I've embarked on a project to put all my cds into plastic sleeves and in
the process of course I'm going thru my collection one discset at a time.
Today I did the "Jones" section, and I'm astonished at how many great
Joneses there have been: Elvin, Thad, Hank, Etta, Papa Jo, Philly Jo,
Sam, Eddie, and others. But I was particularly struck with just how many
discs I have by Hank Jones that are simply marvelous. Here's a few of my
favorites: "Bop Redux", on Muse; "The Essence" on DMP; "In Japan" on All
Art; "Live at Maybeck" on Concord. There are others, only very slightly
less stellar. And, it seems that many of Hank's best feature the great
George Duvivier on bass. I can particularly recommend "In Japan", but
you likely can't find it. If you do, snag it.
Also of particular note in the "Jones" section of my collection is Etta
Jones' "Don't Go to Strangers" which is, quite simply, one of the best
female vocal jazz albums ever, and Papa Jo Jones' "The Main Man" which
features him (naturally) and a great group of Norman Granz' regulars of
the 70s.
