Trio Beyond

Last updated

Trio Beyond is a jazz organ trio that played a range of styles including avant-jazz fusion and hard bop, formed in 2003.

The trio was formed in 2003 by drummer Jack DeJohnette as a way of paying tribute to the importance of fellow drummer Tony Williams. [1] Guitarist John Scofield and Larry Goldings, on electric piano, Hammond B-3 organ and sampling, joined. [1] Goldings had been asked by Williams to join an organ trio in 1997, but the drummer died before the band could be formed. [2]

A concert from the Queen Elizabeth Hall at the 2004 London Jazz Festival was released in 2006 as Saudades . [1] The material was from a variety of bands and sources, including Williams's Lifetime band, Miles Davis' recordings with Williams from 1963 to 1967, Larry Young's Unity album, and originals by the Trio Beyond band members. [2] Trio Beyond toured Europe in 2006. [3] [4]

In 2007, Scofield/Goldings/DeJohnette's Trio Beyond - Saudades (ECM) was recognized with a Best Instrumental Jazz Album Grammy nomination for their searing live recording at London's Queen Elizabeth Hall.
