Great ECM budget price re-issue in new slim-line Digipak sleeve.The musical content is exactly the same as the original issue but without sleeve notes.A nice gentle & romantic set of tunes that puts Jarrett's wonderfully lyrical piano style to great effect.As always Peacock and Dejohnette complement well although the latters drums seem overmiked with the cymbals slightly more obtrusive than you would like, otherwise excellent sound from ECM as always.Musically though this stands shoulder to shoulder with Jarretts very best work and is a must for all the fans of the trio's standards albums.Hope ECM release more recordings at this budget price.

Excellent. Always best playing and improvising on standard songs, rather than his own compositions.
As usual excellent backing from the other group members.

One of the best yet that I have heard from the trio. Jack Dejohnette is at his best and does not miss a beat. He keeps a steady beat but adds a generous fill in the most appropriate times. This album was rated in Drum magazine as one of their top 50 cd's for people who are looking for some unbelievable drumming. check it out

I cannot write a review of this album. My aim in writing this is simply to persuade you to listen to it.
I bought this vinyl in 1986 with two Bill Evans albums ('The Tony Bennett and Bill Evans Album' and 'Paris Concert Vol 1' - both recommended) from HMV on Oxford Street in London. I was a big Oscar Peterson fan at the time, and I wasn't impressed initially by this first introduction to Mr. Jarrett. Grunting I was used to - whining though? You must be kidding!
Still I had enough of an ear to hear something interesting in his rhapsodic solo introduction to Stella By Starlight. I'd never heard anyone make a piano sing like that. I just played that passage over and over - not really interested in the rest of the album.
I can't really remember at what point I started really hearing the music, following the solo lines like stories, appreciating the integrity of each performance, and of the trio itself. It was at least twenty years ago.
As a work of art it is perfect. It transcends the musicians, the material and the genre. I am not uncritical of Keith Jarrett or any artist: he has major and minor works. But occasionally there is a confluence of craft, inspiration and occasion that produces something immortal. You have nothing less than that with this album.

so far i am interested in good music and in fact in a good sound..... this album matches both, recorded in 1985 it is still a milestone in interpretation, musicality and not at least in sound... probably the best version of stella by starlight a great album
