Long regarded as one of the jazz worlds most unsung heroes, Hank Jones tasty fireworks and subtle improvisation finally started getting the recognition they deserved in the mid-Fifties. In fact, from 1953 practically every album released by Savoy in that era included Hank Jones on piano. Less than two years later he joined forces with the dependable bassist Wendell Marshall and the always-swinging drummer Kenny Clarke and found hisideal trio. As he put it, a good rhythm section must have the ability to think together as a unit, to all have the same type of drive. After they had worked as a unit on several recording dates for Savoy, most of the critics and jazz fans acclaimed THE TRIO (as they were called) as the most outstanding rhythm section of their time.
Press reviews
"This is a superb Hank Jones date; highly recommended for fans of piano trio music. In 1955, most jazz pianists were immersed in the school of Bud Powell. Jones is unique in that he developed his harmonic concept prior to Powell's ascendancy and the bebop revolution, but went on to fully assimilate the melodic vocabulary of bop. He has synthesized important elements from many great players into his own recognizable style. His versatility is evident on these eight selections. Jones plays swinging bop lines on his original "We're All Together" and his blues head, "Odd Number," displays the Powell influence most clearly. Upon hearing the delicate touch and harmonic subtlety with which Jones plays ballads -- including "We Could Make Such Beautiful Music Together," "Cyrano," "There's a Small Hotel," and "My Funny Valentine" -- one can imagine that a young Bill Evans was quite familiar with this recording. Jones' mastery of block chords is particularly impressive. Occasionally reissued under drummer Kenny Clarke's name, this important Savoy session also includes bassist Wendell Marshall, who had spent the previous seven years with Duke Ellington's band."

Considerados durante mucho tiempo como uno de los héroes anónimos del jazz del mundo, los sabrosos fuegos artificiales y la sutil improvisación de Hank Jones finalmente comenzaron a recibir el reconocimiento que merecían a mediados de los años cincuenta. De hecho, desde 1953 prácticamente todos los álbumes editados por Savoy en esa época incluían a Hank Jones al piano. Menos de dos años después unió fuerzas con el confiable bajista Wendell Marshall y el siempre cambiante baterista Kenny Clarke y fundó su trío ideal. Como él dijo, una buena sección rítmica debe tener la capacidad de pensar juntos como una unidad, de tener todos el mismo tipo de impulso. Después de haber trabajado como una unidad en varias fechas de grabación para Savoy, la mayoría de los críticos y fanáticos del jazz aclamaron AL TRÍO (como se les llamaba) como la sección rítmica más destacada de su tiempo.
Reseñas de prensa
"Esta es una excelente cita con Hank Jones; muy recomendable para los fanáticos de la música de trío de piano. En 1955, la mayoría de los pianistas de jazz estaban inmersos en la escuela de Bud Powell. Jones es único en el sentido de que desarrolló su concepto armónico antes del ascenso de Powell y la revolución del bebop, pero luego asimiló completamente el vocabulario melódico del bop. Ha sintetizado elementos importantes de muchos grandes músicos en su propio estilo reconocible. Su versatilidad es evidente en estas ocho selecciones. Jones toca líneas de bop oscilantes en su "We're All Together" original y su cabeza de blues, "Odd Number", muestra la influencia de Powell con mayor claridad. Al escuchar el toque delicado y la sutileza armónica con la que Jones interpreta baladas, incluidas "Podríamos hacer una Música Tan Hermosa Juntos", "Cyrano"," There's a Small Hotel "y" My Funny Valentine", uno puede imaginar que un joven Bill Evans estaba bastante familiarizado con esta grabación. El dominio de Jones de los acordes de bloque es particularmente impresionante. Reeditada ocasionalmente bajo el nombre del baterista Kenny Clarke, esta importante sesión de Savoy también incluye al bajista Wendell Marshall, quien había pasado los siete años anteriores con la banda de Duke Ellington."
