Setting Standards brings together three classic recordings; Standards Vol. 1, Standards Vol. 2 and Changes. Music brought to life in a sustained burst of creativity in 1983 at New York's Power Station. Presented now for the first time in a specially priced 3-CD box set. Having wrapped up two volumes of standards, the trio then moved on to improvisational areas resulting in the album, Changes. Three top flight albums recorded in one day! Not only that, the musicians had mapped out the area - from the Great American Songbook to free play - that they would continue to explore for the next quarter-century, making them perhaps the most widely-admired jazz group in the world today. This re-release celebrates 25 years of the "Standards Trio" It includes historical session photos by Deborah Feingold and updated liner notes by Peter Rüedi.

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

The first sessions produced three albums of intense, lyrical, faintly histrionic trio jazz which became some of the most influential records of their day. This trio draw yet deeper things from this particular well (and still do), but this is the startling beginning. ~ Chris Ingham, Mojo

Suffice is to say that by this stage the leader is so sure of his voice and how to inflect his improvisations for maximum emotional effect that he can try just about anything. With partners as simpatico as Peacock and DeJohnette, he does. And just about everything works. ~ Kevin Le Gendre, Echoes

En deux séances magiques, transcendées par un sentiment de liberté exaltant, la matière de trois albums est mise en bo?te. Ils ne joueront jamais mieux : beauté des commencements. ~ Le Nouvel Observateur
