Tom Lellis
Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Tom Lellis began singing professionally at the age of 15. By age 21, he was working on bills with Ray Charles and Gregory Hines and a 15-piece big band. After 9 years as a stand up singer, Tom began intensive piano studies. Three years later he was singing, playing and opening for Dizzy Gillespie, Bill Evans, Jimmy Smith and other jazz greats. As a lyricist, he first put words to and recorded works by McCoy Tyner, Keith Jarrett, Wayne Shorter, Chick Corea, Dave Brubeck and others. Tom's debut album was released on Inner City Records in 1981 and became an instant fixture in London's jazz disco's where thousands danced to "Lucky Southern"

Big Crazy Energy New York Band: Inspirations Vol. 1
by Raul d'Gama Rose
The key word in the name of trombonist Jens Wendelboe's band for Inspirations, “Big Crazy Energy New York Band," is “energy." If there is one thing that there is a surfeit of--and there is much to cheer about here--it is vim and verve. The other unusual and welcome aspect of the record is that it consists ...

Tom Lellis: Avenue of the Americas
by AAJ Italy Staff
Con un album di esordio risalente al 1981 (che, fra l’altro, ha avuto un buon successo di pubblico), ci si aspetterebbe da parte di Tom Ellis una lunga serie di incisioni. Invece queste si sono succedute in spazi temporali troppo lunghi per quella che è l’industria musicale odierna (la seconda è arrivata dieci anni dopo l’esordio). ...

Tom Lellis: Avenue Of The Americas
by Michael P. Gladstone
Jazz vocalist Tom Lellis' Avenue of the Americas is at least partially a midsummer's valentine to the music of Brazil, and those tracks represent the finest aspect of this album. Lellis, who began recording in 1979 on Inner City Records, has only a handful of albums to show for the passing decades. His 1993 Concord album ...
Tom Lellis: Avenue of the Americas
by Dr. Judith Schlesinger
Tom Lellis is a bold, innovative musician with a supple voice and distinctive style. While he's not your cookie-cutter crooner, he's still fully capable of inducing swoons in his female listeners (see “Baubles, Bangles, and Beads" for evidence). This track also demonstrates some of what makes Lellis an original: his ability to combine different songs as ...
