At The Deer Head Inn

Released

Upon hearing “Keith Jarrett Trio,” fans will picture him with bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Jack DeJohnette. But on this live recording from 1992, which celebrates a homecoming to Allentown, Pennsylvania, he substitutes DeJohnette for Paul Motian. Both players are easily capable of filling a room, but at no point in this set of seven do they allow their wings to enter each other’s airspace. Motian’s brushing throughout Jaki Byard’s “Chandra” stands out for its understated groove aesthetic, and his contributions to the more collectively minded “Solar” and “You Don’t Know What Love Is” make for some benchmark-in-the-making brilliance.
