Modern Jazz trios

This podcast showcases modern jazz trios. This small ensemble format takes many forms. Although one usually thinks of piano based trios in jazz, we also have trios led by drums, guitar, sax and bass represented here. We start with a Monk standard which Larry Coryell rocks out on. We then continue with some very thoughtful trio playing from drummer George Schuller and pianist Dan Tepfer. We sneak in a Tepfer/Preminger duet before hearing more great trio music by Noah Baerman, Vijay Iyer, Joshua Redman, Mike DiRubbo, John Pattitucci and the late Thomas Chapin.
