Louis Stewart with Jim Hall - THE DUBLIN CONCERT. Unique 1982 Live Recording of 2 Guitar Masters 

THE DUBLIN CONCERT is a previously unreleased album of Louis Stewart and Jim Hall recorded live in concert to a delighted Dublin audience on 26th December 1982. Tapes discovered in 2022 have been carefully digitized and mastered to present the captivating, empathetic and poetic playing of this outstanding duo.

This album will be a delight for Louis Stewart and Jim Hall fans alike as it is the only known recording of them performing together.

The concert was hastily arranged when it was learned that Jim was holidaying in Ireland. It is believed that Jim and Louis met in 1981 during Stewart’s New York Bechet’s residency. Louis was big admirer of Jim, particularly the duet albums with Bill Evans.

Both musicians had previously recorded in duet settings. Though masters in different styles, they carefully listened and complimented each other. “Look at what Santa brought us for Christmas” is how Louis introduced Jim. The onstage recording set up was simple, just a mic on each guitar amp.
