5.0 out of 5 stars NEVER LET ME GO, June 26, 2001

Compared to Standards vol. 1 this recording is more peaceful and quiet. Still it features one of the most brilliant performances of this legendary trio - a haunting ballad " NEVER LET ME GO". If someone ever makes a CD of "THE BEST OF JARRETT/PEACOCK/DEJOHNETTE" then song no. 4 from this album should be there by all means. There is no recording of this trio that isn't worth your money (although I am not fond of BYE BYE BLACKBIRD). Overall - 5 stars, lots of pleasure and feeling of miracle.

5.0 out of 5 stars ... PERFECTION ..., September 4, 2007

By 

Blazing Arrow 74 "Anselmo D. Castillo" (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

... This album has completely changed the way I listen to music ... I have never in my life heard such beautiful INTERPLAY between people; it's as if each person is soloing at all times, just in varrying degrees ... This singular album represents what I love most about Jazz, and my life will never be the same for it ...

... I also have Vol. I, and for some reason, many people seem to take-to that album much more than this, as it's place in amazon's sales list makes obvious, however, I think this is a superior album -- Vol. I is just a warmup for this album: believe me !! ...

... This is the single, best trio recording I own, and the absolute best I've heard in my lifetime so-far ... Please do yourself a favor, and purchase a few for you & yours ...

4.0 out of 5 stars the trio continues to work its magic, May 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Standards 2 (Audio CD)

This second edition of standards by jarrett and his compatriots, gary peacock (bass) and jack dejohnette (drums), extends the feel and atmosphere of the first volume. Jarrett is his introspective best, pushing and pulling the melodies as he will without losing the basic premise of the original song. As always, you need to listen carefully to follow the weaving dexterity of his solos. Peacock and Dejohnette are superb in their support of jarrett's piano, with some excellent solos of their own. This is a moving, compelling piece of work. Take time to savor it.
