About the Hall Monitors:
In May of 2023, the opportunity to launch the group really came together after an invitation to perform at the Blue Room in CitySpace, Easthampton, MA for Carol’s Jazz Night concert series put on by empresario Carol Abbe Smith. The group presented a 90 minute set of 11 tunes, including 5 originals from 3 different band members. All we needed now was a name.
The group’s genesis happened at a special night for Hall High School Jazz Combos at the legendary Hartford nightspot, Black Eyed Sally’s. We coaches were invited to perform after the school combos. Matt Parker penned a particularly potent swinger titled Mr. Hall that brought the house to its feet at the conclusion. The smiles on our faces were sure signs that this could not be a one and done group.
