The eldest of the legendary Jones brothers (his siblings are drummer Elvin and trumpeter/composer Thad) and the first of the major Detroit jazz pianists to emerge after World War II (Tommy Flanagan, Barry Harris, and Sir Roland Hanna followed), Hank Jones is a pianist's pianist - a towering beacon of swing, style, touch and taste. In these two Jones Concord Jazz sessions - Rockin' in Rhythm and Lazy Afternoon - the master pianist's expansive musical vocabulary, elegant swing and magical touch make for two utterly timeless recordings. "In Hank Jones's hands, you'll hear an absorption of the great spectrum of jazz styles. Don't label him. Just listen to the distinctive touch and musical vision that has emerged from all of that grand assimilation." - Ken Frankling, UPI

This two-disc reissue combines sessions Hank Jones waxed for Concord Jazz 12 years apart. The first CD contains 1977's Rockin' in Rhythm, originally co-billed to Jones, bassist Ray Brown, and drummer Jimmie Smith. The trio ably handles a group of standards, though, as annotator Leonard Feather notes of the opening song, "Your Feet's Too Big," the nominal songwriters can be happy they are receiving royalties for improvistations that often use very little of their original tunes. On this track and three others, Jones plays an electric piano to good effect. He dominates the music, making his new star billing on the session appropriate. The ten tracks on the second disc were recorded in July 1989 and originally issued as Lazy Afternoon. Here, Dave Holland on bass and Keith Copeland on drums, with Ken Peplowski adding clarinet and alto sax, join Jones. Though originally billed as a Jones solo album, this is actually more of a group effort than Rockin' in Rhythm, with each of the musicians getting considerable solo time. The aspect that makes it more of Jones record is the material, which includes several lively originals from the pianist, particularly "Intimidation." Only the title song, from the 1954 Broadway musical The Golden Apple, really can be called a standard. Concord Jazz doesn't have much Jones in its catalog, but the label makes the best of what it does have by combining these two albums in a single package.
