Corno Dolce.
Great album "Up For It", by the Standards Trio.
The album was recorded during the Festival de Jazz d´Antribes, Juan les Pins, France in 2002. Did you read the liner notes, where Jarrett speaks of the rain, rare for this city during summers in the south of France, and Gary Peacock´s recent illness at 66 years of age due to an operations against cancer and Jack DeJohnette the year before at 59 years of age having been hit by one of the wall panels on a stage.
Excepts from the liner notes by Keith Jarrett: "This time there was no sun, and we sat inside, morose, depressed and not very talkative. By dessert. Steve (the stage manager) asked me to make up my mind if we were definitely canceling or not....I asked Gary if he felt like playing. He hesitated a little, and then he said, "No". This was scary. Gary never said that. I knew he was recovering from his operation, but something in me clicked. I asked for an espresso. As I sat there waiting, the setting sun peeked out for just a nanosecond. It changed everything. We were already here. If we could play at all, we should play. I thought. We needed the theraphy. We needed the music.....I looked up at Gary and Jack, who were both smiling broadly. They couldn´t help it: the sun is always there, behind the clouds. What ended up on the recording represents, to me, the triumph of desire over circumstances, the triumph of youthful exuberance over age, and our need for music and wisdom.....When we were on stage in the middle of the music, nothing else mattered. We were home". End of excepts from this album.
They were definitely "Up For It".
Among other songs on the album, two of your fav. Corno Dolce: "My funny Valentine" and "Someday my prince will come".

Hi Intet,
Yes, I read the liner notes - what a title for the recording! I really enjoy the "Autumn Leaves" track - it really "gets down and funky".
Cheers,
Corno Dolce

Hi Intet,
I don't have *Personal Mountains* - sorry. My telepathic skills? I wouldn't bet a wooden nickle on them. :grin::grin::grin:
Thanx for sharing about KJ's early career - very fascinating:up::tiphat:
Cheers,
Corno Dolce
Hi Corno Dolce
Funny thing is that most biographies/discographies on Keith Jarrett do not contain much about the years, he recorded and performed with the Scadinavian Quartet feat. Jan Garbarek (tenor and soprano saxophones, flute and the very small saxophone, the sopranino), Palle Danilsson (double bass) and Jon Christensen (drums, percussion), though during the 1970´s-1980´ they recorded 4 albums on ECM:
"Belonging", 1974
"Personal Mountains", 1979, only released 10 years later in 1989
"My Song" 1978
"Nude Ants", double album 1980 - LIVE at the Village Vanguard
Jan Garbarek (saxophones) also participated on KJ´s album "Abour Zena" 1976 including Chalie Haden (double bass) and the Radio Symphony Orchestra, Stuttgart, Germany, conductor Mladen Gutesha.
Jarrett speaks on the DVD "The Art of Improvisation" how he during this time with this quartet wrote the music specificly for the saxophone and the piano. Jan Garbarek, whom he admired more than most other musicians, because they, the two of them, had this significant telepathy in common, when improvising on the stage.
Even funnier is that it was the producer Manfred Eicher from the ECM Records, who first suggested to Jarrett to play with Garbarek, Danielsson and Christensen at the Molde Jazz Festival, Norway.

Hi Intet,
Upon listening and relistening to the other tracks with the "Standards Trio", I'm finding heretofore undiscovered nuances in every track. I can't for the life of me explain what it is but it is there - maybe one can call it the "spirit of the musicians".
Cheers,
Corno Dolce

At the moment - Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg by Richard Wagner
Contratrombone64
Admiral of Fugues
wetted? maybe whetted is a better spelling?
Corno - Die Meistersinger is a fine work of Wagner, who was very prone to overstatement.
I'm currently listening to the Max Reger's "Concerto in the Olden Style".

Hi Corno Dolce
Would never disagree with you on that, they are there. Like Gary Peacock told in an interview: Keith and Jack always improvise.
Not that I would disagree with you on anything else:grin:

Yes, it's a mix of most popular songs from all James Bond movies. Starting with Dr. No from 1962 and ending on Casino Royale from 2006. This is actually quite nice collection. There's also a collection of pictures of all James Bond's women that is part of this album:grin:.
Here are some titles:
Nancy Sinatra - You only live twice
Paul McCartney & Wings - Live And Let Die
Tina Turner - Goldeneye
Chris Cornell - You Know My Name
and much more.
Regards,
Mat
