ICQ Alumni Spotlight: Tom Hall ‘77
Cliff Jumper
Tom Hall '77 loves both knowing every aspect of the music he brings to life and taking risks with it.
His résumé is so impressive that you can't help being nervous before speaking with him, imagining a worldly, lofty, perhaps somewhat standoffish "artiste." But Tom Hall '77 puts you at ease immediately. He's both intellectual and down-to-earth, likable, smart, thoughtful, kind, and funny. He loves music, his family, Ithaca, travel -- and it is clear from speaking with him for even a short time that he absolutely loves what he does.
