Introduction	After sending various recommendation emails to my friends around the world who also love jazz piano trios I've decided to join the vanity publishing sector and start a blog. I'm totally addicted to piano trios - I don't know why - maybe it's because the first jazz record I ever bought when I was 15 was a piano trio recording - Duke Jordan's Two Loves (Steeplechase 1973) - the smell, look and feel of that gloss black cover changed my life forever even before I'd left the shop (Ray's in London in 1978) and then when I finally spun the vinyl I was totally hooked. Actually I have quite a narrow piano trio taste that starts at Bill Evans and now meanders through Europe and the Americas taking in most of what's going on up to the edge of the avant garde (is that term still used??). I can tolerate some electronics but I have to say I'm quite an acoustic purist. The addiction is real I think - I'm driven to buy the music to get an even better hit than the last purchase but in the world of the itunes 30 second preview and my other obsession of checking out the album's on-line reviews before clicking the one click buy button, you can probably say it's not that bad and even quite informed.
