This Dvd is more of a concert, Jim plays several tunes with his Quartet, and then has a discussion after each one, explaining his thought process over the composition and showing you how he plays it.

This DVD features one jazz legend who is in the midst of the most creative stage of his already prolific career. Also appearing Thelonious Monk, Art Farmer, Lester Young, Ben Webster and Count Basie among others...

"Outside of the recording studio, Mr. Hall narrates his own life, with film footage of him playing with Jimmy Giuffre, Chico Hamilton, Sonny Rollins and other performers, as well as glimpses of Mr. Hall's domestic life with his wife and daughter. As he talks, he's measured in his self-assessment, and wryly funny; he's a reliable guide to his own career, and the film lets him tell most of the story." - Ben Ratliff, THE NEW YORK TIMES
