1.Alone Together by: Jim Hall/Ron Carter November 15, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: £10.49 Prices subject to change. Used Price: £6.30
This recording seems to reveal something new to me everytime I listen to it. Halls seemingly effortless flow of beautiful melodic and rhytmic statements are held aloft by Carters impecable time as ideas are tossed playfully from four strings to six and then into the ether, where they hang like organic sculptures to be viewed by whomever has the patience to look a little deeper than surface level. Hall and Carter have opened a portal with this recording, that allows us to view beauty and simplicity previously unavailable in this dimension.

The first Evans-Hall duo album, Undercurrent, was too good to be a one-off and so a few years later they made this follow-up. Whether it’s as good as Undercurrent is a matter of opinion. Both artists are in good form, which is recommendation enough. However, there’s a degree less warmth and depth in the recording than on Undercurrent and it may be this that makes the playing on Intermodulation seem a bit more detached and cerebral. There are good things here, though. I like the oblique approach to ” I Get a Kick out of You”, which begins with a nicely shaped improvised chorus from Hall on the familiar chord sequence and only states the tune directly at the end. Both artists seem to play with more relaxation and ... Read More:

Yes I know that is a sweeping statement when you think of all the greats of jazz guitar, Reinhardt, Christian, Montgomery, Mclaughlin and Metheny etc etc. BUT this guy is seriously, seriously phenomenal not just in his impeccable technique but also in his melodic precision and harmonic awareness; he's an absolute monster player.The guy just has it all, no wrong notes in there under the guise of "outside" playing; every one of Smith's notes counts, no fillers His chord melody is gorgeous as well! I am a jazz guitarist and know how hard it is presently even with all the influences we have to listen to, but back in the fifties and with his ability to play perfectly over the changes....Phew! How did he learn the changes so well??? ... Read More:
