I still love the album and others he did in that era. With this exact sound, referring both to his equipment and his playing style.
It was great to be able to see, as well as hear, what he was doing.
I saw him live years later, and I remember thinking that he didn't use a huge number of chord grips, instead getting vast mileage out of a handful of them.
It's interesting how he uses thirds. In some situations he is careful to omit them, instead playing a fourth. But, he uses minor third intervals in unexpected ways which I haven't heard anybody else do quite the same way. Beautiful player. My personal all time favorite.

That 1964 clip is brilliant for seeing his chord voicings etc., one of these days I’m going to rip off everything he does there!

chico hamilton quintet, jimmy giuffre trio, jim hall-paul desmond quartet, jim hall-bill evans duos, art farmer, sonny rollins, etc...and all (95%- he used an lp on the earliest chico) with the p90 es 175 thru gibby amp
if he never recorded again. that output alone would make him a legend..and could be studied for years!!..stuff he did with giuffre was out of this world
cheers

Jim Hall's tone on Rollins' album "The Bridge" is to die for and one of my personal fav's for tone and playing. I always wondered whether his set-up on that album was different from his normal set up...
