This trio has been most closely associated with its exploration of standards (the group is often referred to as Jarrett's "Standards Trio"). A 1987 US tour departed from that format, heading into the more free-form terrain all three musicians had embraced in the '60s. Those results were heard on the album CHANGELESS. 13 years later, the threesome threw away the songbook again, and this album, recorded live at the Royal Festival Hall in London, captures what transpired.
A celebratory spirit pulses through this 78-minute set, with exuberant interplay lighting fires at every turn. Drummer Jack DeJohnette is a marvel, pushing and prodding, and sustaining layered rhythm beds that are at once muscular and supple. In keeping with its usual identity, the trio brings things to a close with Edward Heyman and Victor Young's "When I Fall In Love." The sound quality, as always with ECM Records, is superb.
Critic Reviews

Spin (1/02, p.109) - "...An excellent live, lyrical, churning, occasionally sorta almost swinging post/anti-Ken Burns defense of free jazz..."
Q (11/01, p.122) - 4 out of 5 stars - "...It sounds like the start of a new era for the trio and won't do the cult of Jarrett any harm at all..."
Down Beat (1/02, p.66) - 5 stars out of 5 - "...Spell-inducing..."
Mojo (Publisher) (11/01, p.106) - "...Captures highlights of Keith Jarrett at the Royal Albert Hall rediscovering his 'free' playing..."
