A record of the close interplay between the finest jazz musicians.
This live album, recorded in Japan with Hank Jones at the center, is a highly polished session that shines with mature interplay and refined rhythms.
The elegant piano creates a flow, while the bass and drums respond with exquisite timing. The three are in perfect sync, with tension and release intertwined in the improvisation. The intonation of the sound is meticulously designed, and the role of each instrument is beautifully harmonized. The ensemble, making the most of space, is refined yet passionate. The performance is raw and beautiful, striking at the very heart of modern jazz.
