Some more modern jazz piano trios

Since discovering Christian Pabst several years ago, I've been slowly expanding my catalog of good contemporary jazz piano trios. Among these include the absolutely fantastic Triosence and the equally melodious Yuko Mabuchi Trio. An older artist still putting out immaculately played and recorded albums is Steve Kuhn and his trio.

Any other suggestions?

Keith Jarrett’s Standard Trio is one of the benchmarks for me. 
Bill Evans trios with Scott LaFaro and post-LaFaro - another benchmark 

Other great trios:

Shai Maestro

Bill Charlap

Tord Gustavsen

Carla Bley

Marcin Wasilewski

Brad Mehldau

I’m also a fan of Brad Mehldau and I like Yuko Mabuchi too.

Kjetil Mulelid Trio ("scandawegian" jazz trios are a fave)...and hundreds of others...I'm also Mehldau fan, I've run sound for Charlap a few times (lucky me)...Vijay Iyer is astonishing, Tyshawn Sorey (plays with Vijay often) has a killer piano trio album out sort of recently...I'm a piano trio freak.
