Additional quotes by Jim Hall (musician)

For many listeners and admirers, Hall's burnished tone and understated approach connote the sonic equivelant of watercolors, haiku, or gentle poetic lyrics. Known as much for the notes he doesn't play, Hall is a complete original. That delicate, sensitive style, with its exquisite note choices, introspective moods, and disciplined restraint, has been his calling card and lasting legacy as generations of ostentatious technicians have come and gone through the turn of history.
