Featured Performers: Steve Bulmer’s Hall Monitors
The Hall Monitors, a group of top-notch jazz musicians brought together through our love of playing, composing, arranging, AND teaching, currently consists of Steven Bulmer on bass, Jen Allen on piano, Matt Parker on saxes and flute, Nathan Edwards on saxes and Ben Bilello on drums.
The group performs a variety of intense jazz styles and includes innovative originals in their programs along with original treatments of not-so-standard jazz classics and tributes to jazz legacies such as Harold Mabern, Phil Woods, Roy Hargrove and Benny Golson. It features a classic piano-bass-drums rhythm section with two innovative and complementary saxophonists.
The Amos Bull and Butler-McCook Houses will also celebrate featured artist exhibitions of Frank Poulin and Andy Hart.
Sponsored by: the Richard P. Garmany Fund at Hartford Foundation for Public Giving; the Greater Hartford Arts Council’s United Arts Campaign with major support from the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving; and the Evelyn W. Preston Memorial Trust Fund, Bank of America, N.A., Trustee.
