Jimmy Guiffre 3 features the first version of Giuffre's 3.
With guitarist Jim Hall and either Ralph Pena or Jim Atlas on bass, Giuffre is heard on clarinet, tenor, and baritone.
The generally introverted music is wistful, has a fair amount of variety, and is melodic while still sounding advanced.
In addition to the nine original songs (including the earliest recording of Giuffre's classic folk song "The Train and the River").
An excellent introduction to Jimmy Giuffre's unique music.
