Edmond Hall (clarinet)About
Profoundly Blue presents a portrait of Edmond Hall’s best work during his prime years, from 1937 to 1944. The title track is one of the altogether remarkable performances of his 1941 Celeste Quartet with Meade Lux Lewis and Charlie Christian (Jammin’ In Four). He is then heard with bands led by Billie Holiday (Me, Myself and I), Lionel Hampton (My Buddy), Red Allen (Down In Jungle Town), Zutty Singleton (King Porter Stomp) and Coleman Hawkins with Art Tatum (Esquire Blues).
A dozen tracks emanate from the great sessions Edmond Hall had leading his own groups in 1943 and 1944: his Blue Note Jazz Men with Vic Dickenson and James P. Johnson (High Society), his Sextet with Emmett Berry (The Man I Love), his All Star Quintet with Red Norvo (Rompin’ in ’44), his Swingtet with the great baritone sax of Harry Carney (It’s Been So Long) and finally his Quartet with the elegant Teddy Wilson (Caravan). Benny Goodman himself was once quoted as saying: “For jazz clarinet give me Ed Hall – his feel for hot music is perfect!”
