Keith Jarrett, Gary Peacock, Jack DeJohnette at the Kimmel Center
March 1, 2004
Keith Jarrett
In 2003, Keith Jarrett, Gary Peacock and Jack DeJohnette celebrated their 20th anniversary playing together as one of the premier trios in jazz history. To celebrate their two decades together, ECM Records released the trio’s latest CD, Up For It, a live recording capturing the trio’s July 2002 performance at the 42nd Festival de Jazz D’Antibes/Juan-Les-Pins (France).
The men came together as a permanent trio in 1983, when Jarrett invited Peacock and DeJohnette to record in New York, at a session dedicated to playing "standards" —the rich body of American popular songs from the 1930s, ‘40s and ‘50s. Twenty years later they are still going strong, recording both freely improvised music in addition to the standards.
