The Magnificent Goldberg Posted September 23, 2015 Report Posted September 23, 2015 Gotta say, I love piano trios... OK, AND organ trios!But piano trios... there were some lovely trio records made in that period (but also LOTS in the sixties). Yes to:Hampton Hawes - ANY trio, right the way throughPhineas Newborn - Ditto though I like his later stuff with Ray Brown and Elvin Jones bestRed Garland - exploring Red more and more lately and liking so much of itLes McCann - just started at the end of the fifties and truly my all time favourite, but I know lots of people can't be arsed over him; but I think there's one early 45 of his that I haven't gotJunior Mance - only got one gig on record as a trio leader in the fifties, but another all time favouriteDuke Bleeding Ellington!!!!!! 'Piano in in the goddamn foreground'!!!! Worth all of everything everyone else has done. And 'Summertime' is one of the filthiest records ever made.Ahmad Jamal's trio work for Cadet/Argo is lovely - but particularly that monster hit he had with 'But not for me' done live, with the 8 minute groove of 'Poinciana' which put the album on the charts for over two years!Ray Bryant - but his material with Buddy Tate and Sweets on board is better than the early trios - later, in the late sixties and seventies, eighties, the trio work was bestSonny Clark - yes indeed!Near miss - Bobby Timmons would be in there if he'd made any trio records before Jan 60 MG Quote

clifford_thornton Posted September 23, 2015 Report Posted September 23, 2015 Haynes' Just Us was recorded in 1960.Although I guess we could go by the estimation that the decade lasted from Jan. 1, 1951 until Dec. 31, 1960... Quote
