jazzkrow Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 I have been waiting anxiously for the follow-up to Hank and Charlie's duo recording-"Steal Away". It was recorded just a few mos before Hank passed away last Spring. I wrote to Jean Pierre Leduc, Hank's former publicist/manager. He informed me that Universal Music/Jazz France has plans to release the CD "Come Sunday" sometime this Fall. I can hardly wait as I so much enjoyed "Steal Away." It was Hank's final recording. I so much miss Mr. Jones' presence on the scene. One of the sweetest classiest men you could ever have met... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LWayne Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 I am also anxious to hear the follow-up. When I spoke to Charlie Haden and asked about this record at the 2010 Tri C Jazz Fest, he believed that the release date was imminent at that time. Since then a year has come and gone, so it will be with great pleasure that I will welcome this release should it happen this fall. Haden advised that the time that he spent with Hank Jones was precious and that this recording was a killer. Regards, LWayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlhoots Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 I'll get that too. Do you have the recording date(s)? I have a CD on the Japanese 88's label (VRCL 18846)recorded on Feb. 24, 2010. It's called Hank Jones: The Great Jazz Trio / Last Recording. It's Hank with Lee Wong on bass & Lee Pearson on drums. Roy Hargrove sits in on 2 tracks on trumpet & Raymond McMorrin is on 2 tracks on tenor. The music, packaging, production & sound are all quite remarkable.

Ken Dryden Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 I can't say I was impressed with Haden's playing on Steal Away. It sounded to me like he didn't know the tunes that well, while Hank obviously did. Haden's playing is rather conservative on this session.

David Wong I've been impressed with David Wong's playing every time I've seen him. Between his work with Hank Jones, the Heath Brothers and Roy Haynes, he certainly seems to be a rising bass star. Regarding the Jones/Haden duo, I'm looking forward to it, but I still haven't heard Steal Away. I would've loved for Jones to have recorded a duo album with George Mraz.

I had similar thoughts after listening to this - didn't listen to it that often, and sold it recently. I would have expected a somewhat more "peaceful" treatment of those tunes, if you know what I mean ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
