Jim Hall
Something Special (5 out of 5 stars) This recording is aptly named. It is, indeed, Something Special . Every track is a complete gem: beautiful compositions, great interaction, marvelous solos and musicality on the highest level. On top of all this, the sound quality is perfection. What an incredible sense of space and maturity in this music. Jim Hall is a genius of the subtle and quiet fire . A very young Larry Goldings is a revelation here, playing piano only, and making one forget totally about his mastery of the B3. There s no drums, just guitar, piano and bass and sublime musical balance. I never tire of this music and I encourage any lover of timeless art to get this cd while you still can. It s worth the money - every last penny.
