Keith Jarrett may be at his best in trio format with bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Jack DeJohnette, two stellar musicians who offer more than solid support. Peacock is a constant presence, providing a propulsive beat and stimulating counterlines, while DeJohnette varies his percussive textures, shifting accents, creating polyrhythms, and adding detail. They're all in excellent form for this Tokyo concert, creating an 80-minute program that begins with Jarrett's lyrical, unaccompanied theme statement to "It Could Happen to You," then ranges freely between standards and originals, from the rhapsodic "Summer Night" to the bop blues of Charlie Parker's "Billie's Bounce." The touching "Last Night When We Were Young" segues easily into Jarrett's own dancing "Caribbean Sky," while the extended "I'll Remember April" is a fine essay in developed group interplay. --Stuart Broomer
