Favorite Horn Trio Records


paul secor

Recommended Posts

The piano trio thread turned up some interesting choices. How about "obscure" (or at least fairly obscure) horn trios?
Anyone can choose trio records by Sonny, Ornette, Cecil, Air, etc. if they choose to, but I assume that most already know about those.

I'll start with a few:

Roy Campbell Pyramid: Communion

R-2045507-1264564685.jpeg.jpg

Don Ellis: Out of Nowhere - I like this one better than How Time Passes.

Louis Cottrell Trio: Bourbon Street

The Louis Cottrell album is wonderful.  As I recall, the CD reissue adds a couple of tunes that were on a N.O. collection on Riverside.

The Davison-Wettling-Charlie Queener (obscure as hell -- recorded live at a Wettling gig, shortly before his death) is superb. (Ooops -- can't put my hands on my copy, damn it, but I think Kenny Davern may be on it too.)

Don't recall the Altschul that well, and I'm not a big Irabagon fan, but my memory is that Altschul himself is in excellent form.

Hooray for Lucky and Konitz!  ... And I would definitely say that Motion is "in the canon" these days.  At least it is in my book. ;) 

 

Not sure whether these qualify as obscure -- but they're some of my favorite (non-piano) trio records:

This isn't what you might expect from these three musicians.

 

EDIT:
One more!
