Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Those who believe that telepathy does not exist should check out Up for It: Live in Juan-Les-Pins. This trio--consisting of pianist Keith Jarrett, drummer Jack DeJohnette, and bassist Gary Peacock--has been perfecting the science of syncopated thought for two decades. Recorded in the South of France, it has all of the elements of the group's celebrated studio recordings. Jarrett's elegiac and encyclopaedic pianisms, Peacock's intelligent basslines, and DeJohnette's intricate and inspired drumwork turn time-worn standards such as "If I Were a Bell" and "Someday My Prince Will Come" into intense and intimate sound portraits. Bill Evans' famous trio with Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian may have set the mould, but Jarrett, Peacock, and DeJohnette have broken it in their own sweet, swinging, and soulful way. --Eugene Holley, Jr, Amazon.com


CD Description

According to Keith Jarrett's ultimately uplifting liner notes, this live recording is one that very nearly did not happen. Apparently, it does not typically rain much or often in July on France's Cote d'Azur. However, in 2002, the sun did not shine for several days running there and the (outdoor) Festival de Jazz d'Antibes, not being accustomed to the uncooperative heavens, did not have a backup performance venue. On top of all of this, the members of this nearly legendary trio were all more or less recuperating from various illnesses, and feeling all the glummer for the rain. After an epiphany over an espresso backstage (read: the rainy, windswept beach), Jarrett convinced his colleagues that more or less, the show must go on. Besides he lobbied, "We need the therapy.We need the music".
Playing beneath plastic drop clothson stage with little drips coming in here and there, the trio proceeded to play an inspired set of music, making it clear that the listeners, too, "need [this] music". Jarrett, Gary Peacock and Jack DeJohnette have been playing together for 20 years now and the fortuitous, compounded result is a trio that delivers on an exceptionally high level. To wit, Jarrett's solo on Oliver Nelson's "Butch & Butch" was nominatedfor a Grammy. Fans can be grateful that Jarrett's trio, in spite of the weather and their health, were and usually are,UP FOR IT, which is, incidentally, the title of the album'shoe-down closer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Up for it? Certainly!, 20 Jul 2003
By Mr. Ra Simpson "Rick Simpson" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the hardest swinging Jarrett I have ever heard. The trio bring a new sound to the standards and DeJohnette, instead of trying to be clever with the beat just lays down a glorius swing all the way through the album. If ballads are your thing, there isnt a single true ballad on this album, this closest it gets to is a version of "My Funny Valentine" but that gets quite a rip-roaring treatment.

However, the set is fantastic and the trio have never sounded so good. For someone who thought they had heard all the trio had to give, this has changed my expectations! Top notch!!

4.0 out of 5 stars A real return to something magical, 2 Dec 2003
By Gareth Smyth "Enjilos" (Beirut) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
I agree with the last reviewer. I was a little reluctant about getting another Jarrett CD after being a little disappointed with 'The Melody, the Night ...' which I found a little uninspired. I am also getting wary of ECM putting out too much stuff.

But this is real return to something magical by the Jarrett-deJohnette-Peacock trio who have been playing together for 20 years.

Scrapple from the Apple and Someday My Prince will come are real hard-core jazzer standards because they are associated with Mssrs Parker and Davis - but on these and the other tracks, recorded live in concert, the trio comes up with some really enthused, interesting, attention-grabbing stuff.
