Keith Jarrett Trio: Changeless (1992)

Keith Jarrett Trio: Changeless (1992)

For me, this stands out from all the rest of the excellent Trio albums simply because it isn’t a standards album: consisting entirely of Jarrett originals, this is like one of his solo concerts translated into the group format. Each of the first three selections is built upon a constant revolving theme, evolvings like a Jarrett solo piano improvisation. “Dancing” has a swaying Latin beat in the percussion and bass; “Endless” is full of lyrical invention at a slower tempo; “Lifeline” is catchy and hypnotic; and the fourth number, “Ecstasy,” grows out of “Lifeline,” closing the album perhaps inevitably with a drawn-out, peaceful piano tremolo. Bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Jack DeJohnette go with the flow.
