Gatefold Sleeve. Catalog Number: 810548 Color: Black Format: LP UPC: 8435395504598 Produced by Creed Taylor and originally issued on the CTI label in 1975, Jim Hall's Concierto followed the path of Miles Davis' celebrated Sketches of Spain in presenting, among other tunes, an arrangement of Joaquin Rodrigo's "Concierto de Aranjuez."The LP was an all-star venture, with Hall accompanied by such luminaries as Chet Baker, Paul Desmond, Roland Hanna, Ron Carter and Steve Gadd. Desmond had a long history of recording with the guitarist, but this was Hall and Baker's first out of just two recorded encounters. Concierto received a **** 1/2 rating on AllMusic, with reviewer Anthony Tognazzini stating that it "ranks among the best albums of Hall's superb catalogue and the personnel is a jazz lover's dream come true."
