Timeless Music Concerts

Among the many Concerts produced by Jazz Link Enterprises was one dedicated to the late Jim Hall. Jim was a giant as a guitarist and as a person. The men pictured above from left to right include: Dale Bruning, guitar; Mark Patterson, trombone; Ron Miles; cornet; Bill Frisll; guitar; (hidden behind Ron) Mark Simon, bass; and Paul Romaine, drums. This is a video that can be seen on youtube. It was also made into a CD: Thanks for the Memory…Jim Hall.

“Music is magic,” so said colleague and friend Bill Frisell. In Dale's hands, this is true every time he plays.
