Hank Jones

~ Person

Annotation

Born in Vicksburg, Mississippi, USA, Mr Henry "Hank" Jones is one of the true living jazz legends.
If not revolutionary, his extensive and prolific career makes him one of the most recorded pianist, including a number of legendary sessions, either as a high quality sideman, or under his own name.
Newcomers may start with either the early Savoy Bluebird, or the late Verve duo with Abbey Lincoln, When There's Love.
