15/11/21 - A quick update
In Summer 2021 it seemed like everything went from 0 to 100mph - hence it's been a long time since a website update. The Summer was full of outdoor performances at festivals across the country followed by an enjoyable Septet performance at Pizza Express in October and it was great to catch up with friends who I hadn't seen for months.
Generally though it's been a quiet time for my own groups as I've been performing with other projects, as well as arranging and writing for new groups and that looks set to continue for the remainder of the year. So for now watch this space - many new exciting things to come for 2022!
18/02/21 - Podcasts and Livestreams
With live music still pretty much out of bounds for artists and audiences due to the ongoing lockdown in the UK, I've been exploring other ways to connect with music lovers and other musicians. This Sunday 21st Feb (and avaliable for a week after) I'll be broadcasting my first livestream gig with the Brass Funkeys from the Cockpit Theatre in Marylebone which is also the launch of our new EP. Hope you can join us!
I loved recently being interviewed by good friend and musical colleague Tommy Andrews for his Soundspring Podcast, featuring fascinating discussions with creative musicians sharing how they turn their stories, ideas and feelings into sound. I chat about my composition "Equilibrium" from my first album Skyline, our love of nature, the environment and the outdoors and the challenges of staying creative especially during lockdown.
20/10/20 - A year like no other
Well, this has been an odd year all right. With all gigs grounded including my Septet album launch tour, my time has been filled instead with two album launches, composing, video editing and remote recording, with some hopefully exciting results and projects in the pipeline for when the cogs start moving again (which they certainly will). I thought I would share a few updates:
This interview in the "Trombonist" magazine sums up my thoughts on lockdown and the implications of COVID-19 for live music, as well as talking about my new Septet album "Tipping Point".
Patchwork Jazz Orchestra have been busy releasing our lockdown EP "The Light That Shines" on my record label Spark. We recorded the whole EP from our homes, and we've been producing videos for each track that have got ever more elaborate as we have gone on - my effort is below, a space-themed odyssey to go with my arrangement of the fantastic Fred Hersch tune "Endless Stars".
Finally, with just over a week to go until Halloween, I dug out the final video from the "Tipping Point" album recording sessions which will premiere on Friday 23rd October. This one's a folk-inspired tune called "Jack O'Lantern", featuring the wonderful Sam Miles on tenor sax.
I hope everyone is keeping safe and well, and very much hope to see you at a live gig in the not too distant future!
09/05/20 - "Tipping Point" 4* reviews are in
Thrilled to get a number of 4* reviews and great quotes from the first few weeks of my album launch! Some selected press below:
Jazzwise: 4* "A classy yet unfussy showing from a young musician who, without the benefits of riding any new wave of jazz, leads one of the best 'new generation' larger ensembles"
The Observer: 4* "seamless flow - in the hands of an imaginative and ingenious composer such as Green, the possibilities seem endless"
The Guardian: "an ingeniously contrapuntal repertoire for a septet that sounds twice the size"
Jazz Journal: 4* "a lively player, a consistently interesting composer"
UK Vibe: 4* "Tipping Point looks set to bring Tom Green waves more plaudits for another album sure to make his star rise even higher."
Marlbank: "Trombonist Green is a force to be reckoned with"
Jazz Views: "Uplifting music for these trying times"
London Jazz News:"The best albums are those which don’t fully reveal themselves until you’ve listened several times. Tipping Point sounds like one of those. I’ll enjoy getting better acquainted"
Also enjoyed writing some articles and interviews for the following magazines and blogs:
London Jazz News Interview with John Fordham: "Tom Green has stood out for the coupling of an original imagination to consummate craftsmanship – yet he does the most difficult things without ostentation, since he and his musicians consistently sound as if they’re just trying to have the most fun they can."

04/04/20 - First video from "Tipping Point"
Five years after the release of "Skyline", I'm very excited to announce my second Septet album "Tipping Point" will be released on Friday 17th April.
"Tipping point" is a phrase that has become more and more common to describe global changes, whether the subject matter is climate change, politics or upheavals within society. When writing the music for this release I had no idea the title would also reflect the current situation we find ourselves in with the whole world in lockdown.
I wrote this music to celebrate the importance of hope and positive action when addressing individual and global challenges in a rapidly changing world. I hope you enjoy listening to it in this difficult time, and that we can share it with you live in concert at some point in the future.
While we are unable to embark on our planned album launch tour, over the next few weeks I will be releasing live videos of some of the 8 tracks from the recording session on my website and social media, the first of which is below - an arrangement of a beautiful Joni Mitchell tune from her album "Blue".

