Steve Reynolds Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 As I've been absolutely loving "March of Dimes" from BassDrumBone with Ray Anderson on trombone, Mark Helias on bass and Gerry Hemingway on drums, I was thinking about what other trios exist with simply brass plus bass/drums rhythm. I thought of Connie Bauer with Peter Kowald and Gunther (Baby) Sommer but little else. Of course it puts much pressure on the horn player - and initially I kinda want to hear a reed player - probably as that is what I'm accustomed to. As I was listening maybe my second time through March of Dimes - fwiw a great sounding recording - I even was thinking adding Ellery Eskelin would add something - but after a few spins, I have been really enjoying the unique open feel - as I did when I saw the great trio live a few years back. Any comments on people who have heard these trios - or any ideas/suggestions of others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Kart Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Trumpeter Dave Ballou's "Insistence" with Michael Formanek and Randy Peterson and "Volition" with Cameron Brown and Jeff Williams. Good stuff if you like Ballou. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonnymax Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) I also enjoy the sound of this particular kind of trio, especially BassDrumBone. Here are some other suggestions. Hal Crook has recorded a few albums with bass and drums, as well as some with guitar and drums. I also like Nil's Wogram's Nostalgia Trio, a bone-organ-drums outfit.

mikeweil Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Drummer Joey Baron had a trio with trombone, sax and himself, no bass needed due to the presence of Baron's big bass drum, and I think another one with trombone, bass (Ron Carter?), and drums - Bassdrumbone (?) ... can't recall details right now.

Steve Reynolds Posted February 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 I'm gonna pick out one of the Jeb Bishop groups. He is a big favorite of mine on the trombone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 There's also Paul Smoker's GENUINE FABLES on Hat, with Phil Haynes and Ron Rohovit. MISSISSIPPI RIVER RAT, on Sound Aspects, is also worth hunting down. Herb Robertson is, IMHO, still a terribly underrated musician. Versatile, witty, but also somehow who plays with a lot of fire. IIRC correctly, he's recorded with Dominic Duval and Jay Rosen in a trio setting... for Cadence and CIMP, so there's that caveat. His JMT / Winter + Winter Bud Powell recital, however features a brass quintet (Brian Lynch, Vincent Chancey, Bob Stewart and Robin Eubanks) backed by Joey Baron. Someone has posted a liver performance (radio shot?) of this same band, more or less (sub Steve Swell and Joe Daley) playing Robertson's arrangements to the Tubes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnBxnYgB3j4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Reynolds Posted February 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Herb is one of my faves I'm gonna get one of his newish trio records on not two I do have Genuine Fables - I also saw Smoker with Tchicai, Lane & Altschul many years ago The Knitting Factory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeway Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 It's the bassist's trio but fits the requirements: GIVE AND TAKE - John Lindberg (b), Barry Altschul (d), George Lewis (tb). I was actually surprised by this one. Plus BassDrum Bone has about half dozen albums together in that trio formation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.:.impossible Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Jeb Bishop, Bryan Hooten (trombones), Bob Miller (trumpet), Cameron Ralston (bass), Scott Clark (drums) have been playing under the name Plush Dagger. I don't know if a record is in the cards, but the music has been very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trumpet Guy Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Lots of great stuff mentioned! I'd add Tim Hagans "Audible Architecture" Avishai Cohen's Triveni, Peter Evans has one...
