Glen Hall has developed an international reputation as a composer, arranger and multi-instrumentalist. He plays tenor/soprano saxes, flute, alto and bass flutes, piccolo, bass clarinet, and percussion. He recorded The Mother of the Book with such luminaries as Gil Evans and the percussion virtuoso group NEXUS as well as The Book of the Heart with Joanne Brackeen, Billy Hart, Cecil McBee and Joshua Breakstone. Twice nominated for Juno awards, Jazz Report has called Hall "Canada’s best kept secret", and the Globe and Mail has said that he is "aggressively contemporary…Hall has all the marks of an original mind."
Glen has performed and/recorded with an astonishingly diverse range of musicians from jazz giants like clarinetists Jimmy Guiffre and Phil Nimmons, guitarists John Scofield and Ed Bickert, trombonists Ray Anderson and Roswell Rudd, and drummers Ed Blackwell and Claude Ranger, to new music heavies percussionist Christoph Caskell and bassist Fernando Grillo, to improv greats Plunderphonics’ John Oswald and Sonic Youth’s Lee Ranaldo. He has attended the Berklee College of Music and studied composition in Germany with Gyorgy Ligeti and Mauricio Kagel. He currently leads four groups: free jazz Trio Muo, sound art EAR-CAM, noise/jazz Ridge of High Pressure, and improv chamber quartet SONOra, and is a member of several other groups.

I have finally hit the road on a busking tour to raise money for War Child, Coast-to-coast – 50 cities – ALL PROCEEDS TO WARCHILD. Why? 66% of all war victims are CHILDREN. Shocked like me? War Child helps these children that have been affected by war. Check out the new blog – the whole story is up there. Love to have you be a part of it.
You’ll find a Blog, Tour page and a Bio page. I’ll be blogging daily from the road.
