Brad Mehldau lost something irreplaceable when Jorge left. I've seen the modern incarnation of the trio with Jeff Ballard, and Ballard's playing, whilst interesting, just doesn't come close.
+Adam D I don't want to start an argument but for me it's the other way round. I've found a lot of Jorge's playing to be very monotonous and far too dominated by the ride cymbal, I don't mind that style though, one of my favourite drummers is Tony Williams. I like Jeff Ballard more because his playing utilises all of his instrument but maybe I'm missing something in Jorge's approach as a pianist I focus primarily on what Brad is doing. With all that said I love Jorge's solo at the start here, that is what great jazz is about, the spirit of the moment.
***** Yeah, I see what you mean actually, I've been listening to the Live album with Brad's new trio and while Jeff's playing is tight and does some great solos, Jorge did have a greater connection with Brad and Larry's music.
Ballard is boring as fuck to listen to, ultra clean, tidy, perfect, antiseptic, bereft of swing Jorge was wild, unpredictable, earthy, swingin as all hell Thats the difference
Has anyone found the full concert? It looks like it's from a broadcast of the North Sea Jazz Festival and judging by Brad's past tours this looks like it would be July 11 1997 however I can't find any video of the full concert.
Fantastic. Comparing this with the album recording it has so many new ingredients. Loved the way Brad held everything up this time and then let go with so much fire. Great trio. And maybe the answer to the old/new trio question is drug-related.
Buen Jazz, de lo mejor. Solamente un problema de producción - grabación, los platillos de la batería deberían bajar a -3 db, como mínimo, en la tabla mezcladora. El problema es el posicionamiento de los micrófonos para instrumentos en la batería. Porque realmente el profesional que toca la batería es buenísimo, excelente. Es un problema del técnico de sonido, con ello quiero evitar malinterpretaciones. Por lo demás perfecto y genial, músicos de primera. Todos los días escucho este gran tema musical.

It’s hard to overstate how exciting this trio was during the late 90s early 00s era.
amen to that
I loved how Rossy picks up the dropped drumstick without pausing the performance. That's a pro!
Jorge Rossy is the key of the trio...!!! Fucking awesome!!!
one of the most underrated drummers in jazz the last 30 years
Man they just love rossys playing so much
Amazing Brad solo! AMAZING!
That's my favorite trio aside of Keith Jarrett .
That drummer Rossi was so great , so innovative .
yea he just forced them to always give thier best, the newer trio can get unfocused every once in a while
....you should see Jorge's new trio.....with Jorge on VIBES !!
Brad's face at 1:46.

+Adam D Fully agree. Jorge was pure creativity. Great technique too...but who cares ? The trio lost a whole dimension when he left.

Agreed. It's such a perfect sound. I love Jeff Ballard, but think this is the best Trio era.

Pretty far out and deeply grooving!

Have you found it?
Unreal

Pretty sure he was getting off drugs around the time of this recording.
Also, great description of his solo arc. He did hold so much back, that’s what I love about his improvising. He knows how to tell a good story.
The Boss
still love it!!
hot damn!

What year was this clip recorded?
what year is this
Funeral music 3000
1:46 WTF!?
Roughly 292bpm.
The microphone on that floor tom is a little too hot, I think.
Without war, politics/deception, exploitation this music would never have happened.
BaLLARD?
Great players. Terrible music.
still love it!!
