50th ANNIVERSARY EDITION! JIM HALL - CONCIERTO NEW RELEASE OUT THIS FRIDAY!
Produced by Creed Taylor and originally issued on the CTI label in 1975, Jim Hall’s Concierto followed the path of Miles Davis’ celebrated Sketches of Spain in presenting, among other tunes, an arrangement of Joaquín Rodrigo’s “Concierto de Aranjuez.” The LP was an all-star venture, with Hall accompanied by such luminaries as Chet Baker, Paul Desmond, Roland Hanna, Ron Carter and Steve Gadd. Desmond had along history of recording with the guitarist, but this was Hall and Baker’s first out of just two recorded encounters. Concierto received a 4 ½ rating on AllMusic, with reviewer Anthony Tognazzini stating that it “ranks among the best albums of Hall’s superb catalog and the personnel is a jazz lover’s dream come true.”
