The "I didn't know that one" PIANO TRIO mega-thread

Wow, it took scrolling to posts in the 70’s to find The Bad Plus Mentioned! Many albums, highly recommended.

Any King Crimson Fans? They have two volumes.

Don’t forget that my post with the Bad Plus also mentioned, for the first time on this great thread, E.S.T., another amazing piano trio with lots of great recordings. Unfortunately the trio’s leader, Esbjorn Svensson, died at the young age of 44 while scuba diving. At the time The Bad Plus were formed they were considered America’s answer to E.S.T., who were getting a lot of attention in the jazz press.

Thanks for the tip. I added the five tracks available on Tidal/Qobuz to my queue for tonight. They are from Russian Rock Legends Vol. 4. :thinking:

My mistake. I searched E.S.T. and that Russian Rock anthology came up but not the group you posted. Odd. I did get a bunch under the pianist’s name. Anyway, take 2 with some Jazz E.S.T. in my queue for tonight!

I found the album ‘MISTY for direct cutting’ in DSD256 for legal purchase on ototoy.jp
山本剛 / MISTY for Direct Cutting - OTOTOY
ototoy seems a good source for japanese content. e-Onkyo seems to only allow purchases with a japanese IP address and a japanese credit card
Rudi

Now all I need is DSD256 capability on the Rossini
:grinning:

EDIT: I have downloaded my purchase and am listening to the album now. It sounds to me like the piano is out of tune - pity.
