The Keith Jarrett Trio, or The Standards Trio, as it later became known, with Gary Peacock on double bass and Jack DeJohnette on drums, is one of the most celebrated and influential jazz trios of all time. The group was formed in 1983 but Jarrett and DeJohnette had been collaborating since the late 1960s when they performed together in Miles Davis' band. The early version of the Jarrett trio featured Charlie Haden on bass, with Peacock coming in at the suggestion of ECM founder, Manfred Eicher. Jarrett, Peacock and DeJohnette were already well-established, top-tier artists, and the trio quickly established itself as one of the time's most innovative and creative jazz groups. Their unique approach to improvisation and musical interplay was widely acclaimed, and they went on to record several critically praised albums. The Standards Trio did not confine its repertoire to interpretations; they typically added one or two original compositions to their recordings.
