Last Recording - Hank Jones

Introduction

In Memoriam!!! The final memorial album for Jazz Giants' "Hank Jones"!!! This is the latest and final album from the Great Jazz Trio, led by the jazz world's oldest active pianist, Hank Jones! His increasingly radiant and powerful performance just before his death is truly miraculous! This much-anticipated album features Roy Hargrove, a popular contemporary jazz trumpeter who joined the trio on the final day of their Blue Note concert in Tokyo, and suddenly joined the recording. The powerful trio includes 26-year-old bassist David Wong, a beloved protégé of Ron Carter, and drummer Lee Pearson, who has performed with Duke Ellington and other orchestras, as well as promising tenor Raymond McMaurin, who has also performed with Horace Silver. The album also features a piano solo by Hank Jones, making it a truly satisfying and rewarding memorial album.

Review

This is the final album by the Great Jazz Trio, led by pianist Hank Jones, who passed away on May 16, 2010, at the age of 91. Trumpeter Roy Hargrove, who made a surprise appearance on the final day of the Tokyo Blue Note concert, joined the recording at short notice. Enjoy his sharp playing just before his death. (C)RS
