Details: Amazon.ca While Keith Jarrett has ranged from extended solo improvisation to classical repertoire in his career, there's a special level of discipline in his trio playing with Gary Peacock and drummer Jack DeJohnette, heard here in a 1983 recording that marked the beginning of this particular collaboration. All veterans of the Miles Davis group, they bring strong personalities to traditional jazz repertoire and the piano-trio form. It's the taut discipline of the standard repertoire and the level of group interaction that keeps this music interesting, with Jarrett digging deeply into the melodies and changes of the songs for strong ballad playing on "It Never Entered My Mind" and rapid-fire bop on "All the Things You Are." "God Bless the Child" is a 15-minute odyssey, a bluesy and spirited examination of a classic jazz song highlighted by Peacock's brilliant bass work. --Stuart Broomer
