Concluding a celebratory year for the Standards Trio, a double DVD package of Tokyo concerts. Standards III/IV brings together the films “Live At Open Theater East 1993” and “Concert 1996” for the first time on ECM. The 1993 set is an open air concert that tackles a large slice of jazz history from “Basin Street Blues” to Sonny Rollins’ “Oleo”, Jarrett’s own “The Cure” and much more. The 1996 date is the filmed footage that corresponds to the trio’s “Tokyo ‘96” CD but adds extra material – including a glowing “All The Things You Are” and a jaunty account of Ray Bryant’s “Tonk”.
