[@emojay1980]

Stu Martin! This was terrific. I'd love to see and hear more. Thank you for sharing this great footage.

[@jimmcgonigal]

This is why I've loved RUclips over the years.

[@axelazaryan]

Me too!!

Great to see footage of The Trio from this period… Thanks again Jay!

[@mattopeters]

in 1968 I saw Stu Martin for the first time. He's one reason for me to play Drums. Thanks for the Video

I remember seeing young Surman in various forms of the Westbrook sextet. He was one of the best saxophonists in the band.

[@davidorr484]

And in Marching Song and his own How Many Clouds.. brilliant

[@lellocolombo7163]

Fantastic! Barre, my teacher around improvised music! How many stages!

[@sewolawen73]

Stu Martin was a BEAST! THANK YOU for this rare find. The white Trio album is one of my desert isle albums along with Mountainscapes (same trio with Barre Phillips as the leader)

Oh yes!!!
And "Green Walnut" is the killer!

[@tonyfreejazz20]

FANTASTIC!!!

[@jamesharvey8835]

So happy to see my mentor, Stu Martin, shredding in the way that only he could. I miss him so much.

[@westcoastpaeb]

Thanks

"Extrapolation" with Surman and John McLaughlin is one of my favorite albums

[@AUS_AKTUELLEM_ANLASS]

Sooo great - my favorite trio of all times.
From 29 - 35 = "Green Walnut", their killer track from their first album.

[@deoclicianookssipinvieira5858]

Lovely!

[@davidorr484]

Remember the double album way back - got the cd now

[@ericschultz6539]

This isn't the "John Surman Trio" - it's a collectively led group known as "The Trio"…

[@alsand2433]

Great band!!

[@Merstheman]

WOOOOOOOWWWWW

Jay rules 🥇

[@klaus8456]

Wow, did not know this man, but he has some serious soprano playing.

[@alexandrecordeiro4957]

Same thing with me, I heard his name less than a week ago, scrolling through the jazz channels on line. There are so many great jazz musicians, with so little exposure, it's a shame!

Couldnt agree more, such a shame...
