Jim Hall
A harmonically advanced cool-toned and subtle guitarist,
Jim Hall has been 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 Vincente Gomez. 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 has mostly been a
leader ever since and, in addition to his own projects for
World Pacific/Pacific Jazz, MPS, Milestone, CTI, Horizon,
Artists House, Concord, Music Masters, 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.

Downbeat
Critics Choice
This is Jim Hall's forte. A trio with bass and drums allows
him to really shine. A word of warning however, this is hard-core
jazz, not likely to receive airplay on the local smooth jazz
station. Dark and woody sounding, this CD is perfect if you
like Jim Hall and want to hear him in a most uninhibited setting.

"Play
What You Hear" author Chris Standring has a brand
new album out on Ultimate Vibe Recordings entitled "Love
& Paragraphs". Standring
puts aside his trusty longtime jazz axe, the archtop Benedetto,
and digs into more earthy blues-rock territory on five tracks
with two Fender Strats. Standring plays the Benedetto on
the balance of the tracks on Love & Paragraphs, which
includes the vocal and horn-enhanced, mid-tempo retro funk
title track, the dreamy, ambient chill meditation “Liquid
Soul”; the hypnotic and jazzy, trip-chill blues jazz
pop jam “Ooh Bop” (highlighted by Standring’s
own irresistible poppy vocals); the bright, rolling jazzy
samba “That’s What I Thought You Said” and
the lush and romantic, synth orchestra-enhanced “Reflection,”
which closes the set in a cool and dramatic film score-like
way. - Jonathan Widran
