The Jimmy Giuffre 3 (1957)
What a great record with the well known tune The Train and the River used in the film Jazz on a Summers Day. What I so enjoy about this record is the approach to combining jazz and Americana folk music together. I'm sure that Bill Frisell must have listened to this record many times, and especially due to the presence of Jim Hall. The titles themselves - The Crawdad Suite, The Green Country (New England Mood), Voodoo - evoke America in the same way that Bill Frisell's music does (especially the album This Land). At this stage Jimmy still plays Tenor, Baritone and Clarinet. I particularly like the piece called Two Kinds of Blues with the almost haunting clarinet melody which so lonesome in it's sound/melody. The trio at this stage was Jim Hall, Ralph Peña on bass and of course Jimmy as mentioned.
1. "Gotta Dance" (Giuffre) - 2:29
2. "Two Kinds of Blues" (Giuffre) - 5:10
3. "The Song Is You (Hammerstein, Kern) - 3:52
4. "Crazy She Calls Me" (Russell, Sigman) - 5:14
5. "Voodoo" (Giuffre) - 2:48
6. "My All" (Giuffre, Russell) - 4:09
7. "That's the Way It Is" (Giuffre) - 3:45
8. "Crawdad Suite" (Giuffre) - 7:10
9. "The Train and the River" (Giuffre) - 3:31
* Jimmy Giuffre - clarinet, tenor, baritone
* Ralph Pena - bass
* Jim Hall - guitar
