Synopsis

Product Description

Remastered recording.

Upon Hank Jones' request, Buster Williams was asked to play acoustic bass on this particular session. (The Village Vanguard sessions where Ron Carter would reunite with Hank Jones and Tony Williams resulting in three live albums was still nine months away.)

With the delicate and natural Hank Jones and dynamic Tony Williams, the three tackle Cole Porter's "Love For Sale", Rodgers and Hart's "Glad to Be Unhappy", Don Redman's "Gee Baby, Ain't I Good To You" and "Secret Love" from the movie Calamity Jane made famous by Doris Day. Old favorites like "Someone to Watch Over Me" and "Autumn Leaves" are included as well. In this re-release, a bonus track "Tenderly" has been added.

CD Reviews

A Laid Back Affair, Except For Tony`s Solos...

4-Legged Defender | ATL. GA. | 04/07/2010

(4 out of 5 stars)

"My main discontent with this effort is that there are no uptempo tunes anywhere, which makes for languid relistening. Hank`s playing, as always, is breathtaking and impeccable, Buster Williams is fluid and full of depth and beauty, though I`ll always prefer Ron Carter in this trio, especially when Tony Williams is on the date, as their level of communication was psychic if not supernatural. There`s no interplay between Tony and Buster, they only share last names, but this may be partially Tony`s fault, as Dave Holland always made a point of saying Tony never gave him the time of day when he replaced Ron in Miles`group (something I`ll never forgive him for, as he has no right bad-mouthing the most remarkable drummer in jazz history). All of the tunes are standards, all well-executed, but too laid back for my own personal tastes. The only time there`s a hint of dynamic depth is when Tony digs in, and sometimes it`s a bit unusual, as he`s not really playing traditional jazz fills, this due to the fact that he was doing dates with his own group, Lifetime, a rock/jazz hybrid, simultaneously while recording w/ the Great Jazz Trio on various dates, both live and in the studio. But he still swings like no other, and his hand and foot combinations are all his own. I still recommend all the LP`s/ CD`s available by the Trio w/ Hank, Ron and Tony, and this one as well. I could never wrap my head around the remainder of the various other rhythm sections that followed due to my own prejudice and loyalty to Tony and Ron. So be it."
