Live Jazz Trio Recordings

Bill Evans Tokyo concert

You know, it doesn't have to be a piano trio. How about Joe Henderson with Al Foster and Ron Carter? I'm talking about the "Standards" recordings. Very hipological indeed! Oh yeah, and Sonny Rollins had a date like that--was it with Elvin Jones and Bon Crenshaw?

The two Joe Henderson State of the Tenor recordings (love the name!) are perennial favorities of mine. Not great recordings particularly, but great music.

Drubin: Thanks for reminding me of the title; "State of the Tenor." Love Joe's "Friday the 13th!"

Here's a couple more live ones:
