Donate to young boys in need

Keith — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 14:02:56 +0000

Friends, I need your help. Last week, I had the opportunity to present a jazz education program sponsored by Education for the Arts to a school in Kalamazoo. The school serves boys age 8-18 with emotional disorders. It was an amazing experience for all of us. They were really into the music, air drumming, moving in their seats, and singing along. During our performance, our good friend Julie Parker noticed that these 35 boys did not appear to have much in the way of clean or appropriately fitting clothes. The office confirmed that the boys are definitely in need. SO…..we are taking action! We are asking for donations of boys clothing, or money that will be used to purchase things they need. You can email me for clothing donations or go to my website to donate money. We will shop this week so they will have things by Friday for Christmas. We want to continue to serve these boys and make an impact in their lives. Won’t you help us? Keith@KeithHallMusic.com

Help us bless boys ages 8-18 in Kalamazoo.

DownBeat Holiday Music Roundup

Matthew — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 02:25:15 +0000

The folks at DownBeat were nice enough to include the new TRI-FI Christmas CD in their Holiday Music Roundup. They even had some nice words to say:

“Tri-Fi is a terrific piano trio based out of New York City featuring Matthew Fries on piano, Phil Palombi on bass and Keith Hall on drums. And A Tri-Fi Christmas is one of the more surprising holiday records jazz fans will hear this season. The cover promises total schlock, but don’t be fooled. In the finest jazz tradition, this tight-knit trio turns tired chestnuts into launchpads of improvisation. On the menu are songs you’ve heard a million times, like “Frosty The Snowman,” “Joy To The World” and “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” done in amazingly tasteful, interesting ways.”

Thanks DownBeat!
