Hal Crook
Hal Crook began studying music in 1955 at the age of 5, inspired by listening to his father's Dixieland jazz band playing jam sessions in the living room. He graduated summa cum laude from Berklee College of Music in Boston with a Bachelor of Music Degree in Arranging and Composition in 1971. He has gone on to perform with hundreds of notable musicians, including Doc Severinsen, Slide Hampton, John Medeski, John Abercrombie, Diana Ross and James Brown.
