Trio Beyond is an avant-jazz fusion organ trio, formed in 2003.

The trio was formed in 2003 by drummer Jack DeJohnette as a way of paying tribute to the importance of fellow drummer Tony Williams.[1] Guitarist John Scofield and Larry Goldings, on electric piano, Hammond B-3 organ and sampling, joined.[1] Goldings had been asked by Williams to join an organ trio in 1997, but the drummer died before the band could be formed.[2]

A concert from the Queen Elizabeth Hall at the 2004 London Jazz Festival was released in 2006 as Saudades.[1] The material was from Williams's Lifetime band.[2] Trio Beyond toured Europe in 2006.[3][4]

In 2007, Scofield/Goldings/DeJohnette's Trio Beyond - Saudades (ECM) was recognized with a Best Instrumental Jazz Album Grammy nomination for their searing live recording at London's Queen Elizabeth Hall.
