Max Gordon, the owner of the Village Vanguard brought together 3 of the most versatile jazz performers for two nights in February of 1977: Hank Jones on piano, Ron Carter on bass and the youngest Tony Williams on bass.
Together they melded into one of the most potent and magical trios of all time: so much so that Gordon hailed them as the Great jazz dream trio. Their six hours of recording have been cut into three CD albums released by Test of Time Records.
Sadly, on May 16, 2010, Hank Jones passed on in a hospice in the Bronx. His great music will live on forever.
