Now into its third decade as a unit, this stupendous trio featuring pianist Keith Jarrett, bassist Gary Peacock, and drummer Jack DeJohnette has evolved into one of the most enduring and rewarding trios in the history of jazz. This brilliantly recorded live date captures this towering triad at its telepathic best. The highly imaginative and spontaneous Jarrett delivers a complex and gospel-like figure, then Peacock's fluid bass lines comment on the pianist's statement, and DeJohnette's intricate propulsions conclude the phrase. Although Bill Evans and Paul Bley first glimpsed this kind of jazz improvisation, Jarrett and his partners have created a new language that speaks with its own voice. --Eugene Holley Jr.
