Artist Biography by Scott Yanow
Overshadowed throughout his life by his older brother, Edmond Hall, Herb Hall had a softer and smoother tone on the clarinet and was talented in his own right. The son of a clarinetist (Edward Hall) and one of five musical brothers, Herb started out playing banjo with the Niles Jazz Band during 1923-25 before switching to clarinet and alto. He played with Kid Augustin Victor's band in Baton Rouge in 1926 and in 1927 moved to New Orleans. After performing with Sidney Desvigne, Hall had a longterm association with Don Albert (1929-37 and 1938-40) including a relocation to San Antonio that lasted until 1945. Hall freelanced in Philadelphia (with Herman Autrey) and New York, was with Doc Cheatham in 1955 and toured Europe with Sammy Price (1955-56). The clarinetist frequently played at Jimmy Ryan's and Eddie Condon's club in New York during the next decade. He toured with Wild Bill Davison's Jazz Giants (1968-69), worked often with Don Ewell and in the 1970's was frequently part of Bob Greene's World of Jelly Roll Morton show. Always a reliable player, Herb Hall led an album apiece for Sackville (1969), Storyville (1970) and GHB (an 1980 set shared with Louis Cottrell).

Herb was the brother of Edmond Hall and the son of clarinetist Edward Hall. He began on banjo with the Niles Jazz Band (1923–25), then settled on reeds.

After this he moved to Philadelphia, where he played with Herman Autrey; a few years later he was in New York, working with Doc Cheatham (1955) and did a European tour with Sammy Price (1955–56). He played often in the New York clubs of Jimmy Ryan and Eddie Condon in the late 1950s and 1960s. In 1968-69 he toured with Wild Bill Davison's Jazz Giants, and then a stint with an offshoot band of The Jazz Giants, called "Buzzy's Jazz Family" which included Herman Autrey, Benny Morton, Sonny Drootin, Eddie Gibbs and leader Buzzy Drootin on drums. He did work with Don Ewell in the 1970s. He also appeared in Bob Greene's Jelly Roll Morton revue show that decade.

Biografía del artista por Scott Yanow
Eclipsado durante toda su vida por su hermano mayor, Edmond Hall, Herb Hall tenía un tono más suave y liso en el clarinete y era talentoso por derecho propio. Hijo de un clarinetista (Edward Hall) y uno de los cinco hermanos musicales, Herb comenzó tocando el banjo con la Niles Jazz Band durante 1923-25 antes de cambiar al clarinete y al alto. Tocó con la banda de Kid Augustin Victor en Baton Rouge en 1926 y en 1927 se mudó a Nueva Orleans. Después de tocar con Sidney Desvigne, Hall tuvo una larga asociación con Don Albert (1929-37 y 1938-40) incluyendo un traslado a San Antonio que duró hasta 1945. Hall actuó como freelance en Filadelfia (con Herman Autrey) y en Nueva York, estuvo con Doc Cheatham en 1955 y realizó una gira por Europa con Sammy Price (1955-56). El clarinetista tocó con frecuencia en el club de Jimmy Ryan y Eddie Condon en Nueva York durante la siguiente década. Hizo giras con los Gigantes del Jazz de Wild Bill Davison (1968-69), trabajó a menudo con Don Ewell y en los años 70 formó parte con frecuencia del espectáculo World of Jelly Roll Morton de Bob Greene. Siempre un jugador confiable, Herb Hall dirigió un álbum cada uno para Sackville (1969), Storyville (1970) y GHB (un set de 1980 compartido con Louis Cottrell).
