This Jazz Feature stems from a series of dates in New York that marked the official inception of this magnificent trio of geniuses. They are not referred to as the Keith Jarrett Trio but referred to equally and musically as Keith Jarrett, Gary Peacock and Jack DeJohnette. They came together as a working trio after their first outing in 1977 on a Peacock recording for ECM called "Tales of Another". In 1983 it was time to make the group official and they made three recordings at this 1983 session. Two were called "Standards 1 and 2" and a third was a departure from The Great American Songbook called "Changes" and it was totally improvised. The first two movements were called "Flying Part 1 and Part 2" and the third piece was a Jarrett composition called "Prism". The album was released as "Changes" and that is tonight's Feature. Enjoy the improvised music of three men of musical genius.
