The career of jazz guitarist Jim Hall spans several decades, and he has played with quite nearly every jazz icon, from Sonny Rollins and Ella Fitzgerald to younger six-string disciples Bill Frisell and Pat Metheny. Hall has a bright, fluid tone that is capable of dazzling listeners even at low volume. The double-disc set HALLMARKS presents a superb cross-section of his work for Concord Records, perhaps America's foremost mainstream jazz label. This package has it all--elegance ("Autumn Leaves"), spirit ("Stern Stuff"), and mellow fun ("Say Hello To Calypso").
