This concert was held in 1996 in Kobe, Japan, where big earthquake hit in January 1995 (Great Hanshin Earthquake). The city was completely destroyed. More than 6400 people were killed and a lot people lost houses. I think this concert by Hank, Ron and other musicians soothed the hearts of Jazz fans in Kobe, as they were still trying to recover from the damages. Twenty six years have passed since then, but as one of the citizens during that time, I want to thank again those great Jazz players for coming to Kobe.
Agrreed. Completely! I had a feeling he was never going to die. That he was going to carry on running his nimble loving fingers over those keys forever. But we have some much of the wonderful playing he managed during his lifetime to enjoy. Hope he's enjoying his gig up there...
I started off doing exactly the thing -- and kept stopping work to watch the video and listen more intently. Bookmarked this video about 60 seconds in.
Two guys at the top of their game since the start, playing with full respect for each others talent and pedigree. We`re so fortunate to have these moments frozen in time to admire and be inspired. Thank you for posting

Bonjour pourquoi on A enlevées tous ces chanteurs est chanteuses mais pourquoi cette concurrence j’aime ce moment Unique Andes où je Rentée dans ma chambre pour Écouteurs toutes ces grands maisons qui fonts de l’ombre a RU-vid Merci pour ces moments rien m’obligera à écouter cette musique Google Moi Je ne peux plus jamais faire des commentaires je regrette ces heures de Bonheurs
Over 40 years ago, I've took a picture of Ron Carter who playing bass as one of the V.S.O.P. Quintet members at the Denen Coliseum in Tokyo. The other performers were, Herbie Hancock, Freddie Hubbard, Wayne Shorter, Tony Williams. I was photographer then. Just nostalgic.
I was lucky enough to live just outside of San Francisco and have seen these gentleman play as this group on more then one occasion. live music was everywhere affordable and you could sit across the table from the act that you were watching. personally I usually had a cognac of sorts ☮️
que belleza impresionante la armonia y la serenidad de estos dos jazzeros de primera linea. RON CARTER legendario contrabajista creo que no hay disco de Blue Note donde el señor no toque y del pianista ni hace falta hablar solo con nombrarlo ya se dice todo.
WOW! 👏🏽 This is so splendid. It reminds me of hearing these gentlemen in the '90s at the long gone and sorely missed Bradley's club in NYC. That was a prime piano solo/bass & piano/piano trio room back then. Such elegant creativity and dialogue between these giants.
Is it Tea for Two that Ron is quoting at 6:19 or something such like? He's finding it very amusing, he probably stumbled on the motif and surprised himself. Improvised music!
阪神淡路大震災の翌年、まだまだ街中に瓦礫が残っていた1996年12月4日に神戸国際会館ハーバーランドプラザで行われた。 この神戸国際会館って言うと神戸で行われる一流プレーヤーのコンサート会場となる神戸っ子には聴きなれた名前だけど、ここも震災で全壊していまったために、建て替えの間の暫定的な会場が今の umie の隣に造られていて、そこでこのコンサートが行われた。 この演奏中だけは、きっと皆 苦しいことや辛いことは忘れていただろう。ありがとうHank Jones & Ron Carter.
One of my favorite RU-vid finds in a long time. The first two duets with Hank and Ron are just on another level. Outstanding communication, pure entrainment.
Green Dolphin Street--one of my favorites. First heard it when Nancy Wilson sang it. She is also one of my favorite all time jazz vocalists. This version is amazing!
I had the privilege of having going to a show by the Hank Jones trio in Lisbon Portugal. Hank was walked to the piano assisted by other man, and when he put his hands on the keyboard it was magic. It looked as if the Spring of music has blossom in the first chord. Now that he passed the way and left his recorded work for us to enjoy, I'm certain that he's playing for God.
Man....legendary musicians...have to say though, not a fan of the bass tone Mr. Carter was getting back then. Very anemic sound. I guess it was a transitional period for upright bass amplification, and thus a necessary evil
I never got to see the Great Hank Jones but did see Ron Carter w/a great Vibes player whose nickname was "Bags". I had a good friend Anita Ruiz to thank for even knowing their greatness. Anita, I affectionately called "O'Day" after the great Jazz artist. Anita had 'non-electric recordings, original White Album (never known as that). So many incredible performances Anita turned me on to. RIP O'Day. Thank you for showing me the way to the Great Ones!
афроамериканский джаз - это для 20 века - достижение человечества - как полет в космос и даже больше - поскольку это достижение человеческого духа. а перед богом это лучше. afroamtrican gazz - for 20 cenchery - for the humanity - as a space flights or better - it is achievements of spirit.
Oscar Peterson and hank Jones. Fav jazz pianist. I’m not even a pianist but I remember immediately being drawn to hank because I thought he had a “soft, effortless touch”.
