Top jazz trios piano, bass, drums on vinyl?

First lp was slury like he said. 2nd was better. Wish all the recordings were given more attention. iPhone can be clumsy for submissions.

I have the Bill Evans box set of 45rpm pressings from Analogue Productions. It is a treasure trove of jazz, and it even includes the Cannonball Adderley "Know What I Mean" album with Bill Evans (probably my favorite of all the wonderful albums in this box).

I've only compared a couple of the albums to their 33rpm equivalents, and I think the 45rpm versions give it that extra layer of realism.

Ditto here. After hearing a few superb 33 rpm Bill Evans reissues on Riverside, I was quite skeptical about the 45 rpm reissues, but I am a convert after acquiring a 45 rpm copy of "Sunday at the Village Vanguard." The sound has more weight as compared to the 33 rpm pressing, which certainly contributes to that extra layer of realism you perceived. The air, detail, subtlety, it's all there, but the 45 rpm has that feeling of closeness that 33 rpm lacks. Highly recommended.

i don't believe anyone mentioned the bad plus--purists will shudder since they're far removed from traditional piano jazz and tend to rock dynamics, but they're damn good. and available on vinyl.

Another +1 for Hank Jones. I have "Hanky Panky" and "Just for Fun." This thread inspired me to dig out Hanky Panky. The trio on that one is completed by Ron Carter on bass and Grady Tate on drums. "Just for Fun" has Ray Brown and Shelley Manne, plus a couple of duets with guitarist extraordinaire Howard Roberts.

Somebody already mentioned the Keith Jarrett "Standards" trio with Gary Peacock and Jack DeJohnette. If you do some looking, you'll find some of these on LP, most likely ECM, which pretty much qualifies them as audiophile pressings as well.

I am a fan of Marilyn Crispell, who is one of the best post-Cecil Taylor pianists of our time but she's much more lyrical and delicate particularly in her ballads. It's misleading to called her a Taylor follower as the influence has more to do with their classical background than in style. In recent years she has added a sizable output on ballads in her catalog, which is closer to her other influence in spirit, John Coltrane. Here's an artist fusing the aesthetics of Taylor with the spirituality of Trane and her own her sensitivity. Her trio recordings with bassist Gary Peacock and the late great drummer Paul Motion on ECM are not to be missed. The presence of Motion, unsurprisingly, reminds listeners of the famous Bill Evans trio.

Here's a tracking called "Voices From the Past" from her excellent album "Amaryllis" from 2001. Not sure if it is available on vinyl, along with her other ECM recordings. It really doesn't matter to me, I just go for the music so I bought the CD. Sigh...so much music, so little time...
