 NPR's Jazz Profiles: Hank Jones
Jones' earliest influence was pianist Fats Waller (left), who played in the bouncy ragtime stride piano style.
During junior high school, Jones used to listen to Fats Waller records on the radio before he left for school and Waller's insistent melodies and driving beat had Jones dancing all the way to class.
Actively encouraged to play music by their parents were oldest son Hank, his younger brother, cornetist band leader, composer and arranger Thad Jones, and the baby of the family, drummer Elvin Jones, the poly rhythmic force behind John Coltrane's classic quartet.

 Jazz Canadiana - Picks
This is the ultimate tribute album to a pianist (Hank Jones) whose own albums remain…."a virtual encyclopedia of jazz piano" and whose playing is still "utterly contemporary" despite his reputation as "one of the essential pillars of modern jazz piano".
But it is the duets (2 each) with Kenny Barron, Chick Corea, Benny Green and Mulgrew Miller that highlight the music of Hank Jones, as each performer brings his own chosen interpretations of personal selections in free improvisation with Keezer.
All compositions are Hank's originals with the exception of "Favors", a number that had become a kind of signature tune for him over the years.

HANK JONES: It is. It is quite different than any other mode of playing, whether it is a big band or small band.
Give me your thoughts on the music of Thad Jones.
They are pretty difficult to play so many high school bands can't play them, but college bands love these things.

 Hank Jones - biography - english - Hopper Management
Hank's music is in great demand as the years go by, and he does an average of 70 concerts a year overseas, mostly in Japan and Europe, on top of his busy agenda at home.
By the age of 13, Jones was already perfoming with territory bands, and by 1944 he moved to New York under the recommendation of Lucky Thompson, to join the band of Hot Lips Page, with whom he made his first recordings for the Continental label.
During this period Hank also made several recordings for Norman Granz's various labels, including historical sessions with Charlie Parker or Lester Young.

Lonnie Plaxico's musicianship is probably best expressed in his masterful integration of different forms --combining the rigorous technique of classical, the improvisation of jazz, and the rawness of funk into one exhilarating musical experience.
