Nat King Cole Route 66

The Nate King Cole trio was rather unique for its day. Piano, bass, and guitar was an unorthodox trio mix for jazz. Many people thought that it would lack rhythm. However, the piano and guitar if played right, (like in this clip) keep up the percussive elements of the song. My blues trio is the same set up, and on some of our recordings it almost seems like a drum is back there. for an example check out my space page, and listen to Cheap Bourbon. It is just guitar, piano, bass, and vocal.
