Live at Jazzhus Slukefter 1983
Storyville Records
Recorded at a Copenhagen jazz club, this location recording has the great pianist Hank Jones leadings trip with bassist Mads Vinding and drummer Shelley Manne on a selection of standards and bebop classics. Ably supported by Vinding and Manne, Jones was in full mastery of his skills and interpretative powers this night. He dazzles on Charlie Parker's "Scrapple From the Apple" and "Au Private," as well as on Bud Powell's "Budo." At the same time, his lyricism is to the fore on standards such as "Just Friends," "It Could Happen To You," and "What's New."
"Live at Jazzhus Slukefter 1983" is a wonderful addition to Hank Jones' recorded legacy.
I purchased this recording as a download from Bandcamp.com. It is also available as a CD from there and other sources. Here is a video, with a different trio from the CD, of Hank Jones performing Charlie Parker's "Au Private."
