Good to find his music here ! Remember seeing him the first time at the North Sea Jazz Festival in The Hague/Netherlands in the 90's. He performed in the small Escher-room. Didn't know him, but I stayed until the end of the concert and I was there again the consecutive year ! I find his music very adventurous. You never know what is going to happen. It's sad that he passed away at such a young age.
I miss seeing this musician perform. Very sad to have lost this jewel in the crown of jazz music. A gentle soul who was transformed during his live performances on stage. I vividly recall Tom and his usual crew of creative conspirators: Mario Pavone on bass and Michael Sarin on drums cranking out their compositions at a fevered pace, to the joy of all present. Yes, I miss seeing this consummate musician perform on stage - but thankfully he left his recordings to move and stir us as before.
What a joy to 'hear' Thomas again. He was such a marvelous musician, and one of the most beautiful human beings I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. Thanks..
Thomas. We still miss you!
