"I fell in love with Koln a year ago. Then found myself listening to this CD in the store. I lost complete touch with reality -- and ended up listening to the entire CD three times before buying it and returning home to listen three more times. The improvisation is startling, the mood is deeply romantic, blue, and energetic simultaneously, and the precision is astonishing. I immediately got on Amazon and ordered one for every member of my family! Put it along side Koln in your collection -- and alternate -- to get a very different Jarrett, but a very similar resultant emotional reaction."
A fabulous trio at the height of its powers

"I'm sitting here at the computer listening to this wonderful performance by Jarrett's Standards Trio. If you haven't had the good fortune to be exposed to their music, this is a great place to start. "Never Let Me Go" is a gorgeous ballad and "I'll Remember April" is another standout. This is improvisation at its best."
Wonderful!!

"This is the first Keith Jarrett's CD I have listened to, and it is simply great! He seem to posses a complete freedom in utilizing any melodical tools and approaches he chooses. And he does it wonderfully. Although Gary Peacock and Jack DeJohnette are modestly reffered to as "Trio", they are truly remarkable musicians in their own right. Their solos are a delight to listen to. Outstanding music!"
