Hank Jones,Piano/George Mraz, Bass/Dennis Mackrel,Drums
Personnel: Hank Jones (piano); George Mraz (bass instrument); Dennis Mackrel (drums).
Grand jazz master pianist and octogenarian Hank Jones is accompanied here by bassist George Mraz and drummer Dennis Mackrel. The program is a collection of jazz and pop standards that Jones has undoubtedly played countless times before, and it matters not a whit. His sense of refinement, elegance, and swing saturates the proceedings. Whether it's on the graceful cover of Al Foster's "Paulette" with its elongated spaces or on an uptown version of Monk's "Bemsha Swing," Jones is a supreme melodist. His readings of Ellington and Strayhorn here are beyond reverential and are journeys of subtle harmonic discovery (check out "Lotus Blossom"). The reading of Harold Mabern, Jr.'s "Grace of God (There but for the Grace of God)" is simply glorious. In a career full of winners, add this one to the list. ~ Thom Jurek
JazzTimes (p.67) - "[H]e maintains a trim sense of swing - with a soft-shoe rhythmic kick reminiscent of Teddy Wilson, his early influence. The performances are tasty."

Daptone Records has built a name releasing vintage-sounding R&B created by contemporary artists. But Bob and Gene's IF THIS WORLD WERE MINE flips the paradigm: the recordings, made in the late 1960s and early '70s, are vintage, but are being released for the first time in 2007. Only teenagers when they made these homemade demos, Bob Nunn and Gene Coplin deliver the kind of harmonies familiar to fans of the Five Stairsteps and the Jackson 5. In high, emotive voices the two sing about love and social change, among other topics, but it's the overall sound--a sort of underground, lo-fi R&B--that will capture the imagination of soul collectors.
Though the songs that ended up on Buffalo, NY-based soul duo Bob & Gene's debut full-length, If This World Were Mine... spent 30 years collecting dust on the shelves in William Nunn's (Bobby Nunn's father) basement, there's an energy and spirit to them that makes them as relevant as any other 21st century else release. The youthfulness -- though not immaturity -- of Bobby Nunn and Eugene Coplin's voices comes through clearly in the relatively lo-fi sound of ...
| | Jennifer Hall Jennfier Hall Meets... CD (2007)
For My Father
$13.25
"Jennifer Hall's tribute to Gerry Mulligan brings ten west coast jazz veterans together for a celebration that explores Mulligan's music as well as his legacy. Jennifer played baritone saxophone with Jack Sheldon's big band and Ann Patterson's Maiden Voyage, but prefers a quintet format in this intimate session." - Sea Breeze Jazz "Ive heard a number of tributes to the late great Gerry Mulligan, none warmer or more persuasive than this. Jennifer Hall, a superb baritone saxophonist whose abiding respect for Mulligan is evident in every note she plays, has assembled an all-star group of West Coast musicians for a heartfelt remembrance that scans eleven of Mulligan's memorable compositions and another, "Bernie's Tune," that was a hallmark of Mulligan and trumpeter Chet Baker's pianoless quartet in the early '50s." - Jack Bowers, All About Jazz.com"Hall is a solid player with a lovely tone and an incessant swing feel. The cats that she shares the spotlight with are all first rate. The tracks with Saunders, "Elevation" and "Line for Lyons," and Whitfield, "Festive Minor" and "Rocker (Rock Salt)," are the cream of a very fertile crop. Also to be cherished is the Sheldon vocal on "Summer's Over." He is one of those jazz musicians who can parlay a voice that sounds far from classic ...
