1 is an album by American jazz pianist Keith Jarrett recorded over two days in January 1983 and released on ECM on cassette and LP later that year—a session which also produced Changes (1984) and Standards, Vol.

[3] Jarrett approached Peacock and DeJohnette with the idea of performing standards, which was greatly contrary to the contemporary jazz scene of the early 1980s.

"[4] The three joined in a studio in Manhattan, New York City for a 21⁄2 day session during which they recorded enough material for three albums, the two Standards volumes and Changes.

Yet this is the very pianistic method that has made Jarrett a star – his solos are so pleasingly pretty and unobtrusive that you don't really have to listen to them.

"[10] In its review of the box set, PopMatters noted that the material "sounded dazzling in the mid-1980s", adding that "[f]ans of Jarrett, like myself, will always hear these records as having a fresh immediacy.
