Tom Harrell Quintet

Praised by Newsweek for his pure melodic genius, Tom Harrell is widely recognized as one of the most creative and uncompromising jazz instrumentalists and composers of our time. Even with a
discography of over 260 recordings and a
career that spans more than four decades,
Harrell has managed to stay fresh and current as he continues to actively record and tour around the world. He is a frequent winner in Down Beat and Jazz Times magazines' Critics and Readers Polls and
a Grammy nominee. Harrell is also a Trumpeter of the Year nominee for the 2011 Jazz Journalists Association Awards. His warm, burnished sound on the trumpet and the flugelhorn,and the unparalleled harmonic and rhythmic sophistication in his playing and writing, have earned Harrell his place as a jazz icon to aspiring musicians and devoted fans alike.
