Whisper Not (Keith Jarrett album)

Writing for DownBeat, Ted Panken commented: "the pianist makes a Steinway dance buoyantly through 14 canonical tunes, conjuring free-as-the-wind melodies with effortless grace. The animating imperative here is the syntax of bebop... Unencumbered by iconic interpretations of the now vernacularized repertoire, Jarrett, Peacock and DeJohnette impart to their statements the improvising-from-point-zero approach that is their trademark; they avoid cliché while retaining idiomatic nuances of phrasing and swing that define the form and make it live. All in all, a stimulating paean to the rejuvenating powers of improvisation by one of the supreme communicators in jazz." Gary Giddins remarked: "When Jarrett, Peacock, and Jack DeJohnette lift off at medium-up tempos, they create their own orbit. 'Bouncing with Bud,' 'Groovin’ High,' and 'What Is This Thing Called Love?' are spectacular, as are the encores." ==Track listing==
