In my last post, I mentioned a bunch of my fav jazz pianists, including Hank Jones, as subtle and swinging an ivory tickler as you’ll every hear, with a really unique touch. Here’s Hank on the Cole Porter chestnut, Love for Sale.
Friday Musical Interlude: More Jazz Piano
Nice link Jared! On a different note, for anyone interested there is a live Webcast of Newport Jazz Festival on NPR — Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock tonight at 6 pm EST (Sunday 8/4/13).

Thnx–I’ll definitely try to tune in for that.
Thanks for exposing me to Hank Jones. I’m a big fan of Herbie, McCoy Tyner, Oscar Peterson among others but have not listened much to Hank Jones that I know of. Appreciate your wide range of music interests.
