Trumpeter Tom Harrell has rightly been called ‘living and breathing melody.’ In his current quintet he plays with New York greats including tenor saxophonist Mark Turner.
For those in the know he’s an icon and for new listeners a revelation: Tom Harrell’s trumpet sound is among the most beautiful and sophisticated ever. His precision and sense of harmony are unparalleled and his solos sound like thoughtfully composed lines. Furthermore, he keeps on innovating. For example, Infinity is his first album with a quintet with tenor sax and guitar. At the BIMHUIS he will perform with the same musicians, including tenor saxophonist Mark Turner, who has previously played sold-out shows here with Fly.
Tom Harrell has won many awards as a trumpet and flugelhorn player, and he has also earned his place as a composer. He has written and arranged for jazz bands as well as ballet, symphony and chamber orchestras. His arrangements include classical works by Debussy and Ravel. He has collaborated with legends such as Dizzy Gillespie, Bill Evans and Horace Silver, with diva’s such as Dianne Reeves and Cassandra Wilson, and with heroes of the current jazz generation such as Esperanza Spalding and Ambrose Akinmusire.
‘A supreme trumpet/flugelhorn player, Tom Harrell has an endless flow of bubbling, intricate
ideas conveyed with an almost serene delivery. His equal ability as a formidable post-bop
composer remains in full flower. From dangerous tearups to near abstract to conventional balladry, Harrell is a master’ (Mojo Magazine).

ho avuto la fortuna di ascoltare Tom Harrel dal vivo a Messina in un locale tipo pub circa tra 25 e 30 aa fa. Andai sapendo di ascoltare un grande del jazz. Indimenticabile...lo ascolto da allora con la stessa aspettativa.
Bought Infinity on CD with almost the same setting a couple of years ago. Really enjoyed and listened to it a lot. So glad to hear this!
Tom was a dear friend to Bob Berg since their days with Horace Silver. I met and played with Bob. He told me about Tom and his genious.
Tom has been my favourite trumpeter for many decades.
the music of Tom Harrell
is simply a vehicle for travelling elsewhere
above the ugliness of our time
and above the normality of real things
it is simply a natural vehicle to pure beauty
many thanks to those who published
this beautiful concert
and congratulations to all the great musicians playing with him
I know that the word genius is bandied around too much but Mr Harrell is in the conversation
who would not be?
This music inspire me to keep practicing and playing more trumpet. Yeah.
I saw Mr Harrell in a small room in NYC many decades ago. I hadn't heard of him at the time & was knocked out.
This is a wonderful band !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

High-end music .
How appearences can be deceiving.. It was not my style at all, a bit dull at first.. But getting along with it, it opened a complete new universe for me. All Top musicians on adventurous compositions. Surprise for me was the role of the guitarist Charles Altura. Dull at first for me, although he was obviously 'good'. (I am not a Jim Hall fan). But wondering where 'the mood' of al tunes came from, I realised it was him. Very modest, creating a continuum for all further dreams and thoughts, never disturbing anything, while his playing was always opening new ways. (for more beauty to come out). Truely amazing, and very worthwhile. Modesty at it's best, for me. The bassist had a very good timing on everything. The role of that is underrated.. This is an amazing team.
Harrell habita otro mundo, y no tan solo el de su diagnostico de esquizofrenia, u otra forma de entender (o no entender) el mundo. Como sea; ello lo transmuta en música increíble!
A great, great performance 👍
This is fantastic! Thanks for sharing!
Tom Harrell true gifted musician
Fantastic!
Wow Wow Wowwww...
Musica di grande spessore ed eleganza..
Thank you so much for this upload, I had to subscribe.
The first tune is reminiscent of an early 60's Paul Horn quintet tune called Mirage for Miles.
Need more of Tom and the band in 2021-2022! All of these guys are great, just need Danny Grissette added in and it would be even better!
nice show!
🎺🌹🌿🙂👌
altura is great..
too bad that every now and then both the trumpet and the flugelhorn
the sound gets lost or distant
due to the suboptimal positioning of the microphone
all that was needed was for the sound engineer
during the concert (in a discreet manner)
moved it closer to the bell of Harrell's instruments, depending on how he positioned himself.
(given the objective neck posture problems of this great artist).
Ugonna Okegwo on bass, not Ben Street
true! thank you, changed it.
This is not more than a boring pensioner band. Terrible what has become out of the jazz in the last few years.
maybe it´s not just melodies for everybody.
There are a lot of beautiful melodies, but the pace of communication between the musicians reminds me of soccer games from the 1960s.
@@MelodiesForEverybody Different types of passion. Communication here is high.
