Free Music Notes for Standards, Vol. 2

Free Music Review: Superb
Hit: 5 Stars

This is the first Jarrett album I purchased, and I have never looked back.
A beautiful Trio album recorded in January 1983 featuring what would become Jarrett's longest existing group (still recording to this day). Gary Peacock is on Bass and Jack DeJohnette is on drums. In fact the biggest problem with this group is that they have recorded so much over the years, its difficult to know what to buy.

The album album starts with a lovely Jarrett original 'So Tender' which I suspect is based on the chord sequence of a standard, so it just about counts. The remaining tracks are all standards and the playing is of an incredibly high standard (excuse pun). This album isn't about fantastic technique (although occasionally it happens), its about the interplay between the musicians. The seems especially true of Peacock and Jarrett who to seem to have a telepathic understanding of what the other person is going to play, even at this early stage of the groups existence.

This is well worth getting.

Standards, Vol. 2 Poster

The Standards title here doesn't just refer to the familiar repertoire of classic American songs, since the opening "So Tender" is a Keith Jarrett original. The title is also an allusion to high standards, the level to which this group consistently plays on this 1983 continuation of Standards, Volume 1. Jarrett and Jack DeJohnette had first come to prominence together as members of Charles Lloyd's quartet in the '60s, and there's a special empathy between them, Jarrett's rhapsodic inventions fueled by DeJohnette's loose yet sparkling playing. Gary Peacock, a veteran of piano trios with Jarrett's principal influences Bill Evans and Paul Bley, is an ideal bassist for this format, anchoring the music with his rich, woody sound while generating detailed countermelody with horn-like fluency. Alec Wilder's "Moon and Sand," more art song than standard, generates emotionally compelling and harmonically adventurous work. --Stuart Broomer
