Tom, Dick & Harry Soul and Jazz

Tom, Dick & Harry

Giving every song a new life

Harry and Dick play soul and jazz songs together with the guitar named Tom. A song drifts in from somewhere. It can be a big band classic or a wall of sound hit. We pick it up, shake off all the feathers and make it our own. The two of us play the song with just the old jazz-guitar. We enjoy the discoveries, the collaboration. Feeling the rhythm. Playing with the words and the sounds. Trying to surprise each other. That's fun. We give every song we play a new life. That's what we do. It can be recognizable to the audience, but also very surprising.
