Jazz Live in Italy: Jimmy Giuffre Trio in Rome (1959)


During his european tour, organized in 1959 by Norman Granz, Jimmy Giuffre (1921-2008) had with his unusual trio a concert in Rome, june 19, at Teatro Adriano.


We can show here the most part of that exibition with a young Jim Hall, guitar and Buddy Clark, bass.
The first "tema" was a composition of John Lewis taken by the repertory of the Modern Jazz Quartet. Before an introduction of the concert, in a good italian, by Norman Granz.


The second tune is the well known composition of Giuffre: Four Brothers, famous for the four saxes arrangement, that he made for the Woody Herman orchestra.


The following tune is a composition of Jim Hall: Careful


The new tune is another original composition by Giuffre: Princess


A new one original composition by Giuffre: The Little Melody


The exibition was concluded with Time Machine by Giuffre


For that I know the Trio with Buddy Clark never was recorded in studio, so those videos are the only existing attestation.
