.:.impossible Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 That was my next recommendation! I was waiting for Al Jones to drop in with this one. Here's another one I think he'd recommend! Brötzmann (reeds), Kessler (bass), Drake (drums) Quote
skeith Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 Joe Henderson - The State of the Tenor Volumes 1 & 2. Quote
DTMX Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 DKV Trio: Live in Wels & Chicago and Trigonometry Fred Anderson: Live at the Velvet Lounge with Peter Kowald/Hamid Drake and On the Run: Live at the Velvet Lounge with Hamid Drake/Tatsu Aoki Julius Hemphill: Raw Materials and Residuals and Live From the New Music Cafe (although Abdul Wadud is playing a cello rather than a bass) Quote
DTMX Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 D'oh! I forgot Steve Lacy's The Rent. Quote
relyles Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 Probably my favorite instrumentation. Here are a few that I do not think have been mentioned: Dave Holland w/ Steve Coleman and Jack DeJohnette - Triplicate Tobias Delius - Toby's Mloby (Actually tenor-bass-cello-drums, but a great recording) David Murray w/ Richard Davis and Joe Chambers - The Hill Jimmy Halperin/Don Messina/Bill Chattin - Cycle Logical Lew Tabackin - Tanuki's Night Out Ed Blackwell w/ Dewey Redman and Cameron Brown - Walls-Bridges Thomas Chapin - Sky Piece Kahil El'Zabar w/ David Murray and Fred Hopkins - Love Outside of Dreams Joe Lovano/Anthony Cox/Ed Blackwell - Sounds of Joy Open Loose (Ellery Eskelin, Mark Helias, Tom Rainey) - Come Ahead Back Fredrik Nordstrom - Live And if we can go back just a little bit furthe than 20 years: Jimmy Lyons & Sunny Murray w/ John Lindberg - Jump Up Quote
John B Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 (edited) the last few albums by Air just make it under the 20 year cut-off. Also, all of the recent Ellery Eskelin discs on Hat have been phenomenal. (I know, accordian instead of bass, but still worth mentioning.) Edited November 18, 2003 by John B Quote
bluesForBartok Posted November 19, 2003 Report Posted November 19, 2003 Kenny Garret Triology Unless I'm mistaken I've not seen this one mentioned. I became a Garrett convert after hearing this one. Quote
.:.impossible Posted November 19, 2003 Report Posted November 19, 2003 That is a good disc, Blues... unfortunately, every disc after this that I have heard from Kenny Garrett has been a little soft. Some decent tracks on Pursuance, but I think I owe that to Metheny's guitar tones! Quote
Vincent, Paris Posted November 19, 2003 Report Posted November 19, 2003 Seamus Blake & Marc Miralta + Avishai Cohen. Quote

Some decent tracks on Pursuance, but I think I owe that to Metheny's guitar tones! I agree with you. The trio record was a hard one top. I think with Kenny it's all about seeing him live. I catch him every time he is in New York and he never fails to astonish. He seems like he's really trying to extend Coltrane's Love Supreme era approach on the alto. Quote
gdogus Posted November 29, 2003 Report Posted November 29, 2003 (edited) I don't think anyone's mentioned two sax/bass/drum trio albums by Branford Marsalis: Trio Jeepy (1988; featuring Milt Hinton or Delbert Felix on bass, and Jeff "Tain" Watts on drums) and The Beautyful Ones Are Not Yet Born (1991; Bob Hurst on bass and Watts on drums). The latter album does have a couple of cameos by Courtney Pine (tenor) and Wynton Marsalis, but it's almost all the sax trio. Both are terrific, exploratory sessions. And the album covers match in a cool way, too... .... Edited November 30, 2003 by gdogus Quote
shawn·m Posted November 30, 2003 Report Posted November 30, 2003 Some not already mentioned: · Zane Massey Brass Knuckles · Willie Williams WW III Quote

Chrome Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 BFrank (and other Morphine addicts): I kept meaning to go back and re-listen to Yes after reading your post, and I finally did this weekend. It was like seeing one of those 3D "magic window" type pictures, where everything is kind of blurry unless you look at it the right way. I put on Yes and all of sudden it was like "Hey, they ARE a sax/bass/drum trio!" What a great band they were. Quote
J.A.W. Posted December 2, 2003 Report Posted December 2, 2003 Brötzmann (reeds), Kessler (bass), Drake (drums) If only I could find a copy... Quote
king ubu Posted December 2, 2003 Report Posted December 2, 2003 How come no one mentioned this one before?! Probably the latest Shepp I really like! ubu Quote
SEK Posted December 3, 2003 Report Posted December 3, 2003 Zane Massey's "Brass Knuckles" gets my vote too. Quote
brownie Posted December 3, 2003 Report Posted December 3, 2003 Just mentioned that superb Charlie Mariano plus bass and drums date 'Frontier Traffic' on a separate Charlie Mariano thread so might just as well plug this album here. 'Frontier Traffic' from the German label Konnex has Mariano on altosax with Ali Haurand on bass and Daniel Humair on bass. A 2002 date that was released several months ago. I just discovered that CD. Love it! Quote
king ubu Posted December 5, 2003 Report Posted December 5, 2003 Thanks for this recommendation, brownie! Sounds like a good one! And Humair is getting better with age very much, in my opinion! (His "Liberté surveillée" project with Eskelin, Ducret & Chevillon is very good, in my opinion! And check him out on the Lacy CD, also a 2002 production, I mentioned further up in this thread. He is also on three tracks recorded by Lucky Thompson in trio format - this is before our timeframe, but nevertheless deserves mention - with Peter Trunk. These three titles were reissued on the second of Lucky's Complete Vogue CDs) ubu Quote
melvsax Posted August 6, 2007 Report Posted August 6, 2007 (edited) Here's a few I enjoy..... Richard Tabnik - 'In the Moment' (new artists records) Loren Stillman - 'Trio Alto Vol1' (steeplechase) - I haven't heard vol2 yet..... Lenny Popkin - 'Lenny Popkin' & 'New York Moment' (both on Lifeline Records) Jimmy Halperin - 'Cycle Logical' (cadence jazz) Edited August 6, 2007 by Adamnz Quote
paul secor Posted August 6, 2007 Report Posted August 6, 2007 Two very good recordings with Claude Lawrence, Wibur Morris, and Denis Charles: Claude Lawrence Trio: Presenting (CIMP) Lost Art/Hidden Treasures (New Fountain) and an Art Ensemble recording that was done as a trio: Tribute to Lester (ECM) Quote
clifford_thornton Posted August 6, 2007 Report Posted August 6, 2007 (edited) Two very good recordings with Claude Lawrence, Wibur Morris, and Denis Charles: Claude Lawrence Trio: Presenting (CIMP) Lost Art/Hidden Treasures (New Fountain) Haven't heard those - will have to keep an eye out. Claude Lawrence is on the Sirone Live LP (along with Denis), but gets far too little solo space. Edited August 6, 2007 by clifford_thornton Quote
Tillugg Posted August 6, 2007 Report Posted August 6, 2007 The sax-bass-drums format is one of my favorite sounds as well (and I'm a piano player! They're great for practicing along with, too.) For recent stuff, I like two trios in a more traditional vein in terms of interplay and swing, but both with their own very unique sound: Ned Goold with Ben Wolfe on bass and Don Zeloni or Ron Steen on drums and Stephen Riley on Steeplechase with Neal Caine on bass and Gregory Hutchinson or Jason Marsalis on drums I also like all four Branford Marsalis trio records. Trio Jeepy featuring Milt Hinton might be my favorite. The Dark Keys is great too. Quote
