The Carlton Club Jazz Club has quickly become a staple, among others, in the Manchester Jazz scene, offering a free Sunday evening showcasing some of the best Jazz artists from the city and sometimes further afield.
Mike Hall is a jazz saxophonist and educator based in Manchester. He began his musical career with the National Youth Jazz Orchestra which led to work with the late composer/pianist Michael Garrick with whom he toured Malaysia and made several CD recordings and Radio 3 broadcasts.
Mike plays with the Echoes of Ellington Orchestra (including performances at Ronnie Scott’s Club), with Andy Scott’s Sax Assault, and with his own jazz quartet. He regularly freelances with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic and Hallé Orchestras with guest conductors such as John Wilson. Other personal projects include his double quartet (string quartet plus jazz quartet) Quadratus.
Mike has taught at the RNCM since 1994. He is Co-ordinator of Jazz Studies and directs the RNCM Big Band.
