Jazz Guitar is the debut album by jazz guitarist Jim Hall, recorded in early 1957 for the Pacific Jazz label.[1][2][3] It is composed mostly of standards.[4] Hall's group for the original recording sessions was a guitar/piano/bass trio, an instrumental combination popularized by Nat King Cole in the 1940s, and previously used by the poll-winning guitarist Tal Farlow on two notable albums recorded in 1956 for Norgran and Verve.
