A jazz piano trio (piano, bass, drums) can embody the essence of jazz in the most condensed yet effective way possible. A jazz piano trio blends the three basic elements of music: melody, harmony, and rhythm.

In the first half of the 20th century, the piano assumed the dominant role in jazz trios, with the bass and drums providing rhythmic and harmonic accompaniment. From the 1960s on, the Bill Evans trio, the Ahmad Jamal trio, and similar groups developed a much more democratic style, with greater and greater in-the-moment interaction, with responsibility for melody, harmony and rhythm shared more equally across three musicians.

A piano trio can achieve a kind of magic: communicating the emotion and spirit of improvised music, created by six hands – three brains – one heart.
