Hank Jones could have been a star. Maybe he should have been. I'm not sure what Hank wanted. While his personality may have been understated, his playing was not. But he was never the star.Here we have an infrequent turn as leader. Even better we have a go at the Lerner/Lowe masterpiece. I love the soundtrack to this musical. It has been translated fantastically many different ways. Put this near the top of the list.
Let us also thank the BCB denizen who passed this record my way. This is a rip from his original vinyl We are humbled.

I've long been a fan of Hank Jones - thanks for this rarity!
So happy to find this album.
Thank a lot!
Thanks for posting this. But every track is mislabeled!
Could be Tom. If you frequent here you would realize that this is not my forte. Tack listing on the post should be correct.
