Even by the lofty standardsof Keith Jarrett, this issomething special. After 35years, it’s a heartfelt reunionwith Charlie Haden, thebassist in Jarrett’s first trioand in his great ‘American Quartet’ of the1970s. Following 25 years of admittedlysuperb standards albums by Jarrett’s StandardsTrio, the duets comprising Jasmine arean invigorating new format. Recorded atJarrett’s home, Haden plays with tremendouspower for a man of his age, asserting hisseniority, and never allowing Jarrett to straytoo far from the path. This dignified sojournthrough the tin-pan alley canon has thegravitas and unaffected directness of Jarrett’snow-classic solo standards disc, The Melody at Night With You.
