I have three main types of music I like: rock/metal guitar bands, synthy pop, jazz piano trios.
My favourite piano trio is/was The Neil Cowley Trio but he's gone solo now and is now largely dull as whatnot. I really like Hiromi too but she can get a bit samey.
GoGo Penguin have mostly filled the gap for a few years but a new bunch have recently been delighting me:
fox capture plan - Japanese, very prolific, energetic, fresh modern takes on the jazzy piano format.

Fox capture plan is great!
I saw an ad post in Instagram from this UK trio Fraktions this week and it was love at first listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNEXu_H2nks
There's also Shai Maestro Trio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7M4CvH7Rf0A
and Esbjörn Svensson Trio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5L7j6qImrlM

He was mentioned already, but I have to do it again. This amazing player passed away after a diving accident. He was an innovator in my opinion.

Hiromi Uehara's trio (note: I'm referring to the Hiromi-Simon Phillips-Anthony Jackson lineup only, not earlier ones.) is my favourite piano trio to date (and possibly of all time). So precise.

Loving Fraktions. Thanks! Will check Shai Maestro.
I have EST CD somewhere. I need to dig more into them.Hiromi Uehara's trio (note: I'm referring to the Hiromi-Simon Phillips-Anthony Jackson lineup only, not earlier ones.) is my favourite piano trio to date (and possibly of all time). So precise.
I loved Spiral and Time Control and liked Spark. She is super precise. Would love to see her live.

I have seen her live (solo mind you). It was one of my alltime favourite concerts I attended to date (and I've seen a lot and I'm extremely hard to impress.)
-
Awesome. I'm properly jealous. She's played Ronnie Scott's in London a few times iirc but the kids were pretty young at that point or for whatever reason, I didn't get to go. Wonder when there will be concerts again....
-
Digging "Activating Infinity" by The Bad Plus right now. There's more drum fill on that first track than a whole Mastodon record! :lol
-
ah yes, The Bad Plus are interesting too. Far looser than Hiromi's second trio though :D (they do have great ideas though, admittedly)
-
I really like Hiromi's stuff (any iteration) and the Bad Plus.
-
oh another one worth mentioning: Esbjörn Svensson's trio (real trailblazers IMHO, as Hiromi's trio and The Bad Plus)
-
I talked about Shai Maestro last week and was gladly surprised when I saw that they put out a new album today: https://open.spotify.com/album/5lmVJX32hZzCHAf3uYVifn

Nice. Also listened to his last one you recommend and really enjoyed it.
-
Michel Camilo Trio, whatever constellation is always superb.
-
I like the Florestan Trio on Hyperion Records. Brilliant players. They only recorded classical works, though. ;D
You can sample their Beethoven piano trios here, for example:

Surely, Paul Bley belongs in this thread.
Paul Bley - With Gary Peacock
Paul Bley - Ballads
Two very fine late 60s jazz albums, even though they were released in the 70s.
-
oh another one worth mentioning: Esbjörn Svensson's trio (real trailblazers IMHO, as Hiromi's trio and The Bad Plus)
Has been talked about, but you're right, he deserves to be mentioned numerous times :metal
-
Don't know what happened to them, as they didn't put out an album, but GEM released three videos and they're :metal :metal :metal
It's a piano trio consisting of Eldar Djangirov, Henrik Linder (Dirty Looops) and Matt Garstka (Animals as Leaders) :eek

This too! I've been listening to the Hiromi trio project a lot the last few days, love the chemistry between the three of them.
I specially love this performance of "Move" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rxYw7Y45Eo
EDIT: Btw, this thread reminded me of this pic:
