Back In The Swing

On March 19, 2009 Jim Hall played his first public concert in over a year. Spinal fractures and major surgery were the cause of his long absence and required a extensive rehabilitation. Reviews of the March concert at the Library Of Congress were great — here’s one from Jazz.com — and he’s looking forward to his May engagements in Japan.

Hemispheres

Jim’s latest recording project — perhaps his most adventurous to date – is now available. This double-CD features duo tracks with Bill Frisell on one disc, and a quartet with bassist Scott Colley and drummer Joey Baron rounding out the sounds on disc two. Hemipheres is Jim’s third ArtistShare project where fans can experience the behind-the-scenes creativity through online image galleries, streaming audio and video clips, plus lots of downloadable files. But if all you want is to order the CD, you can do that too; just click here to order online.
