Jim Hall In Berlin/It's Nice To Be With You.

Just a brief heads-up for Jim Hall fans.

Jim's album "Jim Hall In Berlin/ It's Nice To Be With You" has had a lower priced CD re-issue as of last month.

It's from 1969, and features Jimmy Woode (b) and the great Daniel Humair (d).

I had to recommend this because it includes possibly the greatest recording of "Body & Soul" that I can think of by any guitarist.

Available here:

Amazon.com: Jim Hall: ItS Nice to Be with You: Music

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Its-Nice-You...words=jim+hall

Ps. Can't help but think the Bockwurst sign in the background, and the smirk on Jim's face, on the cover is an in-joke:rolleyes:..Well.. it was the late 60's...... Carry On Jim...

Sounds like something for the wish list. Love his playing and his sound on this - the title track is on youtube:

You're not saying what i think you're saying about that cover?:redface-new:
I've looked at the cover, and never had any thoughts along those lines.:doh:
It would be even more intense if that chick was the actress Jeanie Berlin...:rolleyes:

I doubt that the joke was along those lines considering that the 'chick' is Jim's daughter, Devra. Incidentally, his wife wrote the title tune.

I take it all back, maybe I just watched too many "Carry On" movies over Christmas.

Either that, or maybe I spent too long reading that thread on "ridiculous album covers" in the "Everything Else" section.

Now this is getting really twisted; Jan Hall is a psychoanalyst, what with Freudian symbolism and all, this could be some kind of message from her...
This could be a good idea for a psycho-thriller.
Then again, Freud did say that sometimes a Brockwurst is just a Brockwurst...:boom:

This thread is bringing out the wurst in people.

And there were some great links on it as well.....:triumphant:

This recording is also available from Amazon as a digital download for $5.99.

is it Devra or did you accidently hit the V next to the B key when you were typing?
anyway, I've had the album for yrs. and always thought it was his wife Jane Hall in the pic...
sounds like I stand corrected...

No, Devra Hall Levy is her name (she married George Shearing's original bassist, the late John Levy).

there are two of him on e.g. funny valentine - that's unusual isn't it against the rules? - jimmy raney did it somewhere too didn't he (i.e. double track)?

Hall of Mirrors? Yes, Jimmy Raney's "Solo" album contains overdubbed duets making the title something of a misnomer.
