Patrick Hall

Born: September 6, 1965

From Working-Class to First Class: Trombonist Pat Hall and Time Remembered Trombonist Pat Hall was born in Flint, Michigan, in 1965. His upbringing was typical of its time and place - very Michael Moore Roger & Me-era working-class. Indeed, his father worked in the local GM plant. Neither parent was particularly musical, though Pat remembers his father being partial to Kraftwerk and Pink Floyd. "Thanks to the eight-track in his car," Pat says, "that music became imprinted on my brain." Flint public schools were fairly progressive in the 1970s, due largely to the influence of local philanthropist Charles Stewart Mott

Jeff Bradshaw

Jeff Bradshaw’s story began at a dusty floored church in North Philly, where brass bands are the main attraction. He was born and raised in church and that is where he had his first musical experience. The first instrument he began playing was the snare drum. Following that Mr. Bradshaw began playing the baritone horn and sousaphone. He recalls one very powerful day in high school when everyone was asked to stand in front of the instrument they would like to play. Of course, there was a crowd surrounding the drums, guitars, saxophones, trumpets, percussion, and woodwinds, but not one person was standing near the stack of trombones in the corner
