In the opening of this 107-minute long DVD, Hank Jones says he visited Kobe for the first time "ten years ago" (ie, 1986), and Ron Carter refers to the city as "the birthplace of jazz in Japan." The concert, filmed on December 4, 1996, starts with Jones-Carter duo performances of "'Round Midnight" and "Polka Dots and Moonbeams," followed by trio renditions (with Lewis Nash added on drums) of "Blue Monk" and "A Night in Tunisia." Hank Jones' part of the concert, leading Santi DeBriano (bass) and Jimmie Smith (drums), begins with an up-tempo version of "Speak Low," and continues with "On Green Dolphin Street," "Body and Soul," and "What's New?" Japanese songstress Shigeko Suzuki joins the group for "It's Alright With Me". After an intermission, Ron Carter's Quartet - with Stephen Scott (piano), Lewis Nash (drums) and Steve Kroon (percussion) - enters the stage, playing "Blues for D.P." (Ron's tribute to Duke Pearson, a song covered by Grover Washington, Jr.), the bossa-nova "Mr. Bow-Tie" (with Kroon playing "pandeiro" as he learned from his teacher and mentor Dom Um Romão), "Cut and Paste" and Milt Jackson's "Bag's Groove."
The final part of that memorable night reunites Hank Jones, Ron Carter, Steve Kroon and the two drummers, Lewis Nash & Jimmie Smith. This quintet performs "Satin Doll," "Take The 'A' Train" and, as the last number, a blues credited as "All Members Session," on which bassist Santi DeBriano and pianist Stephen Scott also join the stage, transforming the group in a very special septet. In a very special evening, indeed.
