Along with his brothers Thad (trumpet) and Elvin (drums), pianist Hank Jones has been an important figure in jazz throughout the modern era.

He has played on significant dates and recordings with Ella Fitzgerald and Charlie Parker, among other iconic figures. He also worked as the house pianist for the Savoy label and from 1959 through 1975 was the staff pianist for CBS studios. Jones continued to record and perform prolifically both as a leader, a sideman, and in collaborative ensembles (such as the Great Jazz Trio) well into the 2000s .
Hank Jones has also released music as a member of Billy Byers and His Orchestra, The Gene Krupa Trio, The Jones Brothers, The Trio, Hank Jones Quintet, Flip Phillips and His Orchestra, Charlie Parker Quartet, The Hank Jones Trio, The Great Jazz Trio, and Hank Jones & His Ginger.
