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.
