Jazz Album Reviews: Two Remarkable Duets — Charlie Haden/Jim Hall, Kenny Barron/Dave Holland

Jim Hall sounds at his best on these newly issued duets. So does Charlie Haden, whose plangent sound has rarely, if ever, been captured so well.

By: Michael Ullman Filed Under: Featured, Jazz, Music Tagged: albums, Charlie Haden, Dave Holland, duets, Jim Hall, Kenny Barron, The Art of Conversation

Jazz CD Reviews: John Scofield’s “Überjam Deux” and Dave Holland’s “Prism”

Dave Holland’s Prism tells stories, several of which are very effective. Scofield’s, like his earlier Überjam releases, extends the jam-band esthetic into jazz without completely giving in to it. And neither of them would be as they are without the great looming shadow of Miles Davis.
