Elegance,passion,beauty and humility.Skills beyond description.a career than spanned over 988 sessions from 1944 to 2009 and still a few uncounted.An awe inspiring contribution to the music.Perhaps only rivaled by bassist Milt Hinton who recorded from 1930 to 2002 on 1196 documented Jazz sessions and probably hundreds more as a pop session player and studio musician.Compare the Hank Jones stats to two of the most recorded Jazz drummers in history-Jo Jones 509 sessions from 1931 to 1982 and Billy Higgins,475 sessions in the years 1957 to 2001.Jones created a profound standard of excellence.He will be remembered.
