Hank Jones, piano solo - JazzBaltica, Salzau, 3 July 2005

What? A dozen encores? :-)

The legendary Hank Jones, who turned 87 a few weeks after this concert was recorded, was booked to play for an hour. But after his scheduled time was up he didn't make the slightest attempt to leave the stage. Instead he played what may be termed a musical request programme to the utmost delight of the audience.

Killer show! Enjoy!

To my knowledge there's no better recording available.
Sound's pretty good, though.
