Tom Hall

Tom Hall (baritone & tenor saxophones & music educator) has been an active professional musician since his teens when he played a weekly gig at the Ebony Inn with Ohio Hung Jury, a Washington, DC funk band. He moved to Boston in 1976 to attend New England Conservatory, where he studied with Joe Allard, {{m: Jaki Byard = 3798}}, {{Jimmy Guiffre}}, {{George Russell}}, and {{m: Ernie Wilkins = 11362}}. It was during these years he first studied free improvisation. He was the co-founder of Ensemble Garuda, whose members included percussionist {{Sam Bennett}}, trumpeter {{m: Frank London = 8848}}, and Brazilian cellist Jaques Morelenbaum. This group met for years, with the sole purpose of an intensive exploration of improvisation. In 1979, shortly before graduation from NEC, he co-founded Your Neighborhood Saxophone Quartet (1979-1997) with {{m: Steve Adams = 3268}}, {{m: Allan Chase = 5656}}, and Circe Miller (other members of the group over the years included Ben Schachter, Joel Springer, Douglas Yates and Bob Zung)
