The Dudley Moore Trio is a 1969 jazz album and the fifth LP recorded by the British jazz trio led by musician, composer, actor and comedian Dudley Moore. It was released in 1969 on Decca Records in the UK and Australia, and on London Records in the United States.
In 2015 John Lewis, writing in The Guardian, selected the track "Amalgam" as one of Moore's "10 best piano pieces" and wrote:
Moore's self-titled 1969 album was his first set of entirely original material, with bassist Jeff Clyne replacing Moore's long-time sidekick Pete McGurk (who tragically killed himself the previous year). This sprightly, morning-fresh piece of continental minimalism – reminiscent of 21st century sampladelic acts such as Koop – has been slowed down and sampled by several European hip hop acts. Another cracking track from the same LP is "Pop and Circumstance", a set of tangled, Bach-like chord changes over a rock beat.[1]
