  Review | Keith Jarrett and Brad Mehldau
Their use of the standard songbook for their performances and recordings has been as a jumping-off point, an opportunity to examine the music afresh and enter fully into it, subverting it with both a technical prowess and a singularity of purposes born of their individual skills and their long association.
In full flight, the Trio plays almost as a single instrument, finding a psychic awareness of one another in which all ideas of hierarchy and leadership vanish in the face of a collective experience of this particular moment, this particular note, this particular phrase.
While they're not at the level of Keith Jarrett's Standards Trio yet, there is a collective spontaneity to the playing on Progression, the intuitive interplay that only comes with musicians who have spent years working with one another.

 EETimes.com - Asserting trio of standards   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
A property is a statement about a characteristic of a design, such as, "an acknowledge always follows a request within two cycles." An assertion allows that property to be directly tested in simulation or formal verification, as opposed to hoping you'll hit it with a random testbench.
Standardizing assertions is important because, as I said in an earlier column, we now have a "Tower of Babel" situation, in which multiple vendors are pushing their own assertion formats and languages.
The eventual standard will allow engineers to describe complex temporal properties, and it will most likely be used by systems engineers, not RTL designers.

 Evolution
While the original intention of the Standards was to directly influence the classroom practice of teachers, the Standards came to have more indirect and far-reaching effects.
The Standards 2000 writers faced the challenge of building on and clarifying existing documents while at the same time responding to what the field had learned in ten years.
A key question with regard to standards is whether the point is to provide resources for teacher reflection, discussion, and learning; or to provide paradigm examples of the “right way” to teach a particular mathematics lesson.

 Keith Jarrett - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
In contrast to previous concerts (which were generally a pair of 30-40 minute continuous improvisations), the 2002 concerts consist of a linked series of shorter improvisations (as short as a minute and a half, none over a quarter of an hour).
The Standards Trio undertakes frequent world tours of recital halls (the only venues in which Jarrett, a notorious stickler for acoustic sound, will play) and is one of the few truly lucrative "straight" (as opposed to smooth) jazz acts in the world.
A related recording, At the Deer Head Inn (1992), is a live album of standards recorded with Paul Motian replacing DeJohnette, at the venue in Jarrett's hometown where he had his first employment as a jazz pianist.

 Falling Grace - Liner Notes
While a jazz pianist may work in many different settings, the trio of piano/bass/drums is perhaps the most familiar to the audience as well as to the pianist.
The image of a piano trio playing standards is one of the first things that comes to mind when many people think of "jazz", and when people come to see me play in clubs, chances are good that this is what they will hear.
I suppose my particular selection of "standards" is a bit quirky; it may not be in my nature to conform too much to expectations.

 Standard Deviation
In jazz parlance, a "standard" is a song in the collective repertoire, rendered familiar by years of interpretation.
The answer was yes and no — yes because the Standards Trio has continued to serve as Jarrett’s primary outlet, and no because the trio’s exploratory methods transcend any repertory agenda (placing it worlds apart from, say, Wynton Marsalis’ Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra).
The experience of playing without structure also revives an aspect of the pianist’s solo performances: the interplay of pure improvisation with what he calls "spontaneous composition." Jarrett has long maintained that one of his unrecognized strengths as a musician is programming — deciding how to steer the course of a performance.

 Keith Jarrett, Gary Peacock, Jack DeJohnette to Perform at UC... 3/2/2005
In a concert celebrating one of the premier trios in jazz history, UCLA Live presents the acclaimed piano master Keith Jarrett with longtime collaborators bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Jack DeJohnette in an evening furthering their extraordinary artistic partnership.
They came together as a permanent trio in 1983, when Jarrett invited the other two to join him in New York for a recording session dedicated to playing "standards," the rich body of American popular songs from the 1930s, '40s and '50s.
By the late 1960s, Jarrett was leading his own trio with bassist Charlie Haden and drummer Paul Motian (soon to be a quartet with saxophonist Dewey Redman) and recording as a leader for Atlantic, Columbia and Impulse Records.

 Keith Jarrett: Whisper Not - PopMatters Music Review
Musical standards and the trio provide obvious sanctuary for this musician.
The trio, Jarrett in particular, plays with the melody like a kid with a puzzle, trying every possible combination as it works its way through the song.
Jarrett need not prove anything at this stage of his career, but if such a goal was at the back of his mind, a desire to show that he was back on top of his game, mission accomplished.

