Some days ago I listened to a CD with Jim Hall<\/strong>, guitar, that I have bought some years ago. I am not sure if I ever had listened to this CD, I had heard the name Jim Hall now and the, but was not really aware what kind of music he is playing.<\/p>\n

During the last days I have listened to many interesting videos with music played by Jim Hall together with Bill Evans (piano), Attila Zoller (guitar), Bill Frisell, Sonny Rollins, Pat Metheny and others. I found, that Jim Hall is one of the really great guitarists in jazz, and that he is especially a guitar player with a soft and smooth guitar sound, but a player of very melodic and interesting jazz. Jim Hall has influenced many of the younger jazz guitarists.<\/p>\n

Jim Hall has played the guitar for more than 50 years now, and after a longer pause caused by a medical trement he is active again and will play concerts.<\/p>\n

I had some problems in selecting the most interesting videos, because there are so many good videos with Jim Hall available. My playlist does already contain more than 20 interesting videos.<\/p>\n

Let’s start with a piece obviously recorded in the 60s, a duo with Barney Kessel:<\/p>\n
