Greatest Trio Ever!

[Bassist4Life]

Im great friends with Big Organ Trio, and love em to death. Their music is killer, and its very infectious. You listen once, and return again and again.

if you love BOT, you might like my band. There are a couple of vocal covers on there, but that's for a different audience. Check out "The Trap", it's live.

[Ozonbass]

Correct. It's made up of Bill Evans, Scott Lafaro, and Paul Motian.
Edit: Sorry, forgot the winky thing -

I was thinking more along the lines of Jarrett, Peacock and DeJohnette.

I was thinking more along the lines of Jarrett, Peacock and DeJohnette.

Another fine one - saw them in person (never saw Bill). I would give the nod to Bill for inaugurating the highly interactive thing and freeing up the bass and drums from their traditional roles (pretty experimental at the time), and because LaFaro's playing was truly ground-breaking. But I do love Keith (though my personal fave Keith stuff is the American Quartet recordings). Bill's greatness is unquestionably of a more subtle sort, and isn't always apparent across the intervening decades.

Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble

Texas Flood Live

This is why I play.

 

[Richland123]

I saw Bachman-Turner Overdrive play as a 3 piece for a concert in Toronto back in the 80s and they sounded great. They were the opening act for a concert at the old Exhibition Stadium with Loverboy and Van Halen during their first your with Sammy Hagar.

Standards trio-Keith Jarrett ... is the first one that comes to mind...
Bill Evans Trio -Evans,Lafaro,Motian
the Dave Douglas Tiny Bell Trio is good too,
and off course the John Scofield Trio.
Can't think of any more at the moment

 

[ERIC31]

Los Lonely Boys too. Those guys ROCK!!!!

[MycooLeeyun]

Maybe not greatest ever, but Muse

 

[dje31]

WHAT THE...?! Six pages and no love for New Orleans' own...ZEBRA!

To say nothing of...Blink-182!

Thank God someone already mentioned Triumph, so I didn't have to.

David Sancious and Tone (David Sancious, Gerald Carboy, Ernest Carter)

Very much agreed. I love DS. His non-Tone solo albums are great, too.

I wish he didn't only play with top acts like Sting and Clapton who are to expensive to see.

 

[Adam Bomb]

Anybody mention the Presidents of the USA yet? Not the greatest trio ever, but really great.

[DizzyExiled]

Fred Durst, A Trebuchet, and a VERY deep canyon.

 

[dancing_chris]

these guys:

 

[Green Mind]

The Minutemen.

I was worried I was going to get to the end of the thread without seeing their name. D. Boon, Mike Watt, and George Hurley are all great musicians. Mike Watt is one of my favourite bassists as well.

Another absolutely great jazz trio:

pianist Tete Montoliu with drummer Albert Heath & monster bassist Niels-Henning Ørsted Pederson.

 

[dubstylee]

Sublime -

Bradley Nowell - Guitar
Eric Wilson (God of Thunder) - Bass
