Lambert Moss hails from New York City, where he learned from working in the city's musical theater, nightclub and cabaret scenes. Now a resident of San Francisco, he is thrilled to be able to perform with these incredible Bay Area musicians.
Pianist Tammy L. Hall hails from Dallas, Texas. Her mother, an aspiring concert pianist, died when Hall was only a year old, so her upbringing was left to both sets of grandparents and a host of aunts and uncles. From an early age, Hall displayed an interest in the piano — she began playing at age 4, and her grandparents eventually decided to provide her with classical lessons.
Hall was soon playing piano and organ at Mount Moriah Missionary Baptist Church, as well as for the junior choir at her elementary school. Her talents earned her a scholarship to Dallas' prestigious college prep school for girls, the Hockaday School, where she continued her classical piano studies.
In 1979, Hall accepted a music scholarship at Mills College in Oakland. Taking in jazz and blues shows in the San Francisco Bay Area, Hall became increasingly enthralled with jazz. She left Mills after two years to pursue music full-time. In 1987, she moved to Brussels and spent two years playing club dates and festivals around Europe. She returned to the Bay Area and became the accompanist of choice for blues, cabaret, and jazz vocalists on the scene. For close to 15 years, Hall balanced a day job at a law firm with jazz gigs at night. In 2006, Hall released her first quartet album, Blue Divine, a straight-ahead recording featuring Hall's original compositions. The album made the shortlist of possible Grammy nominations in two categories: Best Jazz Instrumental Album and Best Jazz Instrumental Solo.
Venues and festivals of note include Carnegie Hall (Thank You Jackie Hairston!), Jazz At Lincoln Center, The Kennedy Center, Detroit Institute of the Arts, Sala Filarmonica (Trento, Italy), Brussels Jazz Club, Monterey Jazz Festival, SFJAZZ Festival, Paramount Theatre (Oakland), Fillmore Jazz Festival, North Sea Jazz Festival, In addition to her solo work, her accompanying gigs, and working as a Lead Teaching Artist with SFJAZZ and Musical Coach at the Oakland Public Conservatory, Tammy devotes her time and musical talents working privately with children helping them to establish a solid relationship with music in their lives and for some adults - helping them to reconnect to music.
This year, the Healdsburg Jazz Festival under the leadership of Marcus Shelby, Artistic Director has named Tammy as their Inaugural Artist-In-Residence. She is also a member of the Bay Area Jazz And Blues Artists Society and was awarded recognition for her work in 2014. The San Francisco Chapter of the Human Rights Commission awarded Tammy its inaugural Pleasant-Leidesdorff Community Stalwart Award for her work in the community. In 2018, Hall received the award for Best Musical Direction for her work in vocalist Pamela Rose’s Blues Is A Woman. Tammy is always keeping an open heart and ear to becoming a better musician and human being and is grateful for every opportunity to engage in meaningful collaboration.
