Double Trios is a 1986 album by jazz pianist McCoy Tyner released on the Denon label. It features performances by Tyner supported by bassist Avery Sharpe and drummer Louis Hayes or bass guitarist Marcus Miller and drummer Jeff "Tain" Watts along with percussionist Steve Thornton. The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states "it is particularly interesting to hear the pianist's reworkings of "Lil' Darlin'," "Satin Doll", "Lover Man" and Thelonious Monk's "Rhythm-A-Ning," transforming them into modal masterpieces".[2]
