BIO DICK HALLIGAN Born Troy, New York, 1943 Grammy Award winning composer/arranger Dick Halligan, founding member of the award winning jazz/rock ensemble "Blood, Sweat & Tears", has toured worldwide, performing in such renowned venues as Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, London's Albert Hall, and Woodstock. For his work with the group he received a Grammy Award and two nominations, influencing a generation of young jazz musicians. Dick's passion for music has been lifelong. As a child, he would sit for hours listening to his parents' big band records. He landed his first paying gig at age 13, playing accordion for a church dance in Glens Falls, New York. He made three dollars! In his teens, he worked in dance bands with the local music teachers. At 20, he played trombone in New York City with big band leaders such as Sammy Kaye, Larry Elgart and Warren Covington, and played piano and trombone with such musicians as Randy Brecker, Lew Soloff and Eddie Daniels. He also played in bands backing Sarah Vaughn, Dinah Washington, Jack Jones, Vic Damone, Julius LaRosa, and numerous others. In 1967, Dick completed his Master's degree in music theory and composition from Manhattan School of Music and was offered a teaching position in New England. At the same time, he was invited to join the as yet unknown group, "Blood, Sweat & Tears". After turning down the offer twice, his resolve was weakened by the promise of a trip to California at the onset of yet another New York winter. He has never regretted the decision. In 1971, Dick left the group to pursue an independent career as a film composer in Los Angeles. He has enjoyed twenty-five years in the industry, working extensively as a composer of film, television and commercial music .
