July 30, 2009:
Hank Jones is one of the truly great jazz pianists. These trio recordings from the '50s provide a generous taste of the swinging style and accessible improvisation that continued to evolve over a long and distinguished career. Listening to these recordings along with his latest efforts, I have the feeling that the composers would enjoy the respect and affection that Hank Jones always shows for their music, while he and his colleagues turn it into something uniquely their own.
