Jim Hall and Petrucciani live "Beautiful Love"

[@ManabuTokunaga]

I just finished a improv class with Gary Burton at Berk and he highly recommended to listen to Jim Hall as a reference for guitar comping. I am a pianist so I am here to listen to both Michel and Jim. Without the drums on this particular track. I can listen into both of them well.

[@yoleoissei]

RIP Jim Hall. I was super happy to see your concert in NYC. I remember that I was worried because you showed up on stage in Birdland with a cane and your hands were shaking. However, as soon as you started to play the guitar, your fingers were moving like the master. I just loved your guitar play. And beside your autograph, you wrote me 平和, which means PEACE in Japanese. My life in New York was definitely with your music. You'll be missed. ジム・ホール。あなたの弾く優しいギターの音が大好きでした。もう聞けなくなってしまうと思うと残念でならない。何度かニューヨークでコンサートに行けたときは本当に幸せでした。 今まで本当にありがとう。

[@robertjacksonnuages]

this clip should be put in a 'time capsule'.....can anything be 'perfect'....IMHO.. this is the best it gets.....also when i listen to this ,its so reminds me of BILL EVANS/JIM HALL...'UNDERCURRENT'....

[@CTuxford]

Insane playing. Both guys were completely in sync. So there in the flow. I loved how both were more into the tune rather than trying to pose for the crowd. That's why they are maestros; the tune and music mean more than anything. The vamp intro was so cool. That stuff switches me on!

[@DJHLimtz]

Jim Hall,red carpet to surf on modes and rhythmic interpolations. Let Michel go where he wants and still is there for the providential chord. Awesome human being. Cool tribute,thanks.

[@saxnaprazdnik]

Beautiful music!!!! You will always remain in our memory, great jazz musicians!!!

[@mindisaction]

We'll be missing these genius for the rest of our lives!.

[@olivierubanell9199]

Subtlety, beauty, swing, demanding players with their own art... What else can we ask for in a world in which sordid and ugly imaginations triumph? The emotions aroused are so pure, so tender! Thank you Jim and Michel for having inhabited the earth. Your contribution to the world was very spiritual. We regret you a great deal.

[@Guitfiddlejase]

R.I.P Michel Petrucciani...beautiful comping behind Jim.

[@easguitar]

Jim Hall- master of the sparse and laconic line-unpredictable phrasing and the use of silence in between the notes. No one else like him...

[@MarcSt-Jean]

Agreed, but to me, without the occasional emphatic statement(read attack) it devolves into endless noodling.

[@Sludgepump]

What masters! They listen to each other so carefully. Tremendous.

[@richardlaird5263]

As good as it gets! RIP to both, what a gift to our World you are, so great!

[@edepillim]

Top class. My favorite guitarist. This sounds very similar to the Evans/Hall duo on Undercurrent.Michel is of course wonderful.

[@randallpmcmurphy7501]

I think Jim settles on a nice way to do something and puts it in his bag. I’ve heard him “repeat” arrangements or approaches a few times. It’s always such an elegant solution though.

[@MarcoCianchiCianchiguitar]

R.I.P.Jim Hall with the amazing Petrucciani!

[@BernieHolland-w4l]

This is just so beautiful - two guys really listening to each other and weaving such magic together - always digging deeper and unearthing exquisite gems - even though there may be guitarists who might have greater technical facility than Jim, there are very few who can come close to him in terms of pure musicality and conception - the world of music has been graced by his contribution - an artist in the truest sense of the word.

[@MarkR1957]

Well said. As a guitarist myself, I have no use for the "chops monsters" out there. I detest fast playing for it's own sake. Guys like Jim are far more impressive. I want to listen to something I can sink my mind into.

[@manuelcaldeiro6475]

MarkR1957 Absolutely agree music is feeling nothing to be about plaing fast or not....

[@gianlucapaul]

There's a great interview Jim does in which he talks about this often repeated compliment, "You so tasteful and you're not showing off by playing fast." And he responds, "I was trying to show off by playing as fast as I could!" It's kind of a joke but so many fast players are not listening that well and just playing licks. Picking the right notes is more important than burning a lick that other people have played.

[@afonsosousa2684]

Jim didn't lack technique at all, though. His hard bop playing on those Sonny Rollins records is incredibly good and always tasteful.

[@robertjacksonnuages]

HI FOLKS...having transcribed so much of JIM thru the years....believe u me ,,,his legato style is very difficult to do,,,,bless u JIM''''

[@MarkJKLawrence]

This gives me goosebumps. RIP Jim Hall

[@tomgrimm4882]

Beautiful and passionate playing by both men . Hall's sound is incredible !

