Largely--but not completely--devoid of avant-garde, metal, or prog-rock stylings, On A Mission is a straight-ahead fusion album somewhat along the lines of recent offerings ...
Jim Hall - Bill Frisell: Hemispheres

by AAJ Italy Staff
Per Jim Hall quello del duo è stato un formato musicale praticato assiduamente negli anni, anche se quasi mai con altri chitarristi, ma preferendo generalmente pianisti e contrabbassisti (memorabili gli incontri con Bill Evans e Ron Carter).

Hall ...

Hemispheres is the first release by ...
