Top jazz trios piano, bass, drums on vinyl?

Actusreus - thanks. I have the 45 of Portrait in Jazz and it is very fine. I assume the two from that great weekend are also great. It is amazing what Keepnews was able to record in a small venue with a portable recorder.

I believe John Lewis made some recordings without Milt Jackson on vibes, the "Modern Jazz Trio", as it were. He also did some solo and duo stuff. Good idea to mention him here.

Hiho, your taste is impeccable. In other words, I concur completely! ;)

I also like the Red Garland Trio and I had a favorite record which included Philly Joe Jones on drum kit. His brush work on 'The Man I Love' was as good as it gets. Even though the band line ups are often jumbled around, I myself would go looking for earlier Paul Bley records and they're all recorded in stereo as far as I know. OK, I don' want to miss this Brahms cadenza.

Totally AGree with Goofy who beat me to it.

Red Garland Trio...There is also Red Garland Quintet...i must have 5 of those albums.

Note: if you go Digital, make sure to get the Remastered CDs...waaaay better imho. richer, cleaned up...
