Keith Jarrett Trio, New album in JSM Radio

Keith Jarrett/Gary Peacock/Jack DeJohnette: The Out-of-Towners (2004) on JSM Radio program Jazz Amerique

At this point, after more than twenty years of recording and performing as a working trio, what else can be said about the music of Keith Jarrett, Gary Peacock, and Jack DeJohnette? All three were master musicians when they first got together, and the longevity and constancy of their association, unprecedented in jazz, has only deepened their individual talents and the empathy of their collective interaction.

Known colloquially as the "Standards Trio" due to their repertoire, the group prefers to avoid the nether regions which the individual members have all repeatedly visited in other settings, consistently producing thoughtful but sometimes startlingly original takes on classic jazz tunes with the odd original thrown in. So the release of The Out-of-Towners , a 2001 concert recorded at the State Opera of Munich, is almost certain to elicit a positive response, but perhaps not without a certain twinge of blasé familiarity. "Ho-hum," a niggling voice at the back of the mind yawns, "yet another display of the Jarrett trio's boundless eloquence."

Familiarity-bred contempt aside, "The Out-of-Towners" does document a corking good gig. Jarrett's intro to "I Can't Believe That You're In Love With Me" manages to be lovely and intriguing at the same time, and the group enters so smoothly that they seem to be extensions of the pianist's own fingers. "You've Changed" demonstrates how this group can take a standard and, without deconstructing it or losing the line of the original melody, open it up in a way that allows it to swell with new invention.

The title track, an obligatory Jarrett original, is a lengthy highlight here: a funky blues with gospel touches, it features some wonderful soloing by Peacock and is as deep-down as can be. Gerry Mulligan's "Five Brothers" swings as brightly as it should, with some effectively simple playing by Jarrett. An engaging run through Cole Porter's "I Love You" is let down only by a lengthy cymbals-only solo by DeJohnette that is strangely static and spoils the flow.

For anyone living under the proverbial rock who is unfamiliar with this trio, The Out-of-Towners makes as good an introduction as any of the group's recent work. How excited others will get about this release probably depends on their level of devotion to the trio, and on how many examples of their undeniable expertise already sit on the shelf. Track Listing: Intro/I Can't Believe That You're In Love With Me; You've Changed; I Love You; The Out-of-Towners; Five Brothers; It's All In The Game

Personnel: Keith Jarrett, piano; Gary Peacock, double-bass; Jack DeJohnette, drums

• Edgar Gabriel's String Fusion's "Not Radio Material" 

Edgar Gabriel's String Fusion's "Not Radio Material"

Edgar Gabriel's StringFusion® is an exciting new jazz fusion ensemble from Chicago. With former Cirque du Soleil electric violinist Edgar Gabriel at the helm, this group fuses elements of rock, classical and world music into its intelligent entertaining character.

While StringFusion has plenty of original material, they also play the great music of Jean-Luc Ponty, Frank Zappa, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Cirque du Soleil and much more.

The improvisations of Edgar along with Maurice Houston (Bass), Steve Doyle (Guitar), Kevin O'Connell (Keyboards), Inderjeet Sidhu (Drums/Tabla), Sarah Alexander (Cello) and Michael Levin (Saxophone/Flute/ Clarinet), are combined with elements of jazz, funk, rock, fiddle Indian ragas, and classical music to rival any jam band.

If you want to hear innovative music highlighted by a jazz/rock/fiddler/classical violinist who has worked with some of the greatest musicians in the world such as Robert Plant and Jimmy Page, Daniel Barenboim, Andrea Bocelli, Ray Charles, The Flock and Cheap Trick, StringFusion is the band you must see.

JazzAct 54, Saturday 07 January at 1pm (Paris Time)

JazzAct wish you a happy new year 2012!

We wanted to start this first issue of the year with a record that we liked in JAzzAct: « POUR EN FINIR AVEC 69 » de LA FRITURE MODERNE. Ce grand ensemble, composé des musiciens les plus créatifs de la scène toulousaine, est surnommée « Fanfare de Luxe », ce qui rappelle que la musique proposée par la friture moderne peut investir aussi bien la scène que la rue, avec une certaine force revendicatrice d’ailleurs...

Happy New Year !!!!
