The 2008 disc from the DKV Trio Past & Present 7 CD box is spectacular 

as good as Vandermark has sounded with the trio - they play a suite of music based on Don Cherry compositions. Even better than the great Trigonometry 2 CD set from 2001. Plus Hamid explodes out of the speakers and Cherry’s tunes are right in his swinging/grooving wheelhouse.

bass / trumpet (and flugelhorn) / guitar (electric & acoustic) -- so a bit atypical -- but I sure like this one...

Among others but the 2 drummerless trios on ECM with Joe Maneri, Mat Maneri & Barre Phillips are amazing (note that Joe plays a bit of piano on a few tracks in place of his alto & tenor saxophone or his amazing clarinet).

Angles of Repose

After all these ears I’ve become way more open to these sessions without my guy Randy Peterson on drums. 

I still believe the recordings with Peterson are even more incredible / especially the Hat ARTs & the above 2 CD trio set on Leo. That trio set also has quite a bit of Papa Joe on piano fwiw. As time has moved on from his passing and it will be ten years in August and well over that amount of time since he played or recorded - the last concerts were in 2005 (farewell shows that I was not able to attend - where are the release of these recordings?!?!?) and the last released recordings are from 2002 - his music is gaining even more depth & uniqueness, in my view.

still his muse was an off beat or even an eccentric one but his originality and singular voice can never be questioned.

 

 

 

still......
