4. Alas, the last of the Jones brothers shuffles off this mortal coil.
Edited on Mon May-17-10 02:12 PM by MilesColtrane
It's hard to say that we'll ever see a more talented generation of a single family again.

Each was a force in jazz, albeit in very different contexts.

(A tiny bit of trivia from Hank's storied career, and a gratuitous political tie-in:

He was the pianist who accompanied Marilyn Monroe when she sang "Happy Birthday" to John Kennedy in 1962.)

6. RIP.
I didn't know he was Elvin's brother or that he accompanied Marilyn Monroe as she sang to JFK.
