Inside Out is a live album by American pianist Keith Jarrett’s “Standards Trio” featuring Gary Peacock and Jack DeJohnette recorded in concert in July 2000 at the Royal Festival Hall at the Southbank Centre in London and released on the ECM label in 2001. In chronological order, and following Changes (1983) and Changeless (1987), this was the trio’s third album to feature mainly original improvised material.
In the album liner notes, Jarrett wrote that, during a tour of Europe, he suggested to Peacock and DeJohnette that they consider performing without any prearranged material, noting that the three of them had been involved in “free” improvisation since the 1960s. He commented: “Where’s the form? Don’t ask. Don’t think. Don’t anticipate. Just participate. It’s all there somewhere inside. And then suddenly it forms itself… We need to be even more in tune with each other to play this way, without material; and even more attentive. Every possibility is available if you take away the tunes, but only some are valid under the circumstances. It is only our sensitivity to the flux that determines whether the music succeeds or fails”…read more.
