Hi Tom, how long have you been playing?
I've been playing music for 50 years.
Who were your influences?
My influences are Lester Young, Charlie Parker, Dexter Gordon, John Coltrane and Michael Brecker.
How many bands have you been in?
too many to count
What's it like to gig?
Gigging is mostly a lot of fun if you're playing music that you enjoy but sometimes it feels like work.
How often do you practice?
I practice when needed. When I was younger, I practiced six hours every day. I stay in practice by doing five to six gigs per week plus rehearsals.
What would you tell a newbie musician?
I would tell a young musician to be open to playing all styles of music and practice hard to learn your craft.
What's one of your accomplishment as a musician?
In 2014, I produced and wrote all of the music for my album "A Work In Progress".
