Jazz Piano Trio / Spanish Guitar

Some really good suggestions here; but I can't resist the urge to include a few more. I really like Newbie's recommendations, and the jazz piano stuff Zachhanh mentions is great.

1. Bill Evan's "Waltz for Debby" is essential.

2. Still thinking about the first response above....Oscar Peterson with Joe Pass kills. No drums on these, but check out Peterson's "The Trio" or "The Giants" (guitar, bass, drums). Can't go wrong with those!

3. You really need to hear some of Keith Jarrett's Standards Trio. Perhaps the best traditional piano trio working today. Take your pick from the titles. These guys can do it all. Plus, excellent sonics.

4. I'll also second any of the classic Blue Note Sonny Clark recordings.

There is always more to mention, but these are excellent choices...I'm going to put on some joe pass!

Just wanted to tell everyone that the Nils Lofgren CD Live Acoustic is avialable on cdbaby.com for $14.99. They have lots of great music and service is first rate.

Great reccomendations. A thread like this can easily cost me $100.

My reccomendation in the jazz department is Jessica Williams "Live at Yoshi's Vol 1." I have 5 of her cd's and have never been dissapointed.

Lots of good suggestions here. I've got a dark horse: Its called 'The Three'. Joe Sample on Piano, Ray Brown on Bass & Shelly Manne on Drums. Released in 1976. Get the Japanese version on the EW Label (There is an inferior US version too). Its a direct cutting disc. Good music and a really really great recording.
