Neue Musik von Jim Hall, „Uniquities“, Aufnahmen von 2012 im Trio mit Scott Colley und Joey Baron – scheint schon im Dezember bei ArtistShare erschienen zu sein, zog aber bisher völlig an mir vorbei:

Marc Myers auf Jazzwax (gibt dort auch „All the Things You Are“ zum Probehören:
From 2009 onward, producer-composer Brian Camelio traveled with guitarist Jim Hall on tour to lend assistance as Jim recovered from back surgery. During this performance period, Jim fronted a trio and played duets. Fortunately, Brian recorded as much as he could and stashed away the tapes. Recently, Brian was asked by Jim’s widow, Jane Hall, to assemble an album of the recorded material in celebration of what would have been his 92nd birthday on December 4, 2022.
So Brian went through his archives and stumbled upon tracks recorded in May and June of 2012. The result is Uniquities, 12 previously unreleased live tracks released in two separate volumes in March. Jim was joined by bassist Scott Colley and drummer Joey Baron. The sound is fantastic, and Jim’s playing is first-rate, thanks to the recording process used and the fine playing by Scott and Joey.
„Uniquities“ is a word invented up by Jane to describe how Jim would take musical ideas and constantly reinvent them, similar to Bill Evans’s revisiting of specific standards and Monet’s Water Lilies series. One shot isn’t enough when it comes to artistically interpreting beauty’s nuances.
The songs on Vol. 1 are Without A Song, All The Things You Are, Careful (Jim Hall), Chelsea Bridge, Is What It Is (Scott Colley), Uniquities Part 1 (Hall, Joey Baron and Colley) and St. Thomas (Sonny Rollins).
The songs on Vol. 2 are Without A Song, Body and Soul, Big Blues (Hall), In a Sentimental Mood, Uniquities Part 2 and St. Thomas.
This album is superb and an exceptional document, since no official post-2010 small-group recordings by Jim have surfaced until now. […]
