Great Jazz Trio: Hank Jones, Mads Vinding, Billy Hart - Standard Collection Vols. 1 & 2

Billy Hart (drums) & Hank Jones (piano) & Mads Vinding (bass).

Pianist Hank Jones has had quite a few editions of the Great Jazz Trio, from the original with Tony Williams and Ron Carter in 1975 to the latest with John Patitucci and Omar Hakim (2006; VRCL-18835). The Great Jazz Trio with Danish bassist Mads Vinding and drummer Billy Hart, formed in 1998, was the fourth edition.

In 2007, Japanese label Pony Canyon took materials recorded by the fourth GJT between 1988 and 1990, remastered with the latest DSD technology and released them as three compilation CDs: Prelude to a Kiss, Stardust, and My Funny Valentine, with subtitles "The Greatest Hits of Standards Vol. 1, 2, and 3," respectively. Selections of familiar standards are played beautifully by the maestro and his superb supporting cast. The talented Mads Vinding is given generous solo spaces and shows his lyrical abilities. While not ground-breaking, each performance is crafted with impeccable taste and an elengat sense of swing. Piano trio fans will not be disappointed!
