I heard sad news that Jim Hall passed away this morning (10. December 2013). R.I.P. great master of guitar and music.

As Bill Evans said, jazz is a process, not a style.

It seems Japan is one of the major countries in the world who appreciates jazz musicians from America and invites them to perform and provides large audiences.

We are so lucky to live in the age of recording, so that we can enjoy the work of great artists like this even after they have departed.

Thanks for all the great music, Jim.  You probably played less notes in your career than some guitarists do in a week, but your notes were better.

14:50 that smile when jim finds out he owns his first record.

Rest in peace, Jim Hall.  You will be missed for centuries to come!

Finally we found Satoshi Nakamoto! He’s just chillin and playing guitar with Jim Hall.

True, the great thing about jazz is, be it guitar, piano or the horn, this music style is so much evolved over the years, that  it can grab any fuckin' tune and turn it on its head and make it sound "all jazz". But jazz musicians have to work the hardest to achieve that virtuosity. Because jazz music involves a quagmire of myriad queries and answers. I concur with Jim Hall - expanding short ideas into questions and questions with am answer here and there. True,learning jazz is life time process.

I need start writing at the walls: "Jim Hall is god"

I don't read the news, I read poetry😂

Both players are masters here!  The opening blues is one of the finest jazz guitar duets you will ever hear. And the tone....

Thanks for posting this video. I took lessons with JIm in 1974. I miss him.

His touch and his humility are timeless.

This is a pearl! What a master class! I love Jim Hall! What a person! He shares very significant stuffs here! What a simplicity to pass the message! I'm in love with this video! When I saw this video for the first time I didn't understand english and only watched his beautiful fingers moving up and down the arm, hypnotized by the sound coming from his guitar. His playing is amazing. Always amazing! The notes come from his heart, but he also can theoryze everything. I spend full days listening to his music. I just can't get enough. Thanks so much Jim, your legacy in music will never forgot.

Still coming back to this years later for guidance. What a master.

really enjoyed the comping by both players.   Satoshi makes me feel confident that
the future of jazz guitar is in good hands....great hands, in fact.  one 'o the fine young  talents on the scene.  glad i discovered him here.

The Old Master,  rest in Peace and many thanks...

R.I.P Jim Hall... Such a wonderful artist and musician.  Thanks for your contributions, and condolences to the Hall family.  God bless!

Jim Hall, the unsung hero of Jazz on Guitar. So underrated, it saddens me.

What I love is, these instructional videos usually have a bunch of solo or duet or  small group playing from your faves
