While other ECM veterans (such. As Jan Garbarek) from Free Jazz ("Afric Pepper Bird") to pop ("Rites") hike, Jarrett treading the opposite way. It was believed, the trio game is to "Tokyo 96" at the end of the development possibility (at least in standards terms), succeeded Jarrett, after a serious illness (or perhaps because of?), With "Whisper Not" to perfect the standard genre yet. But since "Inside Out" and the latest with this his new opus, the trio has the traditional jazz of Real-Books turned their backs and thus continues the early 80 albums ("Changes" and "Changeless" on). Jarrett's game however is far from the erstwhile "Cologne Concert" meditations and more reminiscent of the second part of "La Scala". Gary Peacock benefits on the new CD, especially by the excellent sound quality that gives more space and depth to the bass. Jack DeJohnette expanded his drum set to percussion instruments which give the free improvisations new, exotic colors that would not fit into the standards. Who connects "Jazz" with whiskey, cigar and pub, rather buys the double CD "Whisper Not". Whoever listens to jazz in the concert hall, is at the right place and can this double CD confidently the previous "Inside Out" prefer there but here, despite supposedly "free" improvisations still - was present too Blues - for my Geschamck.
