Nigel Hall

Nigel Hall is a keyboardist, singer, and songwriter with a modern spin on virtually all manners of '70s R&B and jazz, especially soul, funk, and fusion. Although he has enjoyed his highest level of visibility with the Grammy-nominated Lettuce, the Washington, D.C.-born, New Orleans-based musician has a catalog as a leader and co-headliner that pre-dates his alliance with that funk band, beginning with The Face of Things to Come (2006) and extending to The Burning Bush: A Journey Through the Music of Earth, Wind & Fire (2024). Hall's considerable volume of session work includes contributions to Grammy-nominated recordings by Ledisi and Cha Wa, and Jon Cleary's Grammy-winning GoGo Juice. Remarkably versatile, Hall plays seemingly as many types of acoustic and electric pianos, organs, and analog synthesizers as inspirations like Herbie Hancock, George Duke, and Patrice Rushen, the latter two of whom have appeared on his recordings.
