Last Show: Sunday 7 ^th November 2021

PizzaExpress Jazz Club (Soho)

Guitarist Tom Ollendorff is fast gaining a formidable reputation as an outstanding improviser and imaginative composer. At today's concert he presents music from his debut record ‘A Song For You’. The music is an elegantly accomplished mix of gracefully grooving songlike themes featuring warmly conversational improvising, up tempo swing and baroque-like unaccompanied etudes. Tom Ollendorff trio features Conor Chaplin on double bass and Marc Michel on drums.

"For this listener, Ollendorff’s sensitivity to space and nuance, and the expressive economy of his phrasing sometimes recalls the work of the legendarily graceful Jim Hall"

John Fordham
