Jim Hall & Basses

Released

Guitarist Jim Hall always loved working in a duo format, from his monumental albums with pianist Bill Evans to his explorations with Pat Metheny and Enrico Pieranunzi. But the format he kept returning to was guitar and bass – and on this album, it’s guitar and a rotating all-star cast of bassists (including Christian McBride, George Mraz, Charlie Haden and Dave Holland). As is so often the case, we get some duo improvisations, as well as beautifully rendered standards and original compositions – everyone sounds amazing together.
