Tokyo '96

Tokyo '96 is a live album by American pianist Keith Jarrett's "Standards Trio" featuring Gary Peacock and Jack DeJohnette recorded in concert in March, 1996 at the Bunkamura Orchard Hall in Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan and released on the ECM label in 1998.^[1] Footage of the concert was also released as a DVD.

Reception

The Allmusic review by Richard S. Ginell awarded the album 4½ stars and states "the standards trio lives up to its formidable track record of consistency and then some. Jarrett and perennial cohorts Gary Peacock and Jack DeJohnette are, if anything, even sharper, swinging harder and more attuned to each other than ever".^[2]
