It
would
be
difficult
to
overstate
the
importance
of
the
Jones
brothers
Thad,
Hank
and
Elvin
on
the
world
of
jazz.
Between
the
three
of
them,
their
performances
can
be
heard
on
literally
thousands
of
recordings,
including
some
of
the
most
legendary
sessions
ever
recorded
with
some
of
the
greatest
artists.
Post-War
Detroit
was
really
taking
notes
on
the
new
sounds
of
jazz
coming
into
favor
and
the
group
of
former
Detroiters
included
on
this
album
include
some
of
its
most
virtuosic
students.
Thad
Jones,
(although
he
was
technically
from
nearby
Pontiac,
MI)
on
trumpet,
Kenny
Burrell
on
guitar,
Tommy
Flanagan
on
piano
and
Billy
Mitchell
on
saxophone.
Jones’
first
for
Blue
Note
from
1956
stands
as
a
fantastic
sounding
announcement
that
the
Detroiters
had
landed
in
New
York
and
were
about
to
take
off.
Including
legendary
players
Shadow
Wilson
on
Drums
and
Oscar
Pettiford
on
Bass;

New
York
Junction,
