Some more modern jazz piano trios

the gold standard is of course bill evans’s trio, especially the seminal recordings with scott lafaro and paul motian

in more recent times keith jarrett with gary peacock and jack dejohnette approach the prior standard (don’t skip the deer head inn album with paul motian sitting in for jdj)

brad mehldau’s trio is even more recent times is also quite excellent, and sets a high standard (grenadier and ballard)

chick corea’s trilogy albums are also stupendous (mcbride/blade)

i would also suggest listening to swedish pianist bobo stenson’s trio work with anders jormin on bass, with various drummers, on ecm, which is outstanding - absolutely transcendant beauty

GoGo Penguin is one of my favorite new jazz trios. Definitely one of the leading groups in the new London jazz scene. Check out songs like Raven, Control Shift or GBFISYSIH.

Thanks for starting this discussion. Love piano jazz and I'm familiar with many but certainly not all of the suggestions. This will provide me many days of discovery and listening pleasure.
