Jim Hall Trio • The Complete 'Jazz Guitar'

 

The Jim Hall Trio LP "Jazz Guitar" recorded in 1957 with pianist Carl Perkins and bassist Red Mitchell has appeared in various forms (including a re-issue with drums dubbed on) but this is the first time that all the tracks cut at the session have been put together unabridged on one CD.

Biography:

A harmonically advanced cool-toned and subtle guitarist, Jim Hall was an inspiration to many guitarists, including some (such as Bill Frisell) who sound nothing like him. Hall attended the Cleveland Institute of Music and studied classical guitar in Los Angeles with Vicente Gómez. He was an original member of the Chico Hamilton Quintet (1955-1956), and during 1956-1959 was with the Jimmy Giuffre Three. After touring with Ella Fitzgerald (1960-1961) and sometimes forming duos with Lee Konitz, Hall was with Sonny Rollins' dynamic quartet in 1961-1962, recording The Bridge. He co-led a quartet with Art Farmer (1962-1964), recorded on an occasional basis with Paul Desmond during 1959-1965 (all of their quartet performances are collected on a Mosaic box set), and then became a New York studio musician. He was mostly a leader during the following years and, in addition to his own projects for World Pacific/Pacific Jazz, MPS, Milestone, CTI, Horizon, Artist House, Concord, MusicMasters, and Telarc, Jim Hall recorded two classic duet albums with Bill Evans. A self-titled collaboration with Pat Metheny followed in 1999. A flurry of studio albums, reissues, and compilations followed throughout the next few years, with the exceptional Jim Hall & Basses standing out for its bass/guitar duet format. Jim Hall died at his apartment in Manhattan on December 10, 2013; he was 83 years old.

Biografía:

Un guitarrista armónicamente avanzado de tono frío y sutil, Jim Hall fue una inspiración para muchos guitarristas, incluyendo algunos (como Bill Frisell) que no se parecen en nada a él. Hall asistió al Instituto de Música de Cleveland y estudió guitarra clásica en Los Ángeles con Vicente Gómez. Fue miembro original del Quinteto Chico Hamilton (1955-1956), y durante 1956-1959 estuvo con los Tres de Jimmy Giuffre. Después de ir de gira con Ella Fitzgerald (1960-1961) y a veces formando dúos con Lee Konitz, Hall estuvo con el dinámico cuarteto de Sonny Rollins en 1961-1962, grabando The Bridge. Dirigió un cuarteto con Art Farmer (1962-1964), grabó ocasionalmente con Paul Desmond durante 1959-1965 (todas sus actuaciones en cuarteto se recogen en una caja de Mosaico), y luego se convirtió en un músico de estudio de Nueva York. Fue principalmente un líder durante los años siguientes y, además de sus propios proyectos para World Pacific/Pacific Jazz, MPS, Milestone, CTI, Horizon, Artist House, Concord, MusicMasters y Telarc, Jim Hall grabó dos álbumes clásicos a dúo con Bill Evans. En 1999 se produjo una colaboración autotitulada con Pat Metheny. Una ráfaga de álbumes de estudio, reediciones y compilaciones siguieron a lo largo de los siguientes años, con el excepcional Jim Hall & Basses destacándose por su formato de dúo bajo/guitarra. Jim Hall murió en su apartamento de Manhattan el 10 de diciembre de 2013; tenía 83 años.
