Jim Hall Trio Feat Enrico Pieranunz@ the Bluenotemilano

[evvivame]

...e io c'ero!!! =)

[SphereAcidBurn]

What kind of effect is he using

[Jazzyluca3001]

I guess he uses a Digitech Whammy to create this sound...

Look on other St Thomas performances (in trio), you can see him shortly working on a red pedal on the chair or table next to him.

I guess he owns a chorus pedal as well... :-)

[rmelono]

love to see him and sonny get back together. they're both still playing great.

[4578a]

It makes his guitar sound like steel drums to get that real authentic island sound.

[insubria24]

The Giovanni Monteforte's guitar it is not a Gibson E-175 but a GIBSON-L4 (Custom Shop 1987)

[nakajazz]

Thats Sonnys favorite !

[zinnington]

Man what a player!!! Long Live Jim

[bdcruzer]

Been a J Hall fan for 30yrs and he is still the best. not a fan of his newish effects interest tho. anybody know what guitar he is playing here? not his usual fare but could be his old es175 tho it does not look dark enough... borrowed?

[tommbil]

Dear bdcruzer about the guitar Jim Hall was using during his performance here I am with all the info. Actually the Gibson es-175 he was playing was not his old one but the one he was lent by Mr Giovanni Monteforte (an Italian Guitar player from Milan). On that night Jim explained his guitar was stilla t the airport coming from I don't remember where...That's why the guitar's colour seems so light.

Bye

[bdcruzer]

Tommbil, thanks, I thought I had heard something like that. Have you ever checked out "Live", old album with Don Thompson on bass. my favorite JH album. tho I just picked up an unknown double album with Ron Carter, live at Village West. nice

[lewisefranklin]

Calypso

[easguitar]

i think my two favorites are duo settings-with bill evans in "undercurrent" and ron carter in "alone together" jim hall`s uncanny sensitivity and keen listening powers give those two recordings an almost telepathic power. an immensely influential guitarist...

[gillyarchtop]

Jim is using the Digitech Whammy pedal set to playing a 5th above of whatever note he plays. Not an octave.

[bmsmith2]

No, those are octaves. Not fifths.

[chanwfat]

Jim is using an octaver effect to simulate the steel drum sound. I saw he uses a Digitech Whammy pedal in his instruction video. Doubling the note he played with an octave or even 2 octave above, it sounds very similar to the steel drum.

[tommbil]

The guit got a strange sound cause I was recorded with a digit camera...Think Jim was using the Super Octaver effect though.

[jthemump]

It's not your camera. Jim used a similar effect, meant to impersonate a steel drum and enhance the calypso nature of the piece, on the cd 'Magic Meeting,' which is a cd I return to time and time again. It has the same band as on this clip (I'm assuming that it was Lewis Nash unseen on drums from the style), minus Pieranunzi.

[ColonelColostomy]

That is a very odd sound the guitar is giving. Sounds like the Super Mario theme.

[NormanMac]

is the name of the piece 'st.thomas'?

[bjedwards]

St. Thomas, by the our man rollins

[mateiko]

i love jim hes the man!
