Our “Replay” series, featuring five select bands from our 2022/23 season of Music Spoken Here at the Marr’s Bar, continues with Tom Ford. Tom made his first appearance in September 2022, the third event on our nascent program at the time!
Tom Ford has been a steady member of the UK jazz scene for the past 10 years having regularly performed at Ronnie Scotts, Jazz Cafe, 91 living room and more as well as being a regular sideman for Reuben James, Jas Kayser and Jay Phelps. He has also been welcomed into the US and European jazz scenes respectively touring and recording with Chris ‘daddy’ Dave’s drumhedz, Keyon Harrold, Pet Eldh’s Projekt Drums amongst others. Outside of jazz he also writes and produces for many people in both the jazz and commercial world, having worked across the world in LA, NY, Europe and Brazil.
His return coincides with a new album “Goodbye Forever”, which he sees as a rebirth creatively and artistically,
moving away from his past sound and ideas and transitioning to a new version of his creative self. His music is a diverse mix of genres and influences but with a heavy emphasis on improvisation, even though there are elements paying tribute to The Police, The Smiths, Allan Holdsworth and Milton Nascimento.
Tom will be joined by Christos Stylianides on trumpet Daisy George on bass (who both appeared with Jas Kayser and Chums in January this year) and Nathan Shingler on drums, along with MC Chase Alex from Chicago.
