One might listen to the Red Garland Trio at the Blackhawk and drink beer. One might listen to the Oscar Peterson Trio at the Village Vanguard and drink Scotch. One might listen to the Ray Brown or Ahmad Jamal Trios at Zanzibar Blue and drink 20 year-old Port. But if one listens to Keith Jarrett's Standards Trio, it is likely it will be at Wolftrap or Carnegie Hall and you will be drinking champagne. Each song is treated as an aural gem brilliantly accented by Jarrett's Baroque musings. He turns Tin Pan Alley into the Yellowbrick Road with his highly technical and highly personal approach to performing. A better ballads player than a blues player, Jarrett nevertheless stands and delivers on Charlie Parker's "Billie's Bounce." "My Funny Valentine" is treated as a Bach fugue, with its elaborate introduction (a thread that passes through all of the pieces on this disc). This is jazz as sublimity. |
