Pianist Enrico Pieranunzi, in a trio with bassist Marc Johnson and drummer Joey Baron, explores ten songs from movies scored by Italian film composer Ennio Morricone. While none of the pieces are standards, the ten that were chosen are each easily adaptable to jazz. Ranging from romps to waltzes and mood pieces, the music is (not too surprisingly) often cinematic and episodic, but the songs farewell standing independent of the films. Several of the pieces deserve to be covered by other jazz musicians looking for fresh material. While Pieranunzi is the lead voice, Johnson and Baron make important contributions to swinging music.

Keith Jarrett / Gary Peacock / Jack DeJohnette - The Out-Of-Towners (2004) {ECM 1900}
Personnel:
Keith Jarrett - piano
Gary Peacock - double-bass
Jack DeJohnette - drums
Tracklist:
01. Intro - I Can’t Believe That You’re In Love With Me 12:10
02. You’ve Changed 8:13
03. I Love You 10:00
04. The Out-of-Towners 19:45
05. Five Brothers 11:12
06. It’s All In The Game 6:47
Label: ECM, 2004
Recorded in July of '01, a full year before the group's last release, '03's Up For It, The Out-of-Towners finds pianist Keith Jarrett and his long-standing Standards Trio in a more insistent mood in Munich, where Still Live, still arguably one of the trio's finest hours, was recorded back in '86. Prior to Up For It, Jarrett and the trio had released two albums of free music. While not a complete show, The Out-of-Towners still comes closest to capturing a complete concert experience by providing free playing along with standards, and even a solo piano piece, harkening to a much-anticipated solo piano recording to be released in '05.
A more pristine recording than Up for It, the new album finds the trio further mining the standards book, this time with the up-tempo "I Can't Believe You're In Love With Me" and Cole Porter's "I Love You," along with the more medium-tempo swing of Gerry Mulligan's "Five Brothers" and the gorgeous ballad, "You've Changed." The most revealing trio piece, however, is the free-style title track, which finds them exploring the blues from the outside-in, much as they did on '01's Inside Out. But whereas the blues figured prominently on all of Inside Out's pieces but never actually resolved, "The Out-of-Towners" ultimately finds its way into a traditional blues form, albeit a slightly skewed one. One of the trio's greatest strengths is its ability to imply time, with each member providing a piece of it but never explicitly playing it, and "The Out-of-Towners" may be their best recorded example.
The encore, a tranquil yet heartfelt rendition of "It's All In The Game," places Jarrett in a solo context for the first time since '99's The Melody at Night, With You, and in a live solo setting for the first time since the '95 recording La Scala. It reflects, more than anything else, the changes Jarrett has gone through since his bout with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in the latter half of the '90s. While as in the moment as the best of his solo recordings, it's also more restrained, remaining perhaps truer to the essence of the piece than Jarrett was wont to staying in earlier solo concerts. It certainly bodes well for next year's solo recording.
Jarrett's trio has become one of the primary benchmarks for piano trio interplay, and it proves that, as Jarrett has said, "it's not the material, it's what you bring to the material." While some have bemoaned the fact that Jarrett appears to have left composition behind, the reality is that with an intuitive interaction that can only come from having played together for over twenty years, Jarrett, Peacock, and DeJohnette raise the art of interpretation to a level that defies easy categorization. While they may, for the most part, choose to work existing standards, their playing is so fresh, so vital, that they make each piece sound like a new composition each time they play it.

今日偶然在專欄中見到這幅相☝️
當即脫口而出「咦~這不是巴黎的莎士比亞書店?」
為了確認自己記憶無誤,翻看了舊照片。。
住在巴黎的那段時間
經常去莎士比亞書店閒逛
當時的門口是醬子的👇
書店二樓是我長坐的地方
裡面也隔開了幾個小房間,相互通著,
散落著幾張破椅子給人打書釘,
還有木梯方便取下書架頂層的書
其中一間偏房面向靠牆的書架擺了一架舊鋼琴🎹
他們的書沒有怎樣分類,隨便看,愛買不買
想買的就拎去樓下收銀處繳錢
某日,突然一陣美妙的鋼琴聲
於是輕輕走入那間偏房,坐在彈琴者身後,聆聽。。
那是一位不知何方來的遊客
琴藝高超
她只是面對著一面書牆,彈給自己聽
而我,只是一個竊聽者
彈完,她轉身,見到我,不出聲音地給她鼓掌,相對一笑
那個片刻實在美妙
忍不住按下快門留下記憶
喔,看到她右邊👉那張綠色的破椅子嗎?
應該就是第一張☝️相中的那張~~因為整日都會被人搬來搬去的哈哈
