The Big 3 is an album by vibraphonist Milt Jackson, guitarist Joe Pass and bassist Ray Brown recorded in 1975 and released on the Pablo label.[1]

Reception[edit]

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 5 stars stating "These three masterful players recorded together in many settings during the Pablo years, but only this once as a trio. The colorful repertoire acts as a device for the musicians to construct some brilliant bop-based solos".[2]
