Jim Hall Concierto (2 LP)

180 Gram Audiophile Vinyl! Pressed at Pallas in Germany!
This recording is considered a masterpiece of jazz, recorded in 1975. With prominent accompaniment in the form of Chet Baker on trumpet and Paul Desmond on saxophone, the eminent modern jazz guitarist Jim Hall plays standards as well as original compositions. A highlight on "Concierto" is certainly Hall's interpretation of a movement from Rodrigo's "Guitar Concerto" arranged by Don Sebesky.
Jim Hall's Concierto was arguably the greatest LP in the history of CTI and possibly a masterpiece. With two legendary players in the frontline, trumpeter Chet Baker and Paul Desmond, Hall interprets standards and engaging originals. A master of melody who never wastes notes, the centerpiece for this release is Hall's interpretation of one movement from Rodrigo's "Guitar Concerto," arranged by Don Sebesky. New tracks include alternate takes of "You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To" and "Rock Skippin'," plus "Unfinished Business," an incomplete track that fades following Desmond's solo just as Hall starts to play.
