I Remember You is an album by pianist Hank Jones, recorded in Paris in 1977 for the Black & Blue label.[1]

Reception

The Boston Globe wrote that Jones "plays with a steady swinging pulse with lots of variations, fluent single note runs, a sharp accent here, a quick change of pace there, a fanciful twist to the melody line or, on Richard Rodgers' 'You Took Advantage of Me', opening with a glittering quick-fingered Art Tatum solo."[2]

AllMusic stated that "this outing features pianist Hank Jones emphasizing the swing side of his flexible musical personality... A fine set." The Penguin Guide to Jazz described this and Bluesette from the same label as having "a soft and occasionally plangent quality which is highly appealing."
