Jim Hall, Jazz Guitarist, Dies at 83. (The New York Times, 12/11/2013)
If you've never heard him play, this is the best place to start.
All About Jazz. Jim Hall: Concierto. Amongst the many CTI classics of the 1970s, few stand the test of time as well as guitarist Jim Hall's Concierto, an ambitious album that, in its original form, married one side of modern mainstream with a second taken up by a 19-minute version of Joaquin Rodrigo's 1939 piece for classical guitar and orchestra, "Concierto de Aranjuez."
This album has been in high rotation in my life for the past 10 years.
