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

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.

Bobby Wiens: Focus
by Kyle Simpler
Even though a recording is a finished product, it still captures the feeling and intensity of the session. When players have a good working rapport, everything translates through the music. Clearly, the musicians assembled by drummer Bobby Wiens for his second album, Focus, share a strong rapport, and that chemistry is evident throughout the recording.
Ellen Pieroni: Balancing Act for a Life in Music
by R.J. DeLuke
By day, a mild-mannered music teacher in the Buffalo public school system in western New York state--the city known for its brutal snowstorms and the NFL's Bills--Ellen Pieroni is, by night, ready to pour out streams of jazz-inflected, funk-infused solos from any given bandstand. From that vantage point, she's fierce and fun. Her band, ...
Ron Carter & Yotam Silberstein: Duets
by Dan Bilawsky
The concept of virtuosity is often misunderstood as an outsized display of technique. In truth though, by definition and in reality, it's about mastery. Such expertise is just as likely to be shown in measured command as it is to appear as fireworks, and this absorbing duo date is a firm reminder of that fact. ...

Writing, arranging, recording, gigging, teaching, media commitments--it is all in a day's work for the indefatigable 89-year-old NEA Jazz Master. Since 1959, when he arrived in New York from his native Detroit, Ron Carter has enjoyed an unparalleled career. ...
