Top jazz trios piano, bass, drums on vinyl?

Yes, but I am so sick of "Waltz for Debby". Fortunately just about every tune Bill Evans ever played is worth a listen.

Anything by Bill Evans Trio, especially with the incredible Scott Lafaro. "Waltz for Debby" is an absolute must.

Thanks everyone. I forgot about Hank Jones. I have a couple on CD and forgot about them because I've been doing records so much. Will look into the other ones also.

All of the above. Also, Tommy Flanagan, Errol Garner, McCoy Tyner, and Bud Powell. And..... the list is long. Did anyone mention Thelonius?

I'll second Hank Jones and the Great Jazz Trio. There are a series of recordings from the 1970's and 1980's that are musically excellent and sonically spectacular. Look for "Direct From LA", "At The Village Vanguard Vols. 1 & 2" and "Love For Sale". You want the Japanese pressings on EastWind records, not the US pressings on Inner City.

Scads-
Tete Montoilu trio w/NHOP, Tootie Heath on Steeplechase - there's like 4 of them that are amazing. *****

Chick Corea - Now He Sings, Now He Sobs, and Acoustic Band LPs. *****

Oscar Peterson made bunches of trio albums - can't go wrong.

Same for Bill Evans. Waltz for Debby is from the same gig as Sunday at Village Vanguard. Pretty sure it's available as a box set. I have it on 2 old double albums + reg LPs.

Tommy Flanagan - Eclypso, Ballads and Blues, Super Session, Thelonica. There's more

Kenny Drew - Dark Beauty, By Request, At the Brewhouse, + more.

Ray Brown - Soular Energy (much loved)

Red Garland - Groovy, It's a Blue World, All Kinds of Weather, + more

Hampton Hawes - Here and Now

Roy Haynes - We Three

Fred Hersch Trio - Horizons, Whirl, + more

John Hicks - Hells Bells, I'll Give You Something to Remember Me By, + more

Mulgrew Miller - Keys to the City, From Day to Day

Ronnie Mathews - So Sorry Please

Joanne Brackeen, Ray Bryant, George Cables, Michael Camilo, Sonny Clark, Barry Harris all made nice trio LPs. Thelonious Monk Trio is from 1954. It's mono (OJC)
Regards,

Try Hank Jones (piano) with the "Great Jazz Trio" (different personnel on various LPs). Hank worked very well in trios and is a great player himself.

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.

I've got 6 or so Billy Taylor albums. They aren't that expensive usually. He's awesome. Never seen a box set though.

I just listened to 'We Get Requests' and agree, it is quite nice - thanks guys!

I have Money Jungle on 180G Vinyl and highly recommend!

Ahmad Jamal At The Pershing

The Three Sounds Blue Note Reissue by Analogue Productions.Gene Harris on piano and Bill Dowdy on drums with Andrew Simpkins on bass.

Lloydelee makes a good suggestion. We get requests is a good one.

Bill Evans "Sunday at the Village Vanguard"

missed the on vinyl part, sorry

'Money Jungle' with Ellington, Mingus and Roach is my favorite.
