The Modest Jazz Trio - Good Friday Blues (Blue Note Tone Poet Series) (LP)

Good Friday Blues captures the spontaneous magic of The Modest Jazz Trio—Jim Hall, Red Mitchell, and Red Kelly—during a late-night Los Angeles session in 1960. The group’s only album, it brings together the trio’s relaxed interplay and melodic intuition, with Hall’s signature guitar tone taking center stage in this drum-less setting.

This inspired session features a mix of engaging originals by Mitchell and elegant interpretations of timeless songbook standards, all beautifully rendered with warmth and subtle swing. Jazz lovers will appreciate the unique chemistry, laid-back vibes, and historical significance of this charming Pacific Jazz recording, enhanced by a thoughtful "Retrospectives in real time" insert by Thomas Conrad.
