"Sax Trios have long been an engaging and explorative vehicle for bassists. Think the freedom of Wilbur Ware on "A Night at the Village Vanguard", Oscar Pettiford on "Freedom Suite", or Ray Brown on "Way Out West"...yeah, we love Sonny Rollins! In this episode Bob and Reuben share and rap about some of their favorite Sax Trios 'situations'. Larry Grenadier, Henry Grimes, Pablo Menares, Dave Holland, and Kiyoshi Kitagawa are featured in this 1st of a 2-part series." Here's a bonus Spotify Playlist with some of our favorite Sax Trios.
