You're right. I only listened to this track for the first time this morning. Now around midnight I felt the need to listen to it for the umpteenth time.

After listening to this more than a hundred times i must say this is the monalisa of music. the great art. the highest level. truly masterpiece. at first i just loved some part and don't really like the rest. but after listening to it many time it changed me. the least part became my most loved part. the more you listen the more you understand the whole story and it was perfect in every note and perfect from start to the end.

@@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😂

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.

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.

Dear Jane Hall, thank you for sharing this insight with the world. I so share your gladness that your dear late husband recorded this exquisite piece. The image of all the musicians being mesmerised really explains the uniquely cohesive and hypnotic feel to it. It's as if the same spirit was playing all the parts simultaneously, so much that they all seem to be collectively entranced. A beautiful image. Peace.

Steve Gadd shows why he never lacked for work, the cat just lays down a groove perfectly in sync with Ron Carter and Sir Roland Hannah. One of Desmond's best solos, ever, ethereal and moving.

Recorded and produced by the CTI jazz label. This is a 1975 Jim Hall recording by CTI records, created by the great record producer Creed Taylor, who prior to CTI created Impulse records, of the famed John Coltrane recordings. Hall's Concierto is now celebrating it's 40th anniversary of this recording. During the 60's and 70's some of the best jazz ever was recorded on the CTI jazz label. The songs on Hall's Concierto recording were arranged by the great CTI arranger Don Sebesky, and the recording engineer was the very well known Rudy Van Gelder.

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.
