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! -------------

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. |

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. ------------- Les mains, les pieds balancés Sur tant de mers, tant de planchers, Un marin mort, Il dormira - Paul Éluard |

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. |

| 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) |

Joey De Francesco with Elvin Jones and John McLaughlin on the album 'after the rain' The following artists dind't play in a trio but who cares as long as their music is good : Reuben Wilson Charles Earland (black talk! is excellent) Rhoda Scott Bernie Worrell (Funkadelic, Praxis) the stoner/prog band Titan (not to be confused with the hardcore band, excellent as well) Instrumental funk bands : Booker T & The MG's, Speedometer, Lefties Soul Connection ------------- "Magma was the very first gothic rock band" (Didier Lockwood) |

A power trio which is currently touring is the Barbara Dennerlein trio with Barbara Dennerlein on Hammond B3 (including her famous pedal bass which she plays simultaneously while playing all the manual stuf),, Fabioano Pereira on guitar and Marcel Gutske on drums. ------------- BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |
