Hanksgiving - A Tribute to Hank Jones - Part 1 [Mondo Jazz 179-1]

For our seasonal Hanksgiving show, this year we pay tribute to Hank Jones, both as a saxophonist and a composer, by playing music from his albums as a leader and sideman, and renditions of his music by musicians that came after him. The collaboration with Malian master musician Cheick Tidian Seck kicks off a playlist which includes albums ranging from leader projects and solo work, to collaborations with some of the top Miles Davis alumni or with an avant-gardist with deep standard roots like Anthony Braxton.

Happy listening and belated happy Hanksgiving, what may very well become your new favorite holiday, the jazz equivalent of Festivus for the rest of us jazz loving freaks!

The playlist also features The Jones Brothers; Dave Holland; Billy Higgins; Joe Lovano, George Mraz, Paul Motian; Warne Marsh; The Great Jazz Trio; John Coltrane; Bill Evans; Howard Roberts.
