rdf:langString Setting Standards: New York Sessions is a three-CD compilation album by the Keith Jarrett Trio, featuring Jarrett on piano, Gary Peacock on bass, and Jack DeJohnette on drums. It brings together the contents of Standards, Vol. 1 (1983), Changes (1984), and Standards, Vol. 2 (1985), all of which were recorded for ECM Records at the Power Station in New York City during January 11–12, 1983. Setting Standards was released by ECM in 2008 to mark the 25th anniversary of the trio. The album features two discs of jazz standards plus a third disc containing tracks that, with one exception, were spontaneously improvised. According to Jarrett, at a dinner with the musicians prior to the recording session, he spoke of standards as "a tribal language" and "a world of wonderful little melodies," and proposed that they record without any pre-planned arrangements. Peacock later recalled: "We went in to do just one album but we came out with enough material for three albums. They just let the tapes roll. It was incredible!"
