    Hi, can you suggest some trios with guitar, bass, drums that I can play along with on Hammond? It would be helpful if the tunes are bluez or common standards. Sax, guitar, bass, drums is another possibility.

    Get Me Joe Beck is the name of an album by a terrific guitar trio, playing standards.

    It was a pickup band, put together for a two night gig. Apparently, the first night was so good they recorded the next night.

    So, you can hear what a truly terrific trio can concoct out of RB type tunes without much, if any, rehearsal.

    The drummer, David Rokeach, has an impressive resume, including Ray Charles.

    The bassist is a local pro, Peter Barshay. Teaches at the Jazz Conservatory.

    Joe Beck was a truly great player.

    Grant Green's "Green Street" and "Standards" albums would be perfect.

    Don’t know if sax,bass,drums would fit the bill, but if so, Sonny Rollins - A Night at the Village Vanguard, and Lee Konitz - Motion are good for comping along to.

    Thanks for the good suggestions. I had forgotten how much I like Paul Desmond. I was dozing off last night because the bossa album was so relaxing. Grant Green Standards and Barney Kessel Poll Winners ended up working pretty well. Nice and straight ahead and workable tempos. Sax does work. I'm just playing the tunes on my laptop so the upright bass isn't very audible then I'm doing bass and comp on the Hammond. Maybe I'll be able to solo over a bass solo.

    And it works fine for the purpose as well as Grant Greene.

    Also bass+guitar duos can be good for this.
    And it is good when the guitarist plays more single-note lines like a counterpoint with bass.

    Joe Pass and Red Mitchell
    Jim Hall and Ron Carter

    Another good Jimmy Raney trio album is The Influence, with Sam Jones and Billy Higgins.

    For that, Herb Ellis and Red Mitchell, "Doggin' Around", is very good. The cover art is worth the price.

    Uh, Plectorist isn't a guitar\bass\drum trio since there is also a piano player.

    ^ I thought it was a very nice sounding album although I guess I won't play along to it. I might try playing along to the duo ones but my main goal is to improve my Hammond bass and comp time feel within the context of strict time promoted with the drummer.

    I decided to try Plectrist even though there is some piano twikling because I liked how placid the grooves are. The pitch was a little off from my instrument tho. Nice album.

    The Lee Konitz was pretty cool. I was able to play along.
