Description

"Pianist Hank Jones, born July 31, 1918 in Vicksburg, Mississippi, is a member of the famous jazz family that includes cornetist and esteemed composer Thad Jones and drummer Elvin Jones. Hank, the eldest and sole surviving brother, has served as a pianist in a vast array of settings, always lending a distinctive, swinging sensibility to the sessions. Although born in Mississippi, Jones grew up in Pontiac, Michigan, listening to such performers as Earl Hines, Fats Waller, and Art Tatum. A performer by the time he was thirteen, Jones played with territory bands that toured Michigan and Ohio. In one such band he met saxophonist Lucky Thompson, who got him a job in the Hot Lips Page band in 1944, prompting Jones' move to New York." -Yoshi's
