The protagonists had already recorded together on Gary Peacockâ??s Tales of Another in 1977, but Jarrettâ??s Standards project, with its dedication to the Great American Songbook, proposed a new sphere of operation, one that would make this trio among the best-loved bands in all of jazz. This New York Power Station recording from January 1983 established the simple blueprint: honour the standards as compositions and discover where the material can lead a creative improviser. There is fabulous playing here, including a wildly inventive â??All The Things You Areâ?, and heart-rending versions of â??Meaning of the Bluesâ? and â??It Never Entered My Mindâ?. -
