The Jim Hall Trio LP "Jazz Guitar" recorded in 1957 with pianist Carl Perkins and bassist Red Mitchell has appeared in various forms (including a re-issue with drums dubbed on) but this is the first time that all the tracks cut at the session have been put together unabridged on one CD.
This outstanding early album was made when Hall was attracting attention on the West Coast scene playing with Jimmy Guiffre.The disc also contains five bonus tracks made at various times with pianist John Lewis.

Review
by Scott Yanow
This 1982 two-LP set 14 previously unissued alternate takes of Wes Montgomery recordings from his days on Riverside.
This
attractive two-fer does give listeners a strong overview of the great
guitarist's early recordings, including numbers with tenor saxophonist
Johnny Griffin, an organ trio with Mel Rhyne, a collaboration with
vibraphonist Milt Jackson, meetings with his musical brothers Buddy and
Monk, three quintet selections with James Clay and Victor Feldman, and
an alternate version of "Tune Up" on which Montgomery is heard with a
string section.
