Customer Reviews of Cure
Above average, but not great Keith Jarrett is known for his musical brilliance and genius, which can be heard and all his recordings. But what is more, you get the geniuses of Gary Peacock and Jack DeJohnette in addition when hearing the Standards Trio. The first tune, "Bemsha Swing" is a Monk tune which Jarrett performs in a personal way. Then a bit slower tune "Old Folks", and an up-tempo "Woody'n You". The song after that, "Blame It On My Youth" is probably the most beautiful song on this album. It is also appropiately placed, just after a fast song. After the next two songs, "Golden Earrings" and "Body and Soul", comes the title track "The Cure", a different and more free song than the standards. I don't know if it's improvised at the spot, but it almost sounds like it. Some may find it boring, but listening to it more than a couple of times, it's actually not that bad. The final song, "Things Ain't What They Used To Be", the trio can give all they have left in them.
The sound quality isn't the best, but it certainly isn't very poor either. It has a special live atmosphere to it. It isn't the best Standards Trio release in my opinion, but if you have heard some of the better ones and need some more, then this album is surely worth your money.
Good, but not his absolute best
I'm probably somewhat unusual among Jarrett Trio fans in that I like his more recent work better than his recordings from the 80's/early 90's. It may have something to do with the production--this CD, like the original Standards 1 and 2, has a kind of echoing quality a little too reminiscent of George Winston-style New Age piano, for my taste at least. The version of "Blame It On My Youth" is very good here, but Jarrett's playing is decorative and even sappy at times, unlike the version on "The Melody At Night, With You," which is stripped down and utterly heartbreaking. Also, uncharacteristically, DeJohnette plays these little trills on the ride cymbal that break the mood and almost ruin the whole performance. If you want to hear Jarrett at the absolute pinnacle of his trio work, try the recent "Up For It," or my favorite, "At the Deer Head Inn" (with Paul Motian sitting in for DeJohnette).
Great all digital recording
This CD and Standards Live 1985 are all the Keith Jarrett trio music for piano, bass and drums that you will ever need. Also good is Chick Corea's Live Acoustic CD from 1991. The Cure CD was recorded live at Town Hall in New York City in 1990 and is just beautiful- very strong performances from all three band members. New York crowds are known to be tuff on musicians so bands usually play harder than they do elsewhere.
