专辑介绍：
The Great Jazz Trio是由钢琴家汉克-琼斯(Hank Johns)、鼓手埃文-琼斯(Elvin Johns)与贝斯演奏家理查德-戴维斯(Richard Davis)组成的，汉克与埃文堪称爵士界一对传奇兄弟组合，哥哥汉克曾经与加农炮艾德礼、迈尔斯-戴维斯、艾拉-菲茨杰拉德和阿特-布莱克等大师有着长期而密切地合作，出版过大量唱片，有“钢琴绅士”之称，是一位技艺卓然，以旋律演奏见长的钢琴家；而弟弟埃文则是爵士界泰斗级的鼓手，他曾效力于约翰-柯纯巅峰时期的四重奏组合，亦是柯纯最欣赏也最信任的爵士鼓演奏家。
Stella By Starlight(星光下的史黛拉)为1944年电影《The Uninvited》之主要配乐，词曲创作名家Victor Young维特．扬所作，1946年由Ned Washington奈德．华盛顿填词后躋身爵士标準曲Top10。
《Stella by Starlight》是The Great Jazz Trio推出的一张印刻着深深的波普(Post-Bop)与冷爵士烙印的唱片，Great Jazz Trio以优雅的律动刻划星光下的美丽倩影，其旋律之美、律动之轻盈、情感之丰富令听者无不动心。如果你听过之前的他们推出的专辑，那自然不用多说。如果没有，你将会立刻感受到这是最好的爵士乐。这几个老家伙有着非凡的经验，他们清楚地知道自己要做什么，该怎样去做，尤其汉克-琼斯那优雅、自然、绅士味道十足的钢琴演奏，更是众多爵士乐迷唱片柜中必藏的极品。
Since launching the Great Jazz Trio in the 1970s, Hank Jones has been accompanied by many different rhythm sections, though this one, with bassist John Patitucci and drummer Jack DeJohnette, ranks alongside any of them. In spite of a life-threatening diagnosis that resulted in emergency surgery a couple of years earlier, the pianist, 85 at the time of the sessions, is very much at the top of his game. The diverse program delves into standards from the swing era (an explosive "'S Wonderful" and a jaunty take of "Sweet Lorraine"), a subtle arrangement of the gospel-inflected "Moanin'," along with the surprising choice of "Take Five" in a blues-drenched setting. Patitucci's warm arco bass introduces the haunting take of the centuries-old "Green Sleeves," backed by Jones' spacious piano and DeJohnette's delicate percussion, while the leader's inventive improvisation that follows proves that there is plenty of room for exploration of this still popular song. ~ Ken Dryden
