5.0 out of 5 stars Hank Jones, you know what to expect, November 23, 2009

This review is from: Pleased to Meet You (Audio CD)

Another release from jazz patriarch Hank Jones, and my comments will be a lot a lot like last time. Not an album of wild experimentation, but straight ahead jazz done with the skill, passion and wit that only Hank has. This time he's joined by fellow pianist Oliver joins, for the first three tracks in a double piano quartet form, tracks 4-8 and 10 as a piano duet, and the two remaining songs as Hank solos. The album is a pleasure throughout, mostly lighthearted and fun (with the exception of the last track), which is all that can be expected from someone of Hank's caliber. For my part, I prefer the duets to the quartet pieces, but that cant be taken as anything more than my peculiar preference since, while perhaps being unspectacular in the shadow of the pianists, the rhythm section does perfectly well for itself.
