Careful - The Music of Jim Hall

The Midnight Espresso invites you to step into an intimate jazz lounge for a carefully curated evening of live music and craft mixology.

Jazz Nights by The Midnight Espresso is a live jazz session designed for those who value atmosphere, artistry and quality over crowds. With only 44 tickets available, this experience brings you up close to exceptional musicians while you enjoy expertly crafted cocktails in a historical setting.

On this Saturday, the program is dedicated to the music of Jim Hall. One of the most influential guitarists in the history of jazz, Hall studied at the Cleveland Institute of Music and classical guitar with Vincente Gomez. The guitarist first gained attention during 1955-1956 as an original member of the Chico Hamilton Quintet, one of the major West Coast chamber-jazz groups. Hall followed that up by being with a few versions of the Jimmy Giuffre Three during 1956-1959 including a period when the group was a trio consisting of Giuffre’s reeds, valve trombonist Bob Brookmeyer and Hall’s guitar, which functioned as the entire rhythm section. Hall also worked with Ella Fitzgerald, Lee Konitz, Sonny Rollins (recording the classic album The Bridge), Art Farmer, and Paul Desmond in addition to working in New York as a studio musician.

Bruno Santos on guitar, Tomás Marques on saxophone, Romeu Tristão on bass and Alexandre Frazão on drums perform a selection of Hall’s compositions and repertoire associated with his distinctive approach to jazz guitar.
