I did not know that Hank Jones passed away. He will be sorely missed

Make no mistake. No pun intended here.

But who was this man, Hank Jones?

Racman: See below.
Born in Vicksburg, Mississippi, Henry "Hank" Jones moved to Pontiac, Michigan, where his father, a Baptist deacon and lumber inspector, bought a three-story brick home. One of seven children, Jones was raised in a musical family. His mother sang; his two older sisters studied piano; and his two younger brothers—Thad, a trumpeter, and Elvin, a drummer—also became prominent jazz musicians. You do know Elvin Jones???????

Wow! awesome! No Boomer, I was totally ignorant of 'The' Elvin Jones being part of that family.

Thank you Boomer for informing me.

Hank Jones can be found in film footage with Charlie Parker, Buddy Rich and Oscar Pettiford, I believe. His legacy is infinite.
