Concert ,enregistrement célèbres dont on ne se lasse pas.Cela donne envie de faire un voyage à NY pour se rendre au Village Vanguard...En attendant les CD nous transportent dans ce club...
The Great Jazz Trio was never better than when they played the Village Vanguard in 1977. Hank Jones on piano, Ron carter on bass and Tony Williams on drums are all at the top of their games here. The music is dynamic and exciting, and always tasteful. Tony Williams playing on Moose the Mooche is incredible.
I purchased this performance on lp in the 70's it has ranked as my favorite works of the Great Jazz Trio. Hank Jones has led this group with other bass players and other drummers, including his brother Elvin in 2002 and 2003. But for my money this lineup and in particular this CD, is the best of the bunch. And by the way, they are all great.
