Recorded in the wee hours of Good Friday 1960, this charming and impromptu Pacific Jazz session captured the easygoing alchemy of The Modest Jazz Trio featuring Jim Hall on guitar, Red Mitchell on piano, and Red Kelly on bass. Good Friday Blues would be the trio\u2019s sole album, a sublimely swinging date that did indeed begin with the modest expectations of capturing a single track for a blues anthology that Richard Bock was producing. But the vibe was right, the trio was inspired, the music flowed, and by morning they had laid down six tracks including a pair of originals by Mitchell and renditions of songbook standards including \u201cWillow Weep For Me,\u201d \u201cI Remember You,\u201d and \u201cI Was Doin\u2019 Alright.\u201d The drum-less setting allows Hall\u2019s gorgeous, subtle tone and melodic flow to shine while Mitchell\u2014who was primarily known as a bassist\u2014surprises with his impressive piano chops, and Kelly provides a sturdy base.<\/p>\n
