John Taylor/Germany 2000

The trio formed by ECM label’s leading pianist and composer John Taylor with Mark Johnson and Joey Baron performed in Bielefeld, Germany on May 21st from their 2000 European tour. A live performance of a beautiful piano trio recorded on broadcast sound source with satisfactory high sound quality has been released. In a quiet space, the trio’s performance, which plays straight jazz naturally, gives you a rich lyricism that cannot be experienced in studio recordings. The drummer, Joey Baron, who is popular in Japan, and the bassist, Mark Johnson, have also produced albums and are well-regarded for their harmonious playing. This time too, he never takes the lead role, instead focusing on playing Kuroko, supporting John Taylor on the piano. If you like piano trios, please listen to the best jazz that we recommend.
