Ben Allison & The Easy Way: The Music of Jim Hall & Jimmy Giuffre

Piedmont Piano Company is pleased to present

Ben Allison & The Easy Way
The Music of Jim Hall & Jimmy Giuffre

Both Jim Hall and Jimmy Giuffre wrote tunes that are perfect for having free-flowing and spontaneous musical conversations. Our group is modeled after Giuffre’s drummerless trios of the 1950s and 60s. As jazz was becoming more abstract, expressionistic and at times bombastic, Giuffre and Hall were going in the opposite direction. They were envisioning quieter music that embraced the emerging qualities of free playing, while maintaining elements of blues and folk. This music has a unique kind of sophisticated simplicity that has stood the test of time.
