Resurrecting this thread having just recieved a copy of "The Uri Caine Trio Live at the Village Vanguard", a fine set which has a real power and vitality which a lot of trios lack - not always a bad thing, mind you. As you'd expect from Caine, some of it is very downtown, touches of Cecil Taylor merge in with some great rhythmical playing. Some standards - a great "Cheek to Cheek" which, for stretches, is pretty near unrecognisable - and good originals. Worth looking out. Anyone got any other stuff by him or recommendations to similar?

Must pick that up. Saw him live a couple of years ago with his trio, supporting Charlie Haden, he was excellent. The only record of his I have is his live Mahler record, Mahler in Toblach, which is worth hearing. His stuff with Dave Binney is good too.

For me, it has to be something by Chick Corea - especially as I have been buying his stuff since about 1976 and actually got to see him last night at The Barbican with his Elektic Band (words cannot express, etc, so I won't try).
I haven't quite made my mind up on Now He Sings, Now He Sobs, although when I bought it on CD a while ago I played it lots and loved it (I'm sure I posted something on this forum about it) - but now - well - It would have to be something by Chick Corea, but I haven't yet decided what.
This will be my listening task for the week. I used to have an old Blue Note acoustic double album of his, now gone. I wonder what it was. I wish I still had it. Can't find any reference to it on the web at all.
Now he blisses-out, now he kicks himself.

Ray Brown Trio
"Live at the Loa: Summer Wind"
Ray Brown/Gene Harris/Jeff Hamilton
In particular standout tracks are;
Real Blues
Li'l Darlin
Can't help lovin Dat Man
This is actually a Hybrid SACD but plays fine as CD. The major thing is all three contribute, it's not all piano with a bit of bass & drums.

Listening every day planning to "not fade away"

Midnight Sugar - Tsuyoshi Yamamoto trio.
Superbly recorded at AOI studios, Tokyo in 1974 and still on high rotation at my place.
Faultess Japanese pressings on the Three Blind Mice Label. Girl Talk and Misty by the same trio are similarly excellent.

Herbie Nichols
"Herbie Nichols: The Complete Blue Note Recordings"
Also, "Love, Gloom, Cash, Love"
One of the greatest jazz pianists ever! If you have a taste for completely original compositions, astounding technique, and are interested in exploring one of the most tragically forgotten geniuses of modern jazz, I would give these recordings my highest recommendation!
