Nice Work If You Can Get It

This is Tom’s only album featuring him doing full ensemble versions of tunes from The Great American Songbook. Many of these were recorded live at the Backgate Stage of Artichoke Music in Portland OR. One track, “I’m Old Fashioned” was recorded at a Ron Steen jam session at Produce Row Café in Portland. Some of the tracks feature Tom singing while not playing the piano. (Bill Beach is the pianist on those tracks.) The idea for this record came from executive producer Brad Mersereau, a prolific song writer and composer in his own right. There is a particularly lively version of “On Green Dolphin Street” with Tom playing along with bassist Phil Baker and drummer Ron Steen.
