Not his best effort

(3 out of 5 stars)
"3 1/2 stars.Jim Hall playing chart-heavy, progressive chamber-jazz? Doesn't work for me. Only occasional swing, little energy, dicey concept. Other aggravations: Too many cooks (liner notes indicate Jim's wife, his agent, Gil Goldstein, a transcriber); misleading credits (artists prominently displayed on jewel box credits, such as Joe Lovano, end up playing on one cut.But it's still Jim Hall, certainly one of the finest ever jazz guitarists. And it does pick up somewhat after a slow start. Still, probably for Hall completists only."
