: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: With his second Origin release, Jared Hall directs his attention :,
: to the influences that first kindled and then nourished and :
:' sustained his life path as a trumpeter/composer. Thoughts of ':
,: Woody Shaw, Tom Harrell, Wallace Roney and others provided the :,
: inspiration for the eight original compositions, along with Gigi :
:' Gryce's "Minority," while their adventurous spirits, technical ':
,: brilliance and commitment to a voice infuse the performances by :,
: Hall's quartet. Miami-based, Grammy-winning pianist Tal Cohen's :
:' exhilarating interplay along with the dynamic lift from ':
,: Seattle's Michael Glynn on bass and drummer John Bishop launches :,
: "Song for Shaw" with a '70's momentum. They deliver an expansive :
:' warmth on "Dear Roy" for Hall to reflect on Roy Hargrove ':
,: within, and the tribute to his main mentor Brian Lynch, :,
: "Professor B.L.," is imbued with a Latin-tinged fire. :
:' ':
,: Influences is a collection of compositions, many of which are :,
: dedicated to influential and innovative jazz trumpeters, all :
:' written after the release of my album Seen on the Scene (Origin ':
,: Records) from 2018 to early 2021. A few selections have been :,
: performed live for years, while others make their debut here. :
:' Each tune is deeply personal, as the names mentioned below have ':
,: been critical to my personal development as a performer, :,
: educator, and composer. :
:' ':
,: Song for Shaw is dedicated to the late trumpeter Woody Shaw. His :,
: angular sense of melody balanced with contrasting harmonic :
:' twists and turns was always intriguing to me. This composition ':
,: aims to capture Shaw s adventurous spirit and technical :,
: precision. :
:' ':
,: Losing Roy Hargrove was a devastating loss for the jazz :,
: community and New York music scene, especially at the age of 49 :
:' felt far too early. Dear Roy serves as a love letter to the ':
,: soulful and lyrical side of Hargrove, often found in his ballad :,
: and flugelhorn performance. :
:' ':
,: Professor B.L. is a tribute to virtuoso trumpeter Brian Lynch, :,
: who takes his teaching as serious as his artistry. Having been :
:' fortunate to study and work with him for many years, his ':
,: process was perhaps his greatest influence on my performance and :,
: pedagogy as a musician. :
:' ':
,: Another recent tragic loss was trumpeter Wallace Roney, passing :,
: from complications of coronavirus in March 2020. Wallace truly :
:' encompassed the sound, harmonic ideas, and rhythmic ':
,: sensibilities of Miles Davis, all while having a unique :,
: impression on the music and adding to the lineage of outstanding :
:' jazz trumpeters. One for Wallace is a tune in his memory. ':
,: :,
: Let The Children Dance was one of many compositions written :
:' during my two-year residency at the historic Tula s Jazz Club ':
,: in Seattle, Washington. Having a young son of my own, this song :,
: is meant to embody the imagery of children playing, singing, and :
:' dancing where they express their limitless joy and innocence. ':
,: :,
: Beyond The Thorns musically describes moving through the harsh :
:' experiences many have in this life. If you live long enough, ':
,: every person will encounter hardships and vices in their life :,
: which attempt to destroy them, and at times, succeed. This tune :
:' expresses the journey of moving beyond the pain, tending to the ':
,: scrapes, and surviving scars to find peace and contentment. :,
: :
:' I met one of my musical heroes, trumpeter and composer Tom ':
,: Harrell, in the lobby of a hotel. The humility and sincerity :,
: found in the conversation of such a melodic genius was unlike :
:' anything I had experienced before. Harrell is composed in ':
,: homage to his artistry and musical perseverance. :,
: :
:' The lyrical beauty and seemingly endless melodic lines of ':
,: Clifford Brown are found on a gem of a recording, The Complete :,
: Paris Sessions, Volume 2. Brown s technical prowess and ease :
:' across the range of the trumpet on multiple takes of Minority ':
,: are to be admired and imitated at a certain point in any jazz :,
: trumpeter s development. :
:' ':
,: In high school, I found the recordings of trumpeter Nicholas :,
: Payton, especially the album From This Moment, melodically :
:' intoxicating with such a defined vibe in the groove. Based on ':
,: Payton s interpretation of the composition You Stepped Out of a :,
: Dream, Dream Steps attempts to drift the listener away from :
:' everyday life through a journey of melodic pathways and ':
,: energetic shifts. :,
