Influences

A 2022 Seattle studio recording quartet album recorded in a single day from Jared Hall. It features 8 of the trumpeter's originals including tributes to Roy Hargrove, Brian Lynch - led off by bassist Michael Glynn - Woody Shaw, Wallace Roney and Tom Harrell plus an interpretation of Gigi Gryce's 'Minority' that has a very fine a cappella introduction by Hall. He hails from Spokane, Washington where he is director of jazz studies at the city's Whitworth University, his alma mater, located some 280 miles from Seattle.

With Hall, it's pianist Tal Cohen, Glynn and drummer John Bishop. A nostalgic affair steeped in a belief in the icons and certain core and enduring traditions, Influences is released on Friday - Woody Shaw tribute 'Song for Shaw' drawn from the album is streaming.
