Born in Buffalo, New York, Jim Hall (1930-2013) was one of the most influential
and sought after jazz guitarists since the late '50s. Thanks to his stylistic
versatility, on any given day in New York he was able to record with Blues
veterans in one studio, then at a Bossa Nova session in another one, and explore
new sound concepts with uncompromising avant-gardists in the clubs at night.

Growing up in a very musical family, he received his first guitar at the age of
ten. Three years later he heard Charlie Christian, the “inventor” of
the electrical jazz guitar, on a Benny Goodman recording – an epiphany
that sparked his love for jazz. Remarkably, his most important role models were
the great tenor saxophonists: Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young, Paul Gonsalves, and
Lucky Thompson.

He studied composition, music theory, guitar and double bass, (and took lessons
in classical guitar) at the Cleveland Institute of Music. In 1955 he ventured
into the jazz scene of Los Angeles, where he quickly made his mark in the
quintet of drummer Chico Hamilton. He released a number of chamber
music-oriented albums with the trio of multi-instrumentalist Jimmy Giuffre, that
are among the milestones of their time. Hall also worked in a similar vein with
John Lewis, the pianist of the Modern Jazz Quartet. His truly wonderful albums
"The Wonderful World Of Jazz" and "Jazz Abstractions" are part of every
respectable jazz collection and probably showcase the full scope and talent of
Jim Hall best.

In the early 1960s, Hall was omnipresent in New York: as a companion to Ella
Fitzgerald and Ben Webster, with saxophonists Sonny Rollins, Zoot Sims, and Paul
Desmond, with pianist Bill Evans and trumpeter Art Farmer, and as sideman on
numerous other studio recordings.
From the late 1960s, Hall worked mainly with his own bands. For recordings, he
met regularly with his early companions and also recorded with almost all of his
most important successors, like Pat Metheny, John Scofield and Bill Frisell.
