Our Take

Jim Hall Trio's San Francisco 1986 album takes listeners on a whimsical journey through the vibrant jazz scene of the 80s. Hall's masterful guitar playing is accompanied by Steve LaSpina on the bass and Terry Clarke on drums, creating a dynamic trio that knows how to keep the audience grooving.

From the uplifting swing of "All the Things You Are" to the soulful balladry of "Aruba", each track on this record showcases the trio's undeniable musical chemistry. Hall's intricate melodies are expertly woven throughout, with LaSpina and Clarke providing a solid rhythm that keeps the songs moving along at a lively pace.

The standout track has to be the whimsical "Bemsha Swing", where Hall's guitar truly shines, demonstrating his unique ability to blend technical prowess with emotional depth. The trio's energy is infectious, drawing listeners in and making them want to dance along.

Overall, San Francisco 1986 is a testament to Jim Hall's incredible talent and the lasting impact he has had on the jazz world. This album is a must-listen for any fan of the genre, offering a delightful journey through a bygone era of music that is sure to leave a smile on your face. Utterly charming and endlessly enjoyable, this record is a true gem in the vast world of jazz music.
