Music reviews of The Out-of-Towners
Music Review: If there was any doubt...
Rating: 5 Stars
...that Keith Jarrett is the greatest living jazz pianist, this album should help to dispel it. And, it's amazing how much more sensitive and natural his playing sounds since his comeback. All of the daring and improvisational brilliance is there, with none of the self-indulgence. At nearly 60, Jarrett just keeps getting better and better!
The opening tune "I Can't Believe You're in Love With Me," is just about the greatest thing I've ever heard. I know that jazz pianists all over the world will be scratching their heads trying to transcribe the opening and closing sections of this one. It's really a high-water mark in jazz pianism.
The second cut "You've Changed" is the perfect ballad. There isn't a single false note in this beauty. While not really a display of virtuosity like the first cut, this is just really tasteful jazz. Again, nobody handles a ballad like Jarrett.
The third cut "I Love You" and the fifth "Five Brothers" are playful romps very familiar to Jarrett fans. The former allows a bit of space for some solo DeJohnette which is pretty gratifying.
The fourth cut "The Out-of-Towners" is a bluesy group improvisation that will also be familiar territory to Jarrett fans, and is my least favorite part of the album (although I do enjoy it).
Finally, "It's All in the Game" is solo Jarrett, just playing the song, and as you'd expect, it's perfect and beautiful.
Taken as a whole, it's amazing just how "on" these guys were for this entire gig. Comparing this with some earlier work (the big Blue Note box set comes to mind), it's obvious that these guys have really matured, like a really fine wine. Everything extraneous has been pared away, and what's left is crystalline and sublime.
If you enjoyed Up For It, get The Out-of-Towners! You won't be disappointed! It just may be the best Standards Trio album yet!
Description of The Out-of-Towners
Japanese limited edition issue of the album classic in a deluxe, miniaturized LP sleeve replica of the original vinyl album artwork.Keith Jarrett's "Standards Trio" with bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Jack DeJohnette has been so good for so long that they might be taken for granted, but this 2001 concert from Munich's State Opera shows their combination of depth and spontaneity can still surprise. Jarrett has a knack for marking his own path through familiar repertoire, from the playfully exuberant "I Can't Believe That You're in Love with Me" that opens the set to his deeply reflective solo version of "It's All in the Game." In between, the group's close-knit interplay enhances a limpidly beautiful version of "You've Changed," an up-tempo harmonic exploration of Cole Porter's "I Love You," and a hard-swinging account of Gerry Mulligan's "Five Brothers." The highlight, though, is the title track, a funky 20-minute tour de force that explores the blues from roots to branches. --Stuart Broomer
