Guy Berger Posted September 17, 2006 Report Posted September 17, 2006 Jack D has played in one of the premier piano trios in the history of jazz for the past 23 years. Yet oddly, his discography outside of the Jarrett trio consists of only a few piano trio dates.* I find this somewhat surprising. Any ideas/explanations? Since I imagine that demand is high, my guess would be a supply-side issue. Guy *Interestingly, all three of his non-Jarrett piano trio dates since 1990 have included Dave Holland. Quote
BFrank Posted September 17, 2006 Report Posted September 17, 2006 I can't answer your question, but this is a fantastic album. 1/2 is Jack w/Eddie Gomez and the other half is Tony Williams/Ron Carter. Supertrios Quote

Chuck Nessa Posted March 30, 2007 Report Posted March 30, 2007 He probably gets his "fill" of trios with Keith. Quote
Joe G Posted March 30, 2007 Report Posted March 30, 2007 What are they? One is Geri Allen's The Life of a Song, w/Jack & Dave Quote
7/4 Posted March 30, 2007 Report Posted March 30, 2007 There has to be at least one or more with Richie Bierach. Quote
sal Posted March 30, 2007 Report Posted March 30, 2007 (edited) I saw him and Dave Holland perform with Herbie Hancock in a trio. Not sure if they ever recorded together. edit to add that I agree that Jack is very good in this setting. Seeing him with Herbie, as well as Keith Jarrett and Danilo Perez, he really pushes the pianst. Edited March 30, 2007 by sal Quote

BFrank Posted March 31, 2007 Report Posted March 31, 2007 Mabern's "Straight Street" is a great album. There's another Joanne Brackeen trio album w/Jack & Eddie Gomez: "Keyed In" So.....it looks like he's played with a LOT of piano trios, actually. Quote

Guest donald petersen Posted March 31, 2007 Report Posted March 31, 2007 or for those who like the older stuff.... Quote
mikeweil Posted March 31, 2007 Report Posted March 31, 2007 There was a Kevin Hays Trio on Blue Note with Jack. There is an unreleased David Kikoski trio session for Epicure with him. Considering he was playing with Bill Evans, gigs regularly with Jarrett, and has plenty of other projects running, I find that number of trio recordings fully satisfying. Quote

AllenLowe Posted April 1, 2007 Report Posted April 1, 2007 anybody here ever met him? the reason I ask is that in the early 1990s I was at Tower Records in NYC and I looked over and there he was standing next to me. I said "are you Jack DeJohnette?" and he looked at me, shook his head as in yes, very slowly, amd glared at me like an angry guy on the street; and than just stared at me like he wanted to kill me. I thanked him for his time and than ran away. very weird... Quote
AllenLowe Posted April 1, 2007 Report Posted April 1, 2007 actually, I didn't thank him and run away, but the rest of the story is true. I remember that everyone, including the staff of Tower Records, just watched him walk around like he was some kind of nut; everybody avoided eye contact with him - Quote
7/4 Posted April 1, 2007 Report Posted April 1, 2007 maybe he had someone tied up in a back room. Quote
