Bearwood Jazz / Hal Singer

HAL SINGER
	In September 06 Hal Singer and David Murray played 2 gigs with Andy Hamilton. The first, at Corks Club was packed to the rafters and a gig to die for. This photo of Hal playing with Andy in the background was taken at the second (official) gig put on by Birmingham Jazz at the CBSO centre. Hal 'Cornbread' Sinnger is a major figure in the development of modern American music. He played an pivotal role in the development of Jump Jive and early R&B, and then went on to play with some of the great names of Jazz including Coleman Hawkins and Earl "Fatha" Hines in the 50s and 60s. Now in his late 80s and settled in Paris he is a regular collaborator wityh the great David Murray. As if to prove how far reaching Hal Singer's influence is, you can find a very good bio of him at www.rockabilly.nl - 'nuff said.
