Hank Jones is quite charismatic, well-loved by musicians and the public alike, and i am extremely grateful for all piano performances and interviews of him on youtube. He's a superb superstar we were blessed to listen to and follow.
It was my honor to have been able to interview Hank together with my friend Stan Levey. Not long after this interview we saw him perform in concert and it was a truly marvelous and wonderful experience.
❤️ thank you for doing this for all of us! I’m grateful you saw him perform right after. He’s so grounded, kind, and a great communicator. Beautiful person and musician.
A third of Jones triumvirate from Pontiac, Michigan. Hank, Elvin, and Thad, were great influences during the Golden Age of Bop Jazz, circa 1955 to 1975. His artistic interpretation of standards with many of the titans of jazz is as remarkable today as it was when the music was created.
