About "Thad's Pad (feat. Benny Golson, Bob Brookmeyer, Frank Wess, James Moody, Jimmy Owens & Richard Davis)" by Hank Jones
Hank Jones leads a septet through Thad Jones’s labyrinthine hard bop, the title’s domestic warmth belied by intricate horn charts that dart and weave like conversation at a crowded kitchen table. Each soloist—Golson, Brookmeyer, Wess—pulls the thread of swing into unexpected harmonic corners, all held aloft by Richard Davis’s buoyant bass.
