Jazz at Lincoln Center is extremely proud, though entirely unsurprised, to watch Russell Hall’s career take off at such a remarkable speed. This recent Juilliard graduate first graced Jazz at Lincoln Center in 2010, 2011, and 2012 during our Essentially Ellington High School Jazz Band Competition & Festival. He was awarded “Most Outstanding Bassist” every year. Hall has since played at the top jazz venues in New York and around the world, working with a “who’s who” list of jazz greats, including filling in as bassist for the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis. As part of our annual Thelonious Monk Festival, Hall will be leading a band of similar pedigree, including vibraphonist Joel Ross and pianist Mathis Picard. They’ll be exploring Thelonious Monk’s timeless repertoire, bridging the great history and future of jazz.
