Hall moved with his family to Cleveland, Ohio, during his childhood. Hall's mother played the piano, his grandfather the violin, and his uncle the guitar. Jim began playing the guitar at the age of 10, when his mother gave him an instrument as a Christmas present. At 13 he heard Charlie Christian play on a Benny Goodman record, which he called his \"spiritual awakening\". As a teenager in Cleveland, he performed professionally, and also took up the double bass. Hall's major influences since childhood were tenor saxophonists Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young, Paul Gonsalves, and Lucky Thompson. While he copied out solos by Charlie Christian, and later Barney Kessel, it was horn players from whom he took the lead. In 1955, Hall attended the Cleveland Institute of Music, where he majored in composition, studying piano and bass in addition to theory. Jim Hall was a true original on the jazz spectrum, always experimenting and pushing ahead, and the albums featured on this new collection illustrate his musical prowess, innovative practices and acute talents perfectly. All originally released between 1959 and 1965, the eight records featured here in astounding re-mastered versions remain a pure delight, and this set works equally well for those new to Jim Hall's music and those already somewhat familiar. - Featuring 8 records released between 1959 and 1965, this 4CD set works equally well for those new to Jim Hall's music and those already familiar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStompin' at the Savoy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Things Ain't What They Used to Be\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e This Is Always\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Thanks for the Memory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tangerine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Stella By Starlight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e 9:20 Special\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Deep in a Dream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Look for the Silver Lining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Seven Come Eleven\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Arrowhead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Street Swingers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hot Buttered Noodling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Musicale Du Jour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Raney Day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jupiter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e He's Gone Away\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jacob's Ladder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e We Played at Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mother I Would Marry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Wandering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The House of the Rising Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hold on\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Streets of Laredo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Black Is the Color\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Dark Is the Night\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Pretty Little Horses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Gave My Love a Cherry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Abstraction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Piece for Guitar ; Strings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Variants on a Theme of John Lewis (Django): Variant I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Variant II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Variant III\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Variants on a Theme of Thelonious Monk (Criss-Cross): Variant I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Variant II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Variant III\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Variant IV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e My Funny Valentine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Hear a Rhapsody\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Dream Gypsy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Romain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Skating in Central Park\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Darn That Dream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hold Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Primera Vez\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Presente de Natal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Morning of the Carnival\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Este Seu Olhar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Betaminus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Move It\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e All Across the City\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Coisa Mais Linda\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e How About You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I've Got You Under My Skin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e My Man's Gone Now\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Turn Out the Stars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Angel Face\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jazz Samba\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e All Across the City\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Capricious\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Impromptu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Don't Go Down South\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Muffle Guffle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Free and Oozy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Paraphrase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Empty Ballroom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e At la Carrousel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50521843695890,"sku":"823564037028","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/jim-hall-jim-hall-the-early-albums-collection-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
