Now in it's 30th year, the Keith Jarrett Trio is widely considered, as the NY Times recently remarked, to have set the gold standard for jazz groups, and this sparkling concert recording from 2009 is issued to mark a milestone anniversary. The SOMEWHERE in which the Standards trio find themselves is Lucerne, Switzerland with a performance both exploratory and in-the-tradition. It's review of the show "Kontrollierte Ekstase" "controlled ecstasy" an apt metaphor for a set that begins in improvisational "Deep Space" modulates into Miles Davis's "Solar", soars through the standards "Stars Fell on Alabama" and "Between the Devil And the Deep Blue Sea" and climaxes with an extended romp through "West Side Story", as Bernstein's "Somewhere" and "Tonight" are bridged by the freely associative Jarrett original "Everywhere".
