Hall High School – Here & Now
William Hall High School from West Hartford, Ct. has a number of LPs, this one showcases the Jazz Band & Jazz Choir from 1977. It was recorded at RCA Studio C in New York & sounds really good for a High School LP. This LP has a pretty solid selection of tracks & some forward thinking instrumentation & playing makes for an enjoyable LP. The Hall High Jazz Band toured extensively both in the US & overseas, appeared on TV & Radio & also recieved many Festival Honors, good stuff.

One of the best overall sounding LP’s from a local high school I’ve found (in terms of studio quality).
Covering tunes from Maynard Ferguson to Quincy Jones, funky big band to progressive jazz edges.
One of the first school LP’s added to my collection
years back. I was surprised to see this this up here this morning. Ct repazent.
