About the Album
With Hometown, trumpeter and composer Jared Hall brings listeners into a musically rich reflection on place, purpose, and artistic growth. Born in Spokane and seasoned by vibrant creative communities from Bloomington to Miami and Seattle, Hall returns to his roots with a lyrical voice shaped by decades of performance and collaboration. Here, he celebrates the grounding power of family, shared history, and the joy of reconnecting with the people and experiences that shaped him. From the clever nods to jazz lineage in “Step by Step” and “Echoes and Origins,” to the wistful inspiration behind “Room 111,” this recording maps Hall’s journey with clarity, heart, and unwavering musical intention. Supported by a stellar quintet—including saxophonist Troy Roberts, pianist Ben Markley, bassist Michael Glynn and drummer Kyle Swan—Hometown unfolds with both rooted tradition and forward-looking spirit. The result is resonant and compelling. “There is truth here, unabashed, direct to the listener.” - All About Jazz
