His recordings with Paul Desmond are real classics.

Hall's other great collaboration was with Art Farmer. There's a live clip of them here.

<><><<

Mosaic Records put out a compilation of every side those two cut together which I of course purchased.

Only saw him once live, at the Blue Note in NYC in the midst of a blizzard, 94 I think. His bass player couldnt get across the bridge from Jersey so it was a bassless trio that night. George Shearing opened.

Went to use the restroom and there was Jim, washing his hands. A little difficult to tell someone how much you admire them when they are washing their hands after peeing.

Ah, the things we remember.
