Hank JONES - Porgy and Bess 1958
Label: Capitol / Toshiba EMI
Audio Cd: 2003
Jazz
The Porgy and Bess material, originally released on Capitol in 1960, is less satisfactory. Hank's brother Elvin replaces Osie Johnson, and Kenny Burrell replaces Barry Galbraith. But even surrounded by this unimpeachable level of musicianship, Jones' encounters with icons like "Summertime" and "It Ain't Necessarily So" bring no important insights. They are mannered, highly stylized and flawless.
