Blending the bold tradition of post-bop with modern harmonic storytelling, trumpeter and composer Jared Hall delivers music marked by lyricism, rhythmic clarity, and emotional depth. Hailed as a ~fiercely expressive soloist, equally grounded in tradition and innovation~ (Earshot Jazz), Hall has performed and recorded with an impressive range of jazz and commercial legends, including Maria Schneider, Paquito D’Rivera, Terence Blanchard, Arturo Sandoval, Jeff ~Tain~ Watts, Peter Erskine, George Benson, Gloria Estefan, and Wycliffe Gordon. A winner of the National Trumpet Competition – Jazz Division, Hall has been featured at top venues and festivals, including Carnegie Hall, Benaroya Hall, The Triple Door, Bellevue Jazz Festival, Gene Harris Jazz Festival, and Leavenworth Jazz Festival. His sound, described as ~fiery and fluid... steeped in tradition but pushing forward~ (JazzTimes), continues to captivate audiences and critics alike. ​Hall is Artistic Director of the Leavenworth Jazz Association, and co-author of The Piano Grip System (2020), a widely used resource for non-pianists learning jazz harmony and theory.  Hall remains an active performer throughout the Pacific Northwest and beyond where his mentorship continues to shape the next generation of jazz artists and educators.