Standards they may be playin', but never do the performance fall prey to predictability.
The trio formed up in 1983, named appropriately for their focus on reinterpreting the standards (excepting work such as that heard on Inside Out, for which the group turned to free improvisation).
Many critics and fans have since praised the near telepathic performances the Trio seems to turn in.

 Keith Jarrett Trio :Always Let Me Go   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The group came to be known as the “Standards Trio” because they performed mostly jazz standards, though the pieces often became jumping-off points for the group’s explorations.
Still, a sense had developed in some quarters that the group was not expanding its vocabulary and that the constant exploration of standards at the expense of new material was somewhat limiting.
That sense, along with the “Standards Trio” moniker, when out the window last year with the release of the incredible Inside Out, on which the group returned to free improvisation.

I am very familiar with the standards trio, and I only need 2 more titles to have all of their releases (Norway and Standards Live).
The only stuff I listen to is his standards material and the famous "Koln Concert," which reminds me of George Winston.
That said, among his standards discs, I like the live set recorded at the Deer Head Inn and the "Bye, Bye Blackbird" disc that was a tribute to Keith's former boss, Miles Dewey Davis.

 Jazzmatazz Review - Keith Jarrett - Inside Out
's Standards Trio has released a third album of free improvisations (rather then their usual fare of standards.) (The others were Changes (1983) and Changeless (1987)).
He also became more interested in exploring the bebop repertoire of his youth, which he did marvelously on the trio's previous release, Whisper Not.
His solo performances were always free improvisations, but even with his "standards trio" his free improvising never really went away—it was hidden in the structure of his standards playing, which often featured long introductions or extended middle passages that were improvised.

 KeepMedia | JazzTimes: Inside Out
In the liner notes for this wholly absorbing release, pianist Keith Jarrett makes the point that his now famous standards trio, with bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Jack DeJohnette, is less about the standards themselves, and more about where the group can take them.
Even at their first session in January 1983, which produced Standards: Volume One and Volume Two, they revealed a parallel universe by recording the Changes album that, all taken together, can now be seen as a manifesto of the group's intentions.
Certainly, as the trio evolved, its ability to move out of the standard song form and back again created a powerful duality between the competing elements of freedom and form, such as on 1994's At the......

The tunes, standards, of course, are given their new life, just as one expects from Keith Jarrett, Gary Peacock and Jack DeJohnette.
The three gentlemen and incredible players are giving themselves totally to the music, swinging, in and out of the form, in a waving manner of conversation, elegant, fluent, strainless, simply beautiful.

 Keith Jarrett Standards Trio in Ann Arbor   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The trio of Jarrett, Peacock, and DeJohnette has become almost iconic in its ability to breath new life into old chestnuts and now that Jarrett’s schedule has become leaner due to his bout with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, it seems that every note the trio plays takes on a grander significance.
One of only five shows scheduled for this fall, the Ann Arbor performance of the Keith Jarrett Standards Trio was a propitious and historic occasion.
The dynamics between loud and soft passages were utilized to great effect here, with the trio managing to shift from a whisper to a loud roar simultaneously and flawlessly.

 The Out-Of-Towners : Jarrett / Peacock / DeJohnette : CD Reviews : One Final Note
While Bill Evans set the paradigm for the modern jazz piano trio, Keith Jarrett's Standards Trio with bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Jack DeJohnette has taken Evans' innovations and forged a new model with few peers.
Perhaps the preeminent modern trio, their allure is due to their a couple of factors, including their superb musicianship, mutual trust, stunning improvisational proficiency, and perhaps most essential, their love for melodies and the nuances inherent within the song structures.
Forging a quiet revolution, not based on a radical recasting of standards, say, like the Dutch or other madcaps, this trio expounds a seamless, unison flow of melodic development and improvisation that, frankly, is a joy to relish.

Keith Jarrett, Gary Peacock and Jack DeJohnette — The Standards Trio — began with a pair of medium-swing, 32-bar, jazz standards (“Old Country” and “Everything I Love”) delivered in the traditional way—piano intro, opening chorus, piano solo, bass solo, drum solo, out chorus.
The trio’s third offering was not a standard, and it provided a change of pace in the form of Peacock’s repeated, hypnotic, pedal bass note—a steady rhythmic foundation which stirred the pianist from his bench.
Two encores followed, including a breathtaking version of “When I Fall in Love,” and it was 11pm when I found myself out on the street again, marveling at the relevance of the Standards Trio after 20 years.