John Fordham, the Guardian, Feb 2015
"Remarkable… only the very best arrangers can get a sound like that from four horns"
Evan Parker, June 2013
"Mighty impressive... this band is one to look out for"
Ivan Hewett, the Telegraph, Feb 2015
"Contemporary chamber jazz that is both elegant and lively, full of tightly written passages that blossom into free playing with natural ease"
Tony Benjamin, Venue Magazine Bristol, December 2013
The Tom Green Septet is an outlet for Tom's original compositions: elegant and lively contemporary chamber jazz tunes with rich harmony, propulsive grooves, and memorable melodies at their heart. The Septet was formed in November 2012, bringing together seven in-demand young musicians who are all prize-winning bandleaders, composers and performers in their own right. Together they create a warm and distinct sound world, using the unique range of textures available in the seven-piece ensemble.
Their debut album “Skyline” was released in February 2015 to unanimous critical acclaim, with the band undertaking an 18-date launch tour from Inverness in Scotland to St Ives in Cornwall. Dave Gelly in the Observer (4*) described it as “a kaleidoscope of harmony that is not only phenomenally skilful, but absorbing and endlessly entertaining, too.” The CD was recorded at Real World Studios and released on Tom’s own Spark label. It was described in Jazzwise as “startlingly good and a delight to hear” (4*), and according to Peter Bacon of the Jazz Breakfast blog, “there’s little point in picking out highlights – the whole album is a highlight.”
Their new album “Tipping Point” was released in April 2020. The album builds on the themes that influenced “Skyline”, with 8 new tracks inspired by topics including climate change, natural beauty and the role of individual and collective action in a rapidly changing world. The album has generated 4* reviews in Jazzwise ("A classy yet unfussy showing from a young musician who, without the benefits of riding any new wave of jazz, leads one of the best 'new generation' larger ensembles"), the Observer ("seamless flow") and was described as "uplifting music for these trying times" by Eddie Myer of Jazz Views.

"I've been involved in jazz for more than 60 years and this is some of the most exciting original new music I have heard for a long time. Tom's writing has complexity, depth and intensity but above all a strong melodic thread… played with fantastic energy and a true band sound"
Dame Cleo Laine, June 2013
"Interwoven contrapuntal writing of real intricacy… an impeccably tuned front four, the crisp accuracy of Scott Chapman at the drum kit…"

Patchwork Jazz Orchestra
www.patchworkjazzorchestra.com
Winners of the 2015 Peter Whittingham Jazz Award, Patchwork Jazz Orchestra are a collective London based ensemble dedicated to championing big band music in a contemporary setting.
The 17 piece group made its debut at the 2014 London Jazz Festival to a sell out audience at the Forge, Camden, and since then has been turning heads with the sound of fresh original compositions written exclusively by its members. Having performed at venues from London's Vortex Jazz Club to abroad at La Mortella, Ischia, Italy, the orchestra are setting up their own night, 'Patchwork', aided by the funding received from the Peter Whittingham Award.
"Patchwork Jazz Orchestra are plugged into the spirit of the current London jazz scene, littered with talented writers and players unafraid of thinking big."
Julian Joseph
Prior to our existence, each and every one of us had already performed with one another in different contexts and subgroups, with a handful of us involved in small bands of our own. However there was a desire among many to not only play more large ensemble music, but to have the opportunity and environment in which we could write for it. Early in 2014 ideas started to form for the band and in the November of that year the Patchwork Jazz Orchestra reared its head for the first time at the London Jazz Festival.
Big bands have been an essential part of the jazz tradition and for a lot of us have played a key role in our development as musicians. The orchestra means we can continue both of these things and add to the legacy of big band music, with the aim of helping to bring it back into the public eye more and engaging new audiences.
The collaborative nature of the orchestra is one of its most valuable assets and the diversity of influences and personalities that exist within it is also a huge benefit. The way personal relations, composition and performance all feed into each other in Patchwork Jazz Orchestra is very unique, and since its inception we have recognised more and more that this is what the band thrives on and makes it what it is.
Long may it continue!
