	Jimmy Giuffre: Cry Freedom
		Giuffre says, “My feeling was at that time some drummers were so unrelenting and they weren’t all that creative in terms of what he wanted to do.
		Giuffre, “and so she commissioned him to write some things for dance and he was actually on stage with her, playing.
		Jimmy always believed you should not have to be aware of the music, that it just should draw you into whatever the movie’s about.

	[minstrels] Jimmy Giuffre Plays 'The Easy Way' -- Adrian Mitchell
		Giuffre graduated from North Texas State Teachers College (1942), played in an Army band during his period in the service and then had stints with the orchestras of Boyd Raeburn, Jimmy Dorsey and Buddy Rich.
		Giuffre had a minor hit with his recording of "The Train and the River," a song that he played during his notable appearance on the 1957 television special The Sound of Jazz.
		Giuffre, who started late in life playing flute and soprano and seems to have made a career out of playing surprising music, reunited with Bley and Swallow in 1992.

	Jimmy Giuffre Biography : OLDIES.com
		Giuffre also began to explore the world of composition, writing both film scores (Music Man) and neo-classical third-stream pieces, such as "Pharoah" and "Suspensions", both recorded by Gunther Schuller.
		In 1990, Giuffre, his frail appearance proving deceptive, was in fine musical form at the South Bank Jazz Festival in Grimsby, England, where he premiered a new work, "Timeless", commissioned by the festival organizers.
		Giuffre's playing of many of the lesser-known members of the saxophone family, and especially the bass clarinet (The Jimmy Giuffre Clarinet), have helped to give his work unusual and frequently sombre shadings.

	The Jimmy Giuffre 3 - The Easy Way
		Hall was the perfect choice to complement Giuffre’s style, since he has also made a career out of a unique soft and gentle sound.
		Giuffre accents the lower registers of both his clarinet and sax here, which together with the low tones of both Hall and Brown results in some sexy, almost suggestive moods.
		Giuffre composed six of the nine tunes and the trio dug into all of them spontaneously in the studio.

	Amazon.com: Jimmy Giuffre 3: Music: Jimmy Giuffre (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Jimmy Giuffre seems to have become an extremely overlooked and unfortunately forgotten master within his genre.
		Giuffre, Hall and Pena have a simpatico that is almost mystical.
		Giuffre's tone on all the horns is richly textured, and Pena's bass lines perfectly punctuate the unique melodies Giuffre creates in the playbook, but it is Hall's guitar work that really makes the proceedings come alive.

	JIMMY GIUFFRE
		One is that Jimmy Giuffre was an important and innovative jazz musician and composer, and this collection contains at least 90% of his best and most important recordings -- only one single album of which has been available previously on CD (THE JIMMY GIUFFRE 3, on Atlantic).
		Giuffre played clarinet on that piece -- an instrument which he had only recently picked up, and on which he felt comfortable (in control) only in its lower register.
		The first was not unique to Giuffre: it was the classical-training-inspired use of counterpoint and fugal devices, taken straight from Baroque music.

	Ink 19 :: Jimmy Giuffre
		Giuffre tends to go for a relaxed, angular form of improvisation.
		"Giuffre," says Penguin, "often sounds as if he is in a world of his own, intensely focused, totally aware, but communicating ideas for which there was no ready-made language or critical rhetoric." Most people can only take so much of this stuff, because it abandons the whole notion of improvising over a rhythmic foundation.
		The downside of such an approach is that it leaves no time signature or other reference point for the listener; the upside is that said absence creates a vortex of expectation which allows you to concentrate on the music, rather than trying to anticipate its direction.

	Jimmy Giuffre : OLDIES.com
		A graduate of the North Texas College in 1942, Giuffre entered the US Army where he gained professional band experience playing saxophones and clarinet.
		It was with Herman that Giuffre gained most attention, both as a member of the saxophone section and as the composer of "Four Brothers", which gave that particular Herman band its tag.
		Giuffre appeared at the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival and in the filmed record of the event, Jazz On A Summer's Day (1960), playing his own composition "The Train And The River".

