Inside Out is a live album by American jazz pianist Keith Jarrett, recorded at the Royal Festival Hall in London on July 26 & 28, 2000 and released on ECM October the following year.
"[2] In a contemporary review for DownBeat, James Hale remarked, "After 18 years together and 13 recordings, several of them multiple-disc sets, it might seem difficult to pinpoint a career highlight, but for Keith Jarrett’s Standards Trio, this could be it...
"[3] Writing for All About Jazz, Glenn Astarita commented, "With Inside Out, the artists' seemingly realign their musical know-how while extending their years of uniformity to the next logical degree of amplitude or state of being.
Simply put, the Trio reminds us that improvisation in general does not require a total sense of randomness without reason; as we listen to the musicians create a masterpiece akin to an artist applying strokes to a canvas.
(A top pick for 2001)"[6] A separate review for All About Jazz states, "It has long been obvious to this observer that the level of interaction among these three players borders on inhuman intuition; and that's the key to making free improvisation work.
"[7] The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4½ stars, stating, "Here are Jarrett, Peacock, and DeJohnette as they haven't been heard from in years, starting from silence, digging deep into the history of jazz, blues and even R&B to invent spontaneously a musical language that is trio-specific, communicative on the deepest levels of nuance, sonances, and spirit.
