    Alfred Wesley “Al” Hall (March 18, 1915, Jacksonville, Florida – January 18, 1988, New York City) was an American jazz bassist. Hall grew up in Philadelphia, where he played cello and tuba early in life before settling on bass at age 17.

He also worked in Broadway pit orchestras for the next several decades. He founded his own label, Wax Records, in 1946, which was bought out by Atlantic Records in 1949.
