Jarret is a good start. For a more traditional trio the best you can find is the Oscar Petterson Trio with Ray Brown on Bass and Ed Thigpen on drums. They basically were the Trio. Be carefull, early Oscar Trio had no drums but had guitar instead (Herb Ellis on guitar) but still it's pretty great. I think you'd like either group.
Jarret's standards get pretty out there a lot of the times. He's hard to handle sometimes as he sings a long with his playing a great deal louder then a lot of pianists.
Chick Corea's 'now she sings now she sobs' is one of the best albums ever recorded in Jazz, that's the same trio format
there's a few suggestions I guess.
