3 Biography Drummer, composer, ethnomusicologist, and bandleader Dana Hall has been an important musician on the international music scene since 1992, after leaving aerospace engineering for a life in music. He has performed, toured, and/or recorded with such luminaries as Nicholas Payton, Joe Lovano, Horace Silver, Ray Charles, Maria Schneider, Jackie McLean, Mulgrew Miller, Jon Faddis, Joe Henderson, Curtis Fuller, and Branford Marsalis, among others. In 2009, Mr. Hall s debut CD, Into the Light, was released to great critical acclaim. Former Artistic Director of the Chicago Jazz Ensemble, Mr. Hall is an Associate Professor of Jazz Studies and Ethnomusicology and the Director of Jazz Studies at DePaul University. In addition to his active performing, composing, and university schedules, Dana can be heard every Monday evening leading his group Black Fire at Andy s Jazz Club, now in its third year of residency. Neil Tesser has noted that, even among modern drummers, Dana Hall stands out. Described by the Chicago Tribune s Howard Reich as viscerally exciting, intellectually formidable with a seemingly bottomless well of ideas, Mr. Hall recently premiered a newly commissioned, multi-disciplinary work as part of the Symphony Center Presents Jazz Series at Chicago s Orchestra Hall.
