Experience the magic of guitar music with this reissue of Jim Hall’s 1969 trio recording, Intimate Jazz Moments: Live in Berlin. Hall, a towering figure in the jazz guitar pantheon, was revered for his profound influence on countless musicians before his passing in 2013. This album captures a unique musical gathering, largely thanks to the friendship between Hall and the esteemed German writer and producer Joachim-Ernst Berendt.
During a visit in June 1969, Berendt realized that it had been over a decade since Hall had released an album solely under his name. He organized a trio session featuring renowned musicians including bassist Jimmy Woode and drummer Daniel Humair. The result? One of the top live jazz recordings to own, filled with introspective melodies and rich harmonies. Humair aptly described Hall’s playing: he delivered “more clarity, more purity, more sensitivity” than any other guitarist of his time. This album is a must-have for any fan of classic jazz albums to buy.
