About the artist

Rich Crandall's musical journey was influenced by his father's love for traditional and big band jazz. Before arriving in Hawaiʻi 40 years ago, Crandall led his own groups in Wisconsin, Chicago, Michigan, and San Francisco. He performed with jazz greats Freddie Hubbard, Sadao Watanabe, Frank Morgan, Ernestine Anderson, Trummy Young, Henry Mancini, Ira Sullivan, Rufus Reid, and others. It was during his time in the islands, however, that he found his unique musical voice. Many of his original compositions are available on his recordings Solo Travel, Soothsayer, ‘Til Further Notice, and Last Takes With Rory. His Shine and Malaika CDs both feature his daughter Angela. Crandall is known for his local community efforts, including his statewide "Jazz-In-The-Schools" program and a decade of Tuesday night Studio 6 jazz sessions at the Musicians' Association of Hawaii.
