"Some music stays unreleased for a good reason. I already own a good 30 to 40 recordings by "Uncle Jim" and I've seen him in concert 10 times. And this is most definitely the most disappointing JHall experience I have ever come across. First of all, these sessions with Buddy Collette only feature JHall as a sideman(although it's always great to hear his comping) and secondly, Collette's 4 flute arrangements of movie themes and the arrangements of the Porgy & Bess repertoire are quite banal and at times painful to listen to (it pains me to say this about Eric Dolphy's mentor). The only thing that saves this cd is the 4 tracks by the Chico Hamilton group. The only reason that I won't sell this cd used is that I want to have a complete collection of Hall's recordings...
