The Trio (Ted Curson album)

The Trio is an album by jazz trumpeter Ted Curson, recorded in 1961 and released on the Old Town label in 1964. The album features Curson with bassist Henry Grimes and drummer Roy Haynes. It is notable for its sparse instrumentation, showcasing Curson's trumpet playing in a trio setting, allowing for greater improvisational freedom and interplay between the musicians. The album is considered a significant, albeit somewhat overlooked, entry in Curson's discography and a valuable example of early 1960s avant-garde jazz.
