About this album
Play Chords is a spirited small-group jazz album built around Milt Buckner’s influential block-chord piano style and Jo Jones’ supple, time-keeping swing. Issued in 1967, it presents Buckner in an intimate trio setting where his full, rolling left hand and tight voicings give familiar standards and blues-based pieces extra drive and harmonic weight. Jones, one of the great drummers of the swing era, adds lift and precision rather than flash, helping the music stay buoyant and conversational. The result is a finely balanced session that reflects Buckner’s role in shaping modern jazz piano and Jones’ lasting authority as a master accompanist.
