I have bought most of Jarrett's 'standards trio' recordings and enjoy them all. I must admit, however, that the pieces I really love are the 'extensions' that they get into every now and then.

This is 49 mins of four such pieces recorded at various concerts in 1987 - and they are great! By the way, this disc was released in 1989; the distributor is playing delete/reissue games.

It's pretty simple, if you love things like 'The Fire Within' or 'Desert Sun' (Blue Note box) or 'Caribbean Sky' (Tokyo '96) then BUY this!

5.0 out of 5 stars A masterpiece., January 27, 2000

This is a flawless recording. The trio of Keith Jarrett, Jack DeJohnette and Gary Peacock is the finest in contemporary jazz. What makes this recording stand out in comparison to other recordings by the trio is that all of these compositions are originals. The interplay between the three musicians is remarkable. They are so finely attuned to one another they play as if they share the same thought, the same sentiment. The compositions are rich in depth, tone and mood. There is a spiritual flavor to this music that is quite moving. As with all of ECM's recordings the production is extraordinary. This disc is a personal favorite, one of Jarrett's best. Highly recomended...Simon

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Stunning, November 3, 2002

One of the more unusual installments of the Keith Jarrett Trio. Rather than standards as previous albums Changeless is a live recording of moderate paced improvisation with some of the best bass and drum interplay you will be likely to hear on what amounts to a ambient album.

When I mention ambient it is meant in the sense of gentle but insistant music that never really gets intense in a classic sense, e.g.; not much volume dynamics, yet this album features some of the most passionate work the trio had performed.

In fact, it reminded me of The Koln conceret solo album in that Jarrett is in top form, totally motivated and with wonderful accompaniment that fits like an interlaced fabric.

People I played Changeless to that do not enjoy jazz in general were attracted to it's seemingly simple drone with occasional bursts of virtuosity. From it's release to today it is still a favorite album and a worthy addition to any open minded listener's music collection.