	Amazon.ca: Jimmy Giuffre with Jim Hall: Music: Jimmy Giuffre & Jim Hall (Site not responding. Last check: )
		This CD is similar to the Atlantic release "Jimmy Giuffre 3", except for the last 4 tracks, and it's missing the fabulous rendition of the Dubin/Warren "Forty-second Street", which was a "bonus track" on "3".
		Why Giuffre didn't receive the fame of some of his contemporaries is a mystery to me. His genius was extraordinary, but perhaps this quiet Texan was too quiet in personality to catch the media's attention...or perhaps, that's the way he wanted it.
		The potential buyer should be aware that this CD has been previously released as "The Jimmy Giuffre 3" on Atlantic.

	The History of Jazz Music. Jimmy Giuffre: biography, discography, review, links
		All of Giuffre's directions merged in his trio with pianist Paul Bley and bassist Steve Shallow, that developed a meditative and minimal free-jazz style with an elastic concept of time.
		Dragonfly (january 1983), Quasar (may 1985) and Liquid Dancers (april 1989) were representative of the Jimmy Giuffre 4 (Peter Levin on electronic keyboards, plus bass and percussion), that basically adapted his cool jazz to the age of ambient music.
		Conversations with a Goose (may 1996) reunited him with Bley and Swallow.

	JIMMY GIUFFRE - THE EASY WAY - Musicdirect
		Originally released on Verve in 1959, Giuffre's work (clarinet/sax) from this time is known for his lyrical tone and intimate chamber-jazz settings.
		Giuffre switches between clarinet, alto and baritone sax on this album; all the while being backed by Jim Hall on guitar and bass god Ray Brown.
		This recording was recorded spontaneously in the studio: six of the nine compositions were contributed by Giuffre, and one by Jim Hall, leaving the light and airy "Mack The Knife", and the toned down "Come Rain Or Come Shine", both of which have taken on evergreen status in the history of jazz.

	Jimmy Giuffre
		Giuffre has given us many examples of his playful way with fugues and rondos and, at least to my ear, always has managed to keep the music sounding fresh, even though a great deal of it is hung upon traditional architecture.
		That achievement is fascinating, because now, in his 80th year, a backward glance over his career as a clarinetist, saxophonist and flautist reveals much to be admired.
		But his ideas always have had a quiet intelligence about them, that gives Giuffre's work the character of the advanced creative child in nursery school who prefers the quiet corner alone so that he can construct a labyrinth with his Legos while the other kids smudge their faces with finger paint.

	Jimmy Giuffre : Thesis - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Giuffre's solo is a contrapuntal arpeggio study that alternating mode and interval along with Swallow, coloring in open the chords of Bley with stutters and long runs up and down the horn both in and out of scalar logic.
		Bley's established 6/8 swings over to Swallow and allows Giuffre his 18/8 solo in arpeggiated flurries and a timbral twist that carries the tone of the upper register near the middle register of a soprano saxophone.
		Bley's 12-tone influences are present too, with striking work in the middle register with the right hand; trills and eighth note runs alternate but never before the rest of the notes in the scale are played.

	Amazon.com: The Jimmy Giuffre Clarinet: Music: Jimmy Giuffre (Site not responding. Last check: )
		One of the truly underrated jazz musicians in the modern idiom, Jimmy Giuffre occupies an important position as an innovative and experimental composer, to be sure, but he is, above all, a tremendously soulful performer.
		While this `50s album may be said to adumbrate Giuffre's monumental "folk-jazz" compositions or the slightly later "The Jimmy Giuffre Three," it stands on its own in terms of its unique contribution in the history of jazz clarinet playing.
		Almost a half century ago, Giuffre opted for "soft jazz" (no relation to the ersatz "smooth jazz" of today!), which on this disc is as powerful and moving as any jazz you'll ever hear.

	CD Review of Jimmy Giuffre - The Jimmy Giuffre Clarinet on Collectables @ jazzreview.com
		His career winds from the 1940s to ‘01 and his music never stood still, Jimmy Giuffre remains one of the most interesting and underrated jazz musician/composers around.
		He’s got many winds in his arsenal, but here he concentrates solely on the titular instrument in solo, duo, trio and mini-big band contexts.
		J.G.’s clarinet is warmly resonant — concentrating on the lower registers it sometimes sounds a bit like a baritone sax or an oboe — which, despite the “soft” (his word, not mine) nature of these performances, is a commanding presence.
