Press Office - BBC Proms 2011 Hal 'n Ed HAL MILLER Although he often shuns publicity, a web site describing my musical activities would be incomplete and remiss without a page describing the single most important person who has advised and encouraged me. He has consistently and generously provided me the type of invaluable inspiration, guidance and material the past 6 years that has greatly facilitated much of what I’ve done.

Hal is a product of the State University of New York, having gained his undergraduate degree at SUNY Potsdam and his master’s at SUNY Albany. Current Jazz Video-Jazz History Events
