On a late summer night in 1992, pianist Keith Jarrett played a trio gig at the Deer Head Inn, a small club in Delaware Water Gap, Pennsylvania. Jarrett was familiar with the spot: decades earlier, at the age of sixteen, he had played his first trio show as a leader at the club. At the Deer Head Inn, which features seven tracks, was released in 1994 to considerable praise. And now, twenty years later, The Old Country presents previously unreleased material from the same performance. Like the earlier album, it showcases interpretations of pieces from the American Songbook along with jazz standards. Bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Paul Motian make up the superb rhythm section. Peacock was in the pianist's Standards trio for decades, and Motian played in Jarrett-led bands in the 1960s and '70s, but this is the only instance when all three played together as a trio. A brisk rendition of Cole Porter's "Everything I Love" starts things off. (The album also includes an urbane version of Porter's "All of You.") Jarrett certainly honors the classic tune, but he also adventurously stretches the material at hand; the track is a remarkable example of joyous improvisatory flow. The band takes its time with Nat Adderly and Curtis Lewis's "The Old Country," a composition that appeared on Sam Jones's 1960 release, The Soul Society, and many other albums. The bluesy track is jaunty yet easygoing. At times, Jarrett's spiky jabs and involuntary vocalisms jump out, bringing an edge to the mellow music. Jarrett famously played with Miles Davis in the 1970s, and The Old Country includes two pieces associated with an earlier part of the jazz giant's career. Davis covered Thelonious Monk's "Straight No Chaser" on 1958's Milestones, and it's instructive to listen to the Davis and Jarrett recordings back-to-back: both swing fiercely, each in its own way. Frank Churchill and Larry Morey's "Someday My Prince Will Come," the title track of a 1961 Davis album, was originally written for the 1937 Disney movie, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. Jarrett's version moves nicely between slow and medium tempos, and Peacock's playing, including a succinct solo packed with ideas, stands out.  © Fred Cisterna/Qobuz
