Description
The Tom Roach Ensemble
Sponsored by John and Lois Thompson
Tom Roach’s new project, The Between Times, features compositions inspired by his many visits to Havana, Cuba, and Paris, France. The Havana Suite is Cuban-centric, influenced by Tom’s life-long exploration of Afro Cuban and Latin percussion, comprised of a Blues-based Songo, a contemplative ballad, and a piece fused with rhythms of Guaguanco and Samba.
The Paris Suite is a tribute to the city, with vocal selections and musical retrospectives of visits to the noted Parisian Jazz Club.
Mike Murley saxophones, Silvio Pupo piano, Richard White guitar, Jamie Gatti bass, Kim Dunn vocals and Tom Roach drums.
