About Hank Jones
Along with his brothers Thad (trumpet) and Elvin (drums), pianist Hank Jones has been an important figure in jazz throughout the modern era. Jones moved from the Midwest to New York City in the mid-1940s, and began to develop the elegant, masterly piano style for which he is known. He has played on significant dates and recordings with Ella Fitzgerald and Charlie Parker, among other iconic figures. He also worked as the house pianist for the Savoy label and from 1959 through 1975 was the staff pianist for CBS studios. Jones continued to record and perform prolifically both as a leader, a sideman, and in collaborative ensembles (such as the Great Jazz Trio) well into the 2000s .
