Henry "Hank" Jones (July 31, 1918 May 16, 2010) was an American jazz pianist, bandleader, and composer. Critics and musicians described Jones as eloquent, lyrical, and impeccable.

Ha! Never knew Hank Jones was referred to as "Bad Henry." I have so many recording where Hank was the pianist. The master indeed. Seems like he was everywhere in the 1950's and 1960's. Cranshaw also mentions Tommy Flanagan, another master.
I first heard Bob Cranshaw with the MJT+3 in 1961 or so. A great bassist!

Hank Jones, or "Bad Henry" will be missed. But luckily we have his recordings, and our memories, to sustain us.
Thanks for posting this video.

Hank Jones will always be my hero !
I can never forget that day,after the gig,at the backstage talking to him,getting into an excellent conversation all about his family and the other jazz greats,taking lots of his autographs .. That point was I think,one of the most defining moments in my life ...
Thank you so much that,what you had made as music and as you had helped it improve and made so special ! I will always be a huge fan of your great brothers' and yours !!!
