This edition of the Great Jazz Trio features Hank Jones with bassist Eddie Gomez and drummer Al Foster in a release recorded in the U.S. at vanguard studios ,New York City in june ,1980 for issue in Japan. Jones contributes three originals to the session: the twisting bop line of Duplex, the subtle ballad Sublime, and the strutting blues Peedlum. He switches to electric piano for the bassist's moody Light Listened and Foster's ineffective samba Just Before Dawn, which comes across very dated and muddy. A crisp flight through Ornithology and a dreamy waltz through Stella by Starlight feature Jones back on the Steinway to show off his considerable chops.
