JAZZ 1959 Tributes to Sidemen
HANK JONES の1959年 [41歳]
(Henry Jones / 1918-07-31 MS, USA / 2010-05-16 NY, USA, aged 91)
Hank Jones is one of the leading pianists in the jazz world, loved by many musicians. The eldest of the Jones brothers, he also lived the longest. In Japan, he became a celebrity due to his performance of 'Yarumonda! (You did it!)' in the TV commercial.

Though he did not have a leader album in 1959, he participated in some extremely important recording sessions.

In January, he joined 'BAGS & TRANE', a collaboration between John Coltrane, who had just signed with Atlantic, and Milt Jackson, a major figure in the jazz vibes world and a core member of MJQ.

In July, he participated in the Verve recording of the 'Ray Brown Trio' for the Columbia Records compilation album 'The Playboy Jazz All Stars, vol.3'. His co-performers Ray Brown and Ed Thigpen were members of the standing trio 'Oscar Peterson Trio' at the time, so it was surprising that Hank Jones took on the role of the pianist for one song (Mighty Cool Penthouse, Ray Brown). It might have been difficult for leader Ray Brown to ask Oscar Peterson, or Oscar Peterson might have been busy preparing for the extensive 'Oscar Peterson Trio' series of recordings that would start a few days later at Universal Recording in Chicago.

One event that symbolizes 1959 is his piano accompaniment in Bille Holiday's album 'Last Recording' recorded in March, before her death in July.
He served as the accompanist for many singers including Billie Holiday, Ruth Brown, Irene Kral, Barbara Long, and Chris Connor. His skill as a pianist supporting vocalists is clearly evidenced.

Hank Jones reminds me of 'The Great Jazz Trio' live at Village Vanguard in 1977. I still treasure the two albums that record tense sessions with the talented bassist Ron Carter and up-and-coming drummer Tony Williams.
