Milestones Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Not sure if this is a true recommendation, but I sampled some stuff from a lengthy CD collecting various performances of Jim Hall with Jimmy Giuffre. I'm sure most would agree that they put together a fair amount of classic stuff. Most of the tunes on this compilation are unfamiliar to me. The things with a latin feel don't do much for me, but others sound really good.Your thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 No thoughts, can't seem to find any specifics online. Care to share some more details? If this is a full disc of Giuffre 3 recordings, I 'd surely be interested. That is, if this isn't just stuff around already ... Nagel-Heyer is legit, but this will most likely be a PD release, so ...

Ted O'Reilly Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Thinking of Jim Hall, the fine Toronto bassist Steve Wallace has proven himself to be a fine writer in the last couple of years, on his blog about "Jazz, baseball, life and other ephemera." He added a fine appreciation of Jim Hall a few weeks back. http://wallacebass.com/?p=4296 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milestones Posted September 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) I don't know how legit it is. I found it on a download site some would find dubious. Some tracks are from the most renowned trio album (the one with "The Train and the River," "Crawdad Suite") etc. I'm guessing nothing is in the newly-discovered area, or even exceptionally rare--though, again, a lot of tracks are unfamiliar to me.

king ubu Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 So you think it's the Atlantic studio recordings of the Giuffre 3? That would be a lousy move indeed ... the fact that a search for Jim Hall on the Nagel Heyer website does not turn up a thing makes it look pretty fishy indeed.The music is great of course, no doubt about that (even if it ends up being stuff I don't know, I'm quite positive about that).

JSngry Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 As long as you're befriending the internet, ask it what that great Pacific Jazz Chico Hamilton trio record that at 10" had Howard Roberts on guitar but used Jim Hall to add two additional inches of size is doing for the weekend.