[@desperatetimes5873]

So gorgeous it brings tears!

A beautiful collaboration of two artists!

[@TheVinciol]

one of the best moment in the all jazz history

[@zaenkmus]

I love these gentleman, how sweet it sounds..a class of it's own.

[@midnightpianoman]

Their sound conversation makes me really happy. Thank you for sharing this great video!

[@SquigglyJ0e]

Thanks for sharing this greatness. 2 of my favs and certainly all time legends of Jazz. @EVMC3577 Petrucciani had osteogenesis (brittle bone disease) and was short yes, forced to use a device to reach piano pedals. A concentrated musician, I'd say: large chest to host a big heart, generous head to contain deep knowledge and big hands for great skills. A man born to play.

[@JazzgutsVGvanKampen]

Two great maestro's communicating in a beautifull way making Art. It's a real pity Petrucciani left us much too soon such a great talent,but he left his Art behind on many video regisrtrations and we're so gratefull for that, Victor.

[@raneyjr]

Really channeling Evans Hall Undercurrents here. RIP Jim & Michel

[@elgringo696]

Love is beautiful, indeed. But unfortunately, not eternal. 7:31, exactly.

[@Deathss81]

For me, they're the best in the world.

[@djangowoof]

me too

[@syltyler]

I´m floating

[@jasminetomca]

I think when players are starting out, the focus is on acquiring knowledge; and as a young player, you never think you have enough. There's natural insecurity as you compare yourself to the giants you admire, so it often becomes a case of trying to prove yourself to yourself - players strive to be the fastest, or the most esoteric. With the seasoned masters you can see how it's not about acquiring and displaying knowledge, but rather getting your ego out of the way...

[@noidelaplatja]

what I like about this type of interpretations is that every note, chord, interplay is deeply thought and meaningful, what makes a masterpiece. YT is full of talented musicians with great technique but often their play sounds a bit vain. Not this case

[@pauliinamay]

10-12-2013 Today we receive the news. Jim and Petrucciani reunited where all the great are jamming already!

[@fransjansen7809]

out standing

[@wt3337]

love them!

[@alangonzalezmartinez8189]

Interesting chord changes. This is really cool!

[@arthurjohnblond]

Yes that`s beautiful love and for whole live...

[@jasminetomca]

..and just feeling the music, because they know the knowledge is there, and they dont have to think about it - like becoming fluent in a language. Also, after a while, striving to be 'the best' becomes a really empty pursuit - so instead of striving for 'higher, faster' the focus shifts to 'going deeper' - finding the music that's really in YOU, rather than trying to play what you're 'supposed to play', a la 'correct jazz' and other ridiculous paradigms. When you are hearing the person...

[@JazzGuitar420]

I fucking love Jazz!

[@renobaron]

just nice!

[@jasmoism]

woohaaa...great, great jazz giant !!!

[@sosogelovani]

how do they do that??? ohh maan!! ohhh maaaan!! ohh I love it!

[@bla8859]

The art of listening

[@sunwookim6568]

I love Petrucciani's chord voicing

[@Deathss81]

"If I can't be normal, I want to be extraordinary." (M. Petrucciani)

[@remijazz]

masterpiece...

[@Pieriv]

sublime

[@ifihaf2]

Listening music, fantastic :-)

[@evuono]

We lost a genius ! RIP Jim Hall

[@TheLukris]

son lo massssssss

[@MarkR1957]

Jim playing his D'Aquisto. Nice ~

[@letssharejazz6288]

There are weird questions in life. One of them is how come 12 people do not like this ? I am glad they are far from me, I could not stand them.

[@pappawheely]

hard to figure the thumbs thing is kinda confusing anyway...the music, is beyond some folks also, sigh

[@randallpmcmurphy7501]

Forgive them, Father. They know not what they do. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣

[@hp6031]

30 now... :(

[@joaquinfinck]

Bravo!!!

[@68lukka]

mostri sacri del jazz!

[@hyperswivel]

I wanna wander the streets of Paris with a great shiraz and Michel Petrucciani playing in my ears... or will that likely get me locked up?

[@journalcc]

wonderful! thanks fostexD160! 5 stars!

[@Major0254]

deux grands!!!!!

[@XerxesJigsaw]

I was particularly impressed with the rapid tradeoffs, sometimes only 1 beat each, just before they came back to the head for the last time. I'm always curious as to how much is planned ahead and how much is absolute improv. And yes, Jim's tone is divine.

[@djangowoof]

this was not rehearsed. never any time on the road. J

[@kribg1]

Man that little dude is killing them ivories
