"Perhaps the word `perfection' is seen too often in music reviews. Nevertheless, One More: Music of Thad Jones deserves that honor." - JAZZTIMES
One More: Music of Thad Jones showcases the timeless compositions of Thad Jones, one of the most influential jazz composers of the second half of the twentieth century, a composer who, in the words of Charles Mingus, wrote with "a pencil guided by God". Features legendary musicians who were associated with Jones including his brother, Hank Jones, the dean of living jazz pianists; James Moody, Benny Golson, and Frank Wess, three of the greatest living masters of the tenor sax; Bob Brookmeyer, Jimmy Owens, and Richard Davis, charter members of the Thad Jones--Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra; and Roland Hanna, Hank's successor in The Band.
