Keith Jarrett/Gary Peacock/Jack DeJohnette
Inside Out ★★★★★ ECM 1780
After 18 years together and 13 recordings, several of them multiple-disc sets, it might seem difficult to pinpoint a career highlight, but for Keith Jarrett’s Standards Trio, this could be it. Recorded at London’s Royal Festival Hall over two nights in July 2000, Inside Out captures the trio departing from its regular format to improvise freely without the framework of the American popular songbook or bop standards for all but seven minutes. The result is spell-inducing, covering the gamut from minimalist elegance of “When I Fall In Love” to the blazing clatter of “Riot.”
Harkening back to the years when he walked the improvisational tightrope alone, Jarrett relies heavily on short rhythmic and melodic motifs as building blocks, and his partners respond in kind. The opening “From The Body” is a perfect model of how the trio shapes a dynamic 23 minutes of music from the smallest gestures. Jarrett begins by toying with a probing melodic fragment, like a boxer moving in and out, feigning and jabbing. As Peacock and DeJohnette listen and respond, Jarrett mixes things up even more, his attack at turns urgent and languorous. The drummer and bassist step in for brief solos, then Jarrett returns in a much more retrospective mood. But Peacock has an alternate plan. Slowly, he insinuates a hypnotic, tautly plucked riff, enticing Jarrett to respond as DeJohnette shifts to mallets for a dark-hued backdrop. After about four minutes of this, Peacock assumes control reintroducing his initial riff to Jarrett’s audible pleasure. This is masterful give and take, and it happens time and again.
The only exception is “Riot,” a seven-minute slice of a 30-minute improvisation, which opens intensely and never lets up. DeJohnette sizzles and snaps, reminiscent of the insistent percussion that dominated Miles Davis’ raucous On The Corner.
As Jarrett points out in his liner notes, the blues is the lingua franca of these improvisations, nowhere more so than on the title track, which sounds like one of the pianist’s early ’70s solo excursions with rhythmic accompaniment.
If last year’s bop-drenched live set Whisper Not signaled that Jarrett was back at full force, Inside Out gives notice that the band has stepped it up another notch. At this point in its existence, the name the Standards Trio has ceased to signify the band’s repertoire; rather, it stands for the level they set for other improvisers.

1-8: Keith Jarrett - Yesterdays (ECM (G) 2060)
Review by Thom Jurek [-]
Yesterdays is the third title ECM has released by Keith Jarrett, Gary Peacock, and Jack DeJohnette (dubbed "the standards trio"). The first two -- The Out-of-Towners released in 2004 and My Foolish Heart issued in 2007 -- were actually recorded later than this live date recorded in Tokyo in April of 2001. This also marks a first in the pianist's career: the George Gershwin tune "You Took Advantage of Me" appeared on My Foolish Heart in a very different arrangement, making this the first time Jarrett has ever employed a single track on two consecutive albums. On My Foolish Heart Jarrett used a full-on ragtime intro to the tune. Here, he employs a denser harmonic construction based on its changes and melodic frame. When the band enters, the pop and swing in the tune become pronounced, standing in the same universe as ragtime (which is more than likely the reason Jarrett employed it before) but also much more sophisticated and harmonically complex. Other standouts on this fine set include the bop burners "Scrapple from the Apple" and "Shaw'nuff," the glorious ballads "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" and "You've Changed," and a deeply moving rendition of "Stella by Starlight." What is most remarkable about this band is its sense of balance between eloquence, interplay, improvisational communication, and swing. This group is not only a solid link to the tradition Jarrett, Peacock, and DeJohnette all came up with, but it is a solid teaching pointer as to how to employ standards for the music in the future.
