Yes, indeed. Norman Granz was the impresario behind the wonderful series 
entitled "Jazz at the Philharmonic" which toured a great deal in the late 40s 
early 50s. I still have some JATP 78s at my parent's home. His earliest trio 
(piano, bass, and electric guitar) was modeled after Nat "King" Cole's trio 
(who was an outstanding jazz pianist before he started singing so 
beautifully--but I digress).
