This release commemorates the 25th year of the jazz supergroup of pianist Keith Jarrett, bassist Gary Peacock, and drummer Jack DeJohnette, one of the longest-running small combos in jazz history. This threesome is sometimes known as "the standards ... Full Descriptiontrio," their specialty being classic songs that have become cornerstones of jazz and pre-rock pop ("What's New," "The Song Is You"). One special thing about this trio is that both Peacock and DeJohnette played with the late Bill Evans, the intensely lyrical piano icon who was one of Jarrett's influences. Aspects of Evans's approach are all over their playing, from the melodious interpretations and innate sense of swing to the economy of style and graceful technique. Even though Jarrett, Peacock, and DeJohnette stretch out quite a bit, there is nary a wasted or unnecessary note. Nearly two hours of lively, thoughtful, and beautifully recorded music, MY FOOLISH HEART - LIVE is a necessity for fans of piano-trio jazz.
Personnel: Jack DeJohnette (drums); Keith Jarrett (piano); Gary Peacock (double bass).
Down Beat (p.74) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t's a kick to hear Gary Peacock and, particularly, Jack DeJohnette switch gears to handle the syncopated rhythm."

My Foolish Heart album

Keith Jarrett has lived many lives in jazz. As a sideman with Miles Davis, Jarrett played keyboards on recordings like LIVE EVIL that changed the music world by making fusion a viable genre. As the author of long, contemplative piano improvisations, he helped to spawn New Age music. And as an interpreter of various eras of European compositional music, he made the "classical crossover" years before that term became popular.
In 2004, Jarrett went back to the source, figuratively sipping at the post-bop wellspring of the Great American Songbook before an audience in Munich, Germany with drummer Jack DeJohnette and bassist Gary Peacock. Captured with the usual pristine ECM audio clarity (including the pianist's trademark grunts and scatting), this outing finds Jarrett swinging hard through Cole Porter's "I Love You" and Jimmy McHugh's "I Can't Believe That You're in Love with Me." ...
| | Thelonious Monk At Carnegie Hall CD (2005)
My Foolish Heart CD music
$13.79 
On paper it seems as if such titanic and distinctive musical personalities as Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane might not mix very well, but this stellar set, recorded live at Carnegie Hall in 1957, plays almost like a blissful extended duet between the two (with support from a sensitive yet hard-swinging bassist and drummer). The opener, "Monk's Mood," for example, features the composer/pianist's typically brilliant, idiosyncratic playing, while Coltrane floats over the top in the most lyrical of modes. Monk, in particular, is a master of tension-and-release tunefulness, creating rhythmic and harmonic intricacies that seem to spur Coltrane's saxophone exploration to new heights.
The quartet shines on ballads ("Sweet and Lovely"), but the leaders display their best chemistry on the Monk's thorny, uptempo bop numbers. "Evidence" and "Epistrophy," for instance," have Monk adding rhythmic, dissonant punctuation ...

Keith Jarrett never ceases to amaze, and amaze he does on the two-disc CARNEGIE HALL CONCERT. He's known for solo piano concerts of completely improvised music that set a high standard for invention, elegance, and sheer compositional ingenuity, but it's almost incomprehensible that Jarrett is able not only to sustain these qualities, but to push them toward greater heights on each outing. The pieces on CARNEGIE HALL CONCERT are markedly different from Jarrett's previous work: dense, internal, and ...

$15.19
It's impossible to listen to the last album that Michael Brecker recorded before succumbing to cancer without a sense of profound regret at the loss of a significant talent. Brecker sounds more soulfully energized than ever on a selection that includes complex workouts such as "Anagram," as well as the beautiful, lyrical "Pilgrimage," the last tune the saxophonist recorded. Joined by an all-star roster that includes the pianists Herbie Hancock and ...
| | Herbie Hancock River: The Joni Letters CD (2007)
My Foolish Heart album
$10.85
Any doubts about the incongruity of jazz icon Herbie Hancock covering singer-songwriter extraordinare Joni Mitchell will be obliterated on the first journey through RIVER: THE JONI LETTERS. For starters, the premise is not especially incongruous. Hancock has had a long, adventurous career in which he's traversed genres and masterfully blended styles, while Mitchell has always been deeply influenced by jazz as both a composer and a singer. RIVER features many of Mitchell's finest songs, stunning in their own right and reinterpreted beautifully by Hancock, plus a stellar assortment of musicians and guest vocalists.
Mitchell's pop and folk tendencies have been assimilated into the ...
