Hank Jones & Red Mitchell • Duo

 

Review by Ken Dryden
These two musicians usually make any date that they're a part of a success and this rare duo date together is no exception. Jones' effortlessly swinging style is matched beautifully by the bassist's imaginative lines. The material is all very familiar, from the easygoing "Gone With the Wind" to a percolating "Wee" and the absolute show-stopping run through "I'll Remember April," which finds both men at a creative peak. It's a pity they didn't record a follow up to this very enjoyable session, recorded at Rudy Van Gelder's studio.

Reseña de Ken Dryden
Estos dos músicos suelen hacer que cualquier cita en la que participan sea un éxito y esta rara cita a dúo no es una excepción. El estilo desenfadado de Jones se combina a la perfección con las imaginativas líneas del bajista. Todo el material es muy familiar, desde la relajada «Gone With the Wind» a la percoladora «Wee» y la absolutamente espectacular «I'll Remember April», que muestra a ambos en un momento creativo álgido. Es una pena que no grabaran una continuación de esta sesión tan agradable, grabada en el estudio de Rudy Van Gelder.
