Hello.  Looking for some heavy Piano and Bass usage jazz. Any sub-genre that fits this generic aspect is welcome. Especially Avant - influenced. Thanks. |

| I think that I can listen to an initial work of ECM though I am not a specialist of complete AG Jazz. Performance of Paul Bley and Barre Phillips. Or, "Free at Last" of Mal Waldron is heavy piano and bass. |

Hey Horizons! Perhaps Bill Evans in a trio setting, piano, drums and bass. My fav of his is 'Everybody Digs Bill Evans' which was recorded just before he did Kind of Blue with Davis, so it's more of a cool sound with some harder bop and not avant, so it might not be quite what you're after. I'll keep working on a suggestion (and i bet someone else here will come through for you while I'm still thinking!) EDIT: Like Kazuhiro!  ------------- We are men of action.

Thanks for the suggestions! Roberts, that was a great suggestion. The song Minority captured my attention instantly. Perfect.  Do you know anything like this but more upbeat? |

All piano trios pretty much. By definitiion, bass and piano are 2/3 of the ensemble. |

| Oscar Peterson, although his work is not avant, is much more bop. Nevertheless, he had a great bass player, I can't remember his last name, but the first was Niels |

My pleasure! Will keep thinking. Perhaps Hiromi Uehara? Though you might know her from PA? ------------- We are men of action. Lies do not become us. http://www.jazzmusicarchives.com/dreadpirateroberts%28member%29.aspx?reviews=all/" rel="nofollow - Reviews... |

Hi,
Not sure I should not be adding anything that has Chick Corea and Stanley Clarke ... and some of those pieces are not only heavy, but quite weightless ... ------------- ... And then one day, the prophet said that you and I would know what is art ... and real! |

Anything by Esbjörn Svensson Trio. You won't go wrong with Tuesday Wonderland, Live in Hamburg or Viaticum. ------------- 
That's Kenny G with Miles Davis on my avatar, by the way. |

A couple more! You'd probably know it already - but maybe Emergency by Tony Williams, featuring Larry Young and John McLaughlin. Fairly aggressive but not drums, piano and bass of course, organ drums & guitar Also these guys have some ace albums: http://www.jazzmusicarchives.com/medeski-martin-and-wood.aspx?ac=Medeski%20Martin" rel="nofollow - http://www.jazzmusicarchives.com/medeski-martin-and-wood.aspx?ac=Medeski%20Martin or Brad Mehldau maybe, who I only recently came across http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qR8iiDEF4ek" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qR8iiDEF4ek does some interesting covers too Ashley ------------- We are men of action.

try this one ------------- I think the problem with a lot of the fusion music is that it's extremely predictable, it's a rock rhythm and the solos all play the same stuff and they play it over and over again ... Ken Burns |
