Standards Live is a live jazz album released by the Keith Jarrett trio in 1987. Originally released by ECM, it has been multiply re-issued, including by Universal/Polygram. The album presents a performance of pianist Keith Jarrett with Gary Peacock on double bass and Jack DeJohnette on drums, recorded on July 2, 1985 in Paris, at the Palais des Congrès Studios de la Grande Armée, the second of a two-night engagement at that venue.[3]
Reception
Jazz commentator Scott Yanow states that "[t]he interplay between the players was constantly impressive."[4] The Rough Guide to Jazz describes the concert as "exceptional", singling out the performance of "Too Young to Go Steady" as "one of the most perfect and exultant trio performances in the whole of jazz."[5] In his biography of Jarrett, Ian Carr describes the album as "superlative: the incredible dynamism, the sheer creativity of the three men, the feeling of ecstasy that pervades the whole concert and the interplay and inter-dependence of the trio."[6] Carr singles out "Stella by Starlight" as here "exquisite and gripping".[7]
