Vibraphonist Tom Beckham at Cornelia Street Cafe

Vibraphonist Tom Beckhams new CD Rebound (2008) builds upon the group sound achieved on his previous release, Center Songs (2005) which critics and fans agree “has a sound all its own (Rhapsody.com), with terrific charts, a great sound and an impressive performance” (ejazznews.com). Hes as much a tune smith as a performer (KKJZ). Beckham's playing has been described by critics as “intimate and lyrical" by Bob Bernotas, WNTI, “vibrant and colorful" by allaboutjazz.com, and “delightful and surprising" by Baltimore Magazine.

Returning to the Cornelia Street Cafe along with him are saxophonist Chris Cheek and pianist Henry Hey both appeared on Rebound and Center Songs, plus the rhythm section of bassist Matt Clohesy and drummer Greg Ritchie. The band will perform compositions from Rebound as well as new, unreleased material.
