Jared Daimond

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.
