"These three discs are straightforward reissues of their originals and major on the pianist's unique vision of jazz standards as vehicles of inspiration rather than just riffable themes. ... What's intriguing is to be confronted with them as one 'meta-album', representing an entire process - or at least its audible results - as if the very act of repackaging these recordings in this way afforded a new perspective on the music, which it does."
(Roger Thomas, Jazzreview)
"From the very beginning Jarrett emphasized two imperatives: they must take the standards seriously as great if unrecognized art on a small scale, and they had to do so from an up-to-date and radically improvisational vantage point. Once the musicians entered the studio the effect was astonishing. The old tunes unleashed a rush of emotions, a delight in streams of collective communication, without preconditions, following not only the skeletal chord changes but the melodic lines of force in the originals."
