That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s when an unusual string section consisting of six cellos and six violas played on three compositions: a Jim Hall original titled October Song, an arrangement of John Lewis\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 &#8220;Django&#8221; featuring Jim along with guitarist Peter Bernstein, and &#8220;Goodbye&#8221; by Gordon Jenkins featuring Joe Lovano on clarinet and soprano saxophone.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Go <a href=\"http:\/\/www.devradowrite.com\/?cat=12\"target=\"_blank\">here <\/a>for all of Devra\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s comments.

And there was tenor saxophonist Joe Lovano, who teamed with the honoree for the saxman&#8217;s &#8220;Blackwell&#8217;s Message.&#8221; Hall soloed with ideas that ranged between abstract and grounded.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>All of Stewart\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s review is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nj.com\/entertainment\/ledger\/index.ssf?\/base\/entertainment-0\/1122095580138540.xml&#038;coll=1\"target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DevraDoWrite went to guitarist Jim Hall\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s concert last night at the 92nd Street Y in New York.
