Jim Hall - Three Classic Albums Plus (2011) CD-Rip

Don’t rush for those Blue Suede Shoes just yet, the Carl Perkins sitting in with Jim Hall on our first of his featured albums “Jazz Guitar” is the piano playing Perkins………alliteratively speaking!!
Born in New York in 1930 this first album for Jim Hall as leader, also features Red Mitchell on bass. “Folk Jazz” under the leadership of Bill Smith, finds Jim alongside clarinettist Bill Smith with Monty Budwig on bass and the legendary Shelly Manne behind the drums. The album is somewhat of a reflection of the traditional folk background of Bill Smith. “Good Friday Blues” introduces us to the “Modest Jazz Trio”…….Jim Hall on guitar of course, Red Mitchell on piano and Red Kelly on bass on a date from 1960.you could almost call it the Reds meet the Blues!!
All three albums have been digitally re-mastered for probably the finest ever sound quality!
