Hey all,

I was just wondering if you could recommend me some organ-based power trios, as I've been really digging that whole sound (been a fan of ELP for awhile and now getting pretty heavily into Egg) as of late.

Thanks!

Possibly the current best, Elephant9:







They have two albums out, check 'em!

Get the DVD
 
Par Lindh Project Live in Poland 
 
Is a spectacular performance with:
 
- Pär Lindh / Keyboards
- William Kopecky / Bass
- Svetlan Råket / Drums
 
A classical Power trio with a fantastic songlist:
 
1. Night on Bare Mountain (incl. The Black Stone)
2. Baroque Impression
3. Mundus / Veni Vidi Vici Medley
4. Suite in Progress
5. Montagues & Capulet
6. Bill's Solo
7. Gradus ad Parnassum
 
Remember that Par made most of his career as classical organist.
 

 
Iván

the ones that come to mind for me are the following-

Quatermass  (UK)

Triumvirat  (Germany)

Triade
The Trip
Latte e Miele
Le Orme         (all of these are Italian)

i find all of the above have created music better than ELP or Egg (both of whom i like very much as well though)

Here are two more recent recordings with my favourite classic organ lead symphonic band, Collegium Musicum:





Check out their 70s album, they're great. Somewhat similar to ELP but much more classically inspired. They had a guitarist but they were definitely an organ lead band.

You should really try Niacin
Really don't mind if you sit this one out.

Par Lindh is a great shout by Ivan.
Also don't miss out on both of Refugee's releases:

Yikes, you are right I forgot Refugee, an outstanding performance of The Nice with Patrick Moraz,  who captures the spirit of Emerson without cloning him:
 
 
Sadly no stage videos on Youtube.
 
Good call Richardh

I was going to say MM&W, but Alex said it already.

I even wrote their biography for this site.
They're pretty awesome.

Atomic Rooster's second album, Death Walks Behind You, is a fantastic heavy organ-based power trio album:

I love this thread..

Even though their name is Soundchaser, they don't sound like Yes at all. Take some of the atmospheres of Magma's live album Hhai and the format of Egg and you have these guys. Their album is out of print, though.


Egg/Soft Machine sound-alike The Battleship Ethel. They don't have any releases yet but they sound very promising.


A short-lived Belgian band Arkham. This is what would happen if Mike Ratledge was an H.P. Lovecraft fanatic.

Another great band with Patrick Moraz is Mainhorse, which i think was formed just before Refugee, and had only one self titled album with some great organ

Here and there, Jimmy Smith's jazz trio. Check out "J.O.S." on "The Sermon'.

 ^ Smith is a must

also the staggeringly rare Cannabis India, a German trio thought of as 'krautrock' but much more of an ELP-type band (even more than ELP was), album SWF Sessions 1973  ..and Canadians ExCubus of course (though they had a fourth member on guitar at times)
