“Remarkable… only the very best arrangers can get a sound like that from four horns”
Evan Parker, June 2013
“I’ve been involved in jazz for more than 60 years and this is some of the most exciting original new music I have heard for a long time. Tom’s writing has complexity, depth and intensity but above all a strong melodic thread… played with fantastic energy and a true “band sound”
Dame Cleo Laine, June 2013
