Hank Jones (piano); George Duvivier (bass); Shelly Manne (drums). Recorded live in concert on May 2, 1979 at Ishi-Kaikan Hall, Kagoshima, Japan.

The late Hank Jones visited and performed many times in Japan, a country that truly loved and respected him as a master jazz pianist. This very special reissue SHM-CD contains live performances of his special trio with bassist George Duvivier and drummer Shelly Manne, recorded in Japan in 1979.

Originally released as Hank Jones Trio Live In Japan on vinyl LP in 1979, this edition was remastered in 24 bit from the original analog master tapes and pressed on SHM-CD which uses a special polycarbonate material for superior sound and is compatible with all CD players. A bonus track ("Oh, What A Beautiful Morning" which did not appear on the original LP is also included.

The sound quality of this CD is spectacular, capturing the natural and dynamic sound of the trio and the excitement of the packed audience. Tunes selected by Jones are mostly familiar, swing-oriented numbers, and the veteran trio -- Jones was 61 years old, Duvivier and Manne 59 at the time -- swing them with great skills and inspiration. This is a must-own CD for fans of Hank Jones and the jazz piano in general! Very strongly recommended!
