Rob Hall: Eight Escapes…

Rob Hall: Eleven MORE Es…

Original creations for the contemporary pianist by Rob Hall.

EIGHT ESCAPES for Piano is a fresh, engaging set of contemporary pieces suitable for pianists of Grades 5-7 who enjoy jazz-influenced music without improvisation.

This first collection by Rob Hall for Spartan Press provides a wide range of moods and challenges from the cascading opener Lifts, Escalators and Extreme Travelators, depicting a bustling Hong Kong, through the Edinburgh festival-funk of Cafe Graffiti and the whirling folk-infused Pied Piper, to an emotive epilogue Swan Song.

With its international theme, Eight Escapes will have wide appeal to advancing (or advanced) pianists and students alike.

Audio tracks of 3 of the pieces Hinterland, Pied Piper and Rondeau, arranged for saxophone and piano. See link above.

Reviews

I'm a big fan of Rob Hall's music. His jazz style is open to other influences - classical and folk for example - and the blend is a potent one, creating music that is above all about feeling and character. The pieces are also very well written for the piano.

International Pianist: Steven Osborne

Vibrant, often evocative ... he has a gift for writing bright, sinuous melodies over attractive rhythmic grooves fleshed out in turn with rich and often intricate harmonies.

The Scotsman

Hall has strong ideas and a playful sense of form.

Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD

Rob Hall is one of a happy bunch called 'the naturals'
