For My Father

Hank Jones was a giant in the Jazz world and continued to record and tour until he passed away in May 2010 at the age of 91. Hank Jones was named a National Endowment for the Arts jazz master in 1989. He received the National Medal of Arts in 2008 and a lifetime achievement Grammy Award in 2009. This 2004 session finds him in the company of bassist George Mraz and drummer Dennis Mackrel in a sumptuous collection of standards as only the master can perform them, full of subtlety and grace.
