Verve 519 564-2
This CD states that Jim Hall is the guitarist playing as part of the Paul Smith Quartet, with Smith on piano, Wilfred Middlebrook on bass and Gus Johnson on drums. The concert was recorded on Feb 13 1960. I remain unconvinced that it is Jim Hall playing although Dan Morgenstern (no less) says in the liner notes that it is Jim Hall but admits that his playing sounds like that of Herb Ellis.
Cook and Morton list Herb Ellis as the guitarist on this recording in their Penguin Guide to Jazz and it seems highly likely.
Liner notes do not have the best reputation for accuracy. Anyone have the authorative word on this?
