Dorian May Trio with Hal Forman

Hal Forman has been playing the trumpet for over 50 years, having begun studying at age 10.

He has performed in a wide range of styles over the years, from rock to straight-ahead jazz to Afro-Cuban and Brazilian jazz to the avant-garde. He has performed with a diversity of artists, ranging from the Temptations to Cecil Taylor. He currently performs with several Sonoma County groups, including a Salsa band, a Jazz quintet and a Brazilian trio.
