Jim Hall

Received an e-mail that there will be several volumes of hitherto unreleased recordings of Jim Hall's trio from Toronto in 1975 (one LP of this was on Horizon) on Artist Share - bassist Don Thompson found some tape boxes.

There also will be a live CD of Hall current band with Greg Osby, Steve Laspina and Joey Baron.

For some reason, Artist Share finds it necessary to sell the unreleased material at a clip of $25/cd, though.

I know it kinda sucks but I'm inclined to get for two reasons. A) I like Jim Hall and b) Their packaging is okay. I paid $40 for Maria Schneider's last release and it was worth it.

I have to go back and listen to the individual CD I have to make a definitive decision.

I have the Horizon lp so I'm not too interested in a $25 extension of the same. Still I'm intrigued by his playing with Joey Baron and Greg Osby. That sounds really interesting.

Yeah, way too expensive for the Live vol. 2-4 box set. I thought the whole point was to make new projects possible, not to cash in on something that happened a long time in the past. Anyway, I'll probably get the Birdland CD, which should include Osby and Baron (actually details are kind of scarce on the CD itself). I think it would definitely be better if they accepted Paypal, however.
