=== 1995–present: Third Yes run, Steve Howe Trio, and final Asia run === [[File:Steve Howe 7045.jpg|thumb|right|Howe playing with Asia in 2006]] Howe rejoined Yes for a third time in 1995 for the recording of ''[[Keys to Ascension]]'' and ''[[Keys to Ascension 2]]'', the two double albums containing both live and studio tracks.<ref name=Bio1990s>{{cite web|title=Biography – 1990s|url=http://stevehowe.com/biography/1990s/|website=Steve Howe official website|access-date=30 November 2017|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211122102615/https://stevehowe.com/biography/1990s/|archive-date=22 November 2021}}</ref> Since ''[[Keys to Ascension]]'', Howe has appeared on all the albums recorded by Yes. Thereafter, over the following five years, the group released ''[[Open Your Eyes (Yes album)|Open Your Eyes]]'' in 1997, ''[[The Ladder (Yes album)|The Ladder]]'' in 1999 and ''[[Magnification (album)|Magnification]]'' in 2001, before going on a five-year hiatus from 2004. Following their hiatus, Yes released ''[[Fly from Here]]'' in 2011 and ''[[Heaven & Earth (Yes album)|Heaven & Earth]]'' in 2014. On 24 May 1996, Howe received an honorary doctorate in Musical Arts (DMA) from [[Five Towns College]] in [[Dix Hills, New York|Dix Hills]], New York.<ref name="Bio1990s" /> Also in 1996 he played with Asia on a song called Ginger meant for ''[[Arena (Asia album)|Arena]]'', but left off the album and released on ''[[Archiva Vol. 1]]'' later that year. He also added his guitar to two of the songs from ''[[Aura (Asia album)|Aura]]'', released in 2001. Howe's solo album ''[[Quantum Guitar]]'' features his son [[Dylan Howe|Dylan]] on drums.<ref name=Bio1990s/> In July 1999, Howe released his [[Bob Dylan]] covers album ''[[Portraits of Bob Dylan]]'' that features a variety of lead vocalists.<ref name=SH215>{{cite web|url=http://nfte.org/interviews/SH215.html|title=Conversation with Steve Howe from NftE #215|first=Mike|last=Tiano|date=12 April 1999|publisher=Notes from the Edge|access-date=8 September 2019|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200218130224/http://nfte.org/interviews/SH215.html|archive-date=18 February 2020}}</ref> This was followed by ''[[Homebrew 2]]'' (2000) as a sequel to his first. When Eagle Records suggested that Howe produce an acoustic guitar album, Howe accepted and recorded ''[[Natural Timbre]]'' (2001) which contains arrangements of three Yes tracks. He considered it a breakthrough in regard to his solo output due to the time required to write and arrange strong solos.<ref name=nfte250>{{Cite web|url=http://nfte.org/interviews/SH250.html|title=2001 interview with Steve Howe from Notes from the Edge #250|date=1 November 2001|first=Mike|last=Tiano|access-date=8 September 2019|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210929162201/http://nfte.org/interviews/SH250.html|archive-date=29 September 2021}}</ref> In 2003 Howe released ''Elements'', featuring his sons Dylan and [[Virgil Howe|Virgil]] as part of Howe's album ''Remedy''.<ref name=Bio2000s>{{cite web|title=Biography - 2000s|url=http://stevehowe.com/biography/2000s/|website=Steve Howe official website|access-date=30 November 2017|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211122122114/https://stevehowe.com/biography/2000s/|archive-date=22 November 2021}}</ref> In 2006, Howe rejoined Asia when the original line-up reunited for a 25th anniversary tour. They released ''[[Phoenix (Asia album)|Phoenix]]'' (2008), ''[[Omega (Asia album)|Omega]]'' (2010), and ''[[XXX (Asia album)|XXX]]'' (2012). In January 2013, Howe announced his decision to leave the band and concentrate on Yes and solo endeavours.<ref>{{cite news| url= https://www.newshub.co.nz/entertainment/steve-howe-quits-asia-2013011409|work=Newshub |title= Steve Howe quits Asia| date=14 January 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171206203053/http://www.newshub.co.nz/entertainment/steve-howe-quits-asia-2013011409|archive-date=6 December 2017}}</ref><ref name="HoweLeavesAsia">{{cite web |title=Steve Howe Departs From Asia |url=http://originalasia.com/steve-howe-departs-from-asia/ |website=Original Asia |date=10 January 2013 |access-date=15 September 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220407013239/https://originalasia.com/steve-howe-departs-from-asia/ |archive-date=7 April 2022 |url-status=live}}</ref> He was replaced by [[Sam Coulson]].<ref name="CoulsonReplacesHowe">{{cite web |title=ASIA Announce New Guitarist and 2013 Plans |url=https://originalasia.com/asia-announce-new-guitarist-and-2013-plans/ |website=Original Asia |access-date=15 September 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220407013252/https://originalasia.com/asia-announce-new-guitarist-and-2013-plans/ |archive-date=7 April 2022 |date=10 January 2013 |url-status=live}}</ref> In 2007, Howe founded the [[Steve Howe Trio]], a jazz band completed by his son Dylan on drums and Ross Stanley on Hammond organ. The Steve Howe Trio has released two albums: a studio album, ''[[The Haunted Melody]]'' in 2008 and a live album, ''[[Travelling (Steve Howe album)|Travelling]]'' in 2010.
