@@Suggsonbasshow should i explain i mean at the very basic this song combine classical and jazz, two most highest level music known to mankind. And yes you have to listen to the original song to understand it better before you switch to these one. But it is like you already know the story of concierto de aranjuez through joaquin rodriguez for a very longtime, suddenly there is someone else (jim halll and the band) come to you and tell you actually what you know about concierto de aranjuez all this year is just a surface of it. They know something that no one know about the real story of concierto de aranjuez. Even the founder of it joaquin didn’t know about the real story. So let me and my man tell you the real story. They left you in a kind of shock you know. Because all this year your heart is so confirm that what you recieve from joaquin is ‘the story’. But now you know that the real story is more sad, so emotional, so intense. That’s how i describe about this song. By the way sorry for my bad english😂

I first heard this wonderful piece of music on KKGO 105.1 in Los Angeles while I was on my way home from work. I turned my car around and drove to the now defunct Music City at Sunset and Vine. I purchased the vinyl album that I replaced over and over. I still have one album, cassette and CD. I listen to Concierto at least once a week and have for 39 years. Mr. Hall, where ever you are, thank you so much.

Being a classical music fan, I am very well acquainted with Rodrigo and Concierto de Aranjuez. It is a beautiful piece Rodrigo wrote and the second movement, according to his wife, was written with an undertone of his thoughts about their honeymoon and her miscarriage of their first child. That actually perfectly explains the beauty and the sadness of this piece. The first time I heard Jim Hall's version of this piece was when I was on my way home from work and it came on the radio (WDCB). A couple of minutes after the opening, I was overwhelmed by the beauty of the arrangement, despite having listened to the original numerous times. I pulled into a parking lot so that I could listen to the piece undisturbed and without any distractions. By the middle of this recording I was sobbing, not only because I was enjoying the beauty within, but also thinking about Rodrigo's state of mind. Jim hall did a magic arrangement of this piece and it'll live forever in my head until I die. Having said all this, my biggest beef with this recording is that I believe the bass is out of tune. I never noticed it until I listened to it loudly on proper speakers, but either the bass is out of tune (first noticeable at 3:39-3:54), or Carter is moving his finger up the string before the note's over. It's a bit annoying now that I have heard it and takes a little effort to look past it and not look for it through the rest of the piece, but nevertheless the piece remains amazing still.

Google translates what was in japanese i guess: Paul I have respect in your way of thinking about the essence of your life Jazz, I am a member of course the greatest super sessions and super groups, but the leaders JIMs are dead and sad. This Aranjuez remains forever and can be heard anytime, where I like C Baker, where his solo ends, turning into a piano's R Hana's solo, my personal aesthetics, beautiful aloof I just feel a sense of melody.
