This is a Jim Hall composition that he recorded several times during his career. This version is from a Gary Burton album "Something's Coming!" from 1963. I have been really into Jim this past month. Truly the father of modern Jazz guitar. Solo sounds easy, but it gave me some trouble. Even though Jim isn't known as a technical player, he has his moments with rakes and slurs that are hard to replicate. Amazing sense of rhythm and melody. You are going to see and hear lots more of Jim in the coming months. ☺
More Jim Hall!!! Great choices this month. Both very thoughtful players with great control. We should both do Waltz New from the duo record with Red Mitchell. Well done.
