About
“Sometimes a great idea on paper—four virtuoso guitarists, representing several generations, play standards honoring the late jazz master Jim Hall—thrives in the real world too. That’s the case with Inspired” —JAZZIZ
Peter Bernstein, Ben Monder, and Rale Micic celebrate the legacy of Jazz legend/guitarist John Abercrombie and Jim Hall in a project called Inspired, creating an evening of exciting duets and solo guitar music. Three guitarists — different styles, different generations, different backgrounds, but all with one thing in common, respecting and continuing Jim Hall and John Abercrombie’s vision.
