Jim Hall
Born:
Jim Hall, born in Buffalo, and educated at the Cleveland Institute of Music, moved to Los Angeles where he began to attract national, and then international, attention in the late 1950s. By 1960 Jim had arrived in New York to work with Sonny Rollins and Art Farmer, among others. His live and recorded collaborations with Bill Evans, Paul Desmond, and Ron Carter, are legendary. Not only is Jim Hall one of the jazz world's favorite guitarists, but he has also earned critical acclaim for his skills as a composer and arranger. The first formal recognition came in 1997, when Jim won the New York Jazz Critics Circle Award for Best Jazz Composer/Arranger
Bobby Wiens: Live at Dazzle
by Kyle Simpler
A really good live jazz album captures something that even the finest studio recording often struggles to reproduce: the interaction of musicians responding to each other in real time before an audience. There is an interaction between the players and the audience that is difficult to replicate in a studio setting. With Live at Dazzle, drummer ...
Kevin Fort: Chiaroscuro
by Hrayr Attarian
Pianist Kevin Fort and guitarist Andy Brown are two stalwarts of the Chicago jazz scene. With their easily recognizable styles and superlative musicianship, they have individually built critically acclaimed discographies. On Chiaroscuro, the pair draws on pianist Bill Evans and guitarist Jim Hall discs from the 1960s to craft eight intimate, lyrical tracks that crackle with ...
John Scofield: Meant To Be
by John Ephland
When John Scofield and I met, in his Vancouver hotel room in June, 1990 on the occasion of the fifth annual du Maurier Ltd., International Jazz Festival, the conversation started with talk of his then-current band and his Blue Note debut, Time On My Hands (Blue Note Records, 1990). By this point, Sco, who ...

Alessandro Florio: Controra Avenue
by Don Ball
Jazz organ trios tend toward a funky, nitty-gritty sound, like a night out at a juke joint in Mississippi. Italian guitarist Alessandro Florio presents a different approach, much like lazing away on a warm, sunny day at a Mediterranean beach. Not that he cannot bring the groove when he wants, but Florio's album lives up to ...
Francesco Diodati in primo piano
by Angelo Leonardi
Figura centrale da un decennio dei gruppi di Enrico Rava, Francesco Diodati è tra i più creativi chitarristi europei della sua generazione. Artista eclettico, sempre aperto a nuove esplorazioni, ha guidato due ensemble centrali del jazz italiano contemporaneo, Neko e Yellow Squeeds; ha anche fatto parte dei progetti di Bobby Previte, Matteo Bortone, Julien Pontvianne, Paolo ...
Kevin Fort: Chiaroscuro
by Jeff Cebulski
The combination of piano and guitar seems to be a potential no-brainer for artistic jazz expression, yet not many successful attempts exist, on record anyway. The obvious victories and inspirations are the two albums by hall-of-famers Bill Evans and Jim Hall , Undercurrent (Blue Note, 1962) and Intermodulation (Verve, 1966). The Chicago-area pianist Kevin ...
Marco Pasinetti: SIPHONOFORO
by Marco Iacoboni
Prima della musica bisogna parlare del significato nominale di questo album e collettivo omonimo, Siphonoforo. Il Siphonoforo è un invertebrato marino o meglio una colonia di zooidi specializzati ognuno ad una funzione vitale. Tradotto in musica è un quartetto senza un basso ordinario a darne la struttura, ma è sorretto dall'ascolto reciproco ...
