Top jazz trios piano, bass, drums on vinyl?

Do you like Count Basie? He did a couple of albums on Pablo with Ray Brown and Louie Bellson, titled "For the First Time" and "For the Second Time."

He also collaborated on (I think) three albums with Oscar Peterson, making for a quartet where the two pianists trade choruses throughout. The first one was "Satch and Josh", which also included Freddie Green on rhythm guitar. The second one was "Satch and Josh ... again" minus Freddie Green and with John Heard on bass instead of Brown. The third one is "The Timekeepers.

All on Pablo, all well recorded and played, mostly bluesy jazz with a swing, a la Basie, but also a nice departure from the more cerebral nature of much of trio jazz. I also have a Marian McPartland LP on Concord (great sonics!); can't remember the title or personnel, but it's a good album. Reading your initial post makes me want some Billy Taylor and McCoy Tyner too.

I just remembered, I have a Ray Brown Trio album with Gene Harris and Mickey Roker. Harris is a very high energy player. Also on Concord, which = great sonics.

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.
