A very deserving reward for all his years of dedication to music and jazz in particular.
I first heard him playing "If You Were the Only Girl in the World" on one of Humph's radio shows back in the early 1980s. I think he was 15 or 16 at the time. Like Humph, I was impressed. Still am today. Next month will see the release of another ambitious work by the SNJO - jazz version of Peter and the Wolf.
Congratulations Tommy and look forward to continuing to enjoy your work both past, present and future.
