith Jarrett, drummer Jack DeJohnette, and bassist Gary Peacock--has been perfecting the science of syncopated thought for two decades. Recorded in the South of France, it has all of the elements of the group's celebrated studio recordings. Jarrett's elegiac and encyclopedic pianisms, Peacock's intelligent basslines, and DeJohnette's intricate and inspired drumwork turn time-worn standard's such as "If I Were a Bell" and "Someday My Prince Will Come" into intense and intimate sound portraits. Bill Evans' famous trio with Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian may have set the mold, but Jarrett, Peacock, and DeJohnette have broke it in their own sweet, swinging, and soulful way. --Eugene Holley, Jr. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsUnexpectedly Bored and Disappointed Kenneth Seidman | Victoria, BC | 04/21/2005 (2 out of 5 stars) "In reading over the couple of reviews that felt there was "something missing" and the longer, more detailed one that bemoaned the lack of a former novel and caring approach to the uniqueness of each song that the trio has displayed for so long, I had my own disappointment validated. I cannot say that I've sat down and done a "studied" listen to "Up For It" but I usually find myself grabbed by Jarrett's interpretation of a melody even before the improvisation begins and to my surprise (especially in light of Jarrett's stated pride and surprise in this work) I too felt these renditions to be lackluster in arrangement and execution. I also miss the introductions and the pacing of the improvisations - Jarrett just seems to toss off the head and dive into the improvised choruses which have little variety or range (maybe "My Funny Valentine" is an exception but it hardly compares with his earlier versions). I would not however agree that the trio has gone downhill since Tokyo '96 (though the magic was not as strong to me there as well)- my attention was seized and I was delighted when I heard some of the tracks on the radio from "The Out of Towners"- particularly the bop tunes that often leave me wanting on the better recordings. "Up for It" left me wondering why I was suddenly bored by the trio...Interesting that others see it as a kind of pinnacle achievement..."
