About

This special gig will mark the launch of Tom's new live album recorded as part of the London Jazz Festival 2024. You will hear the internationally renowned line up of musicians that feature on the album:

  • James Copus (Orlando Le Flemming, Mingus Big Band)
  • Ivo Neame (Hermeto Pascoal, Gilad Hekselman)
  • Tim Giles (Kenny Wheeler, Bobby Wellins)
  • Oli Hayhurst (Pharoah Sanders, Kurt Rosenwinkel)
  • Tom Barford (Billy Cobham, Gerald Cleaver)

The music is eclectic- virtuosic playing over fast tempos, Wayne Shorter and Vince Mendoza inspired compositions and even some tasty arrangements of some Joe Henderson classics.

Tom released his Kenny Wheeler Prize winning album BLOOMER on Edition Records back in 2018 to critical acclaim. He also enjoys co-leading the band AuB who have released two albums with Edition Records and Whirlwind Recordings. Come and celebrate as he releases the 4th- "Live at the Parakeet".
