Hello, I'm looking for albums of jazz band or groups (from current years) that preform covers of classic jazz standards. I would appreciate any help on this. Thanks. Tal. |

Keith Jarrett's Trio albums on ECM are great also. "Whisper Not" 2000 release is my favourite of them and it is a double album as well. I much prefer Keith's Live standard albums to his own output. Heaps of Standards are covered on all of these Trio albums and all are great. ------------- Matt |

That makes sense to me, something to keep him from being too ... Its interesting, the Keith I first heard as a youth played with Dewy Redman and Ornette's rhythm section, that was one of my first jazz albums. That was a whole nother Jarret, then his work with Miles and I was still interested, but he lost me on the Kolin concerts, I never listened much after that, but the recent trio standards are not bad at all.

Okay, pretense is the nice word for it.
