Tom Arthurs and Richard Fairhurst: Postcards from Pushkin
by AAJ Italy Staff
Mesmer, l'album di debutto del 2005, aveva destato parecchio interesse per il modo aperto e oltre i generi che contraddistingueva il dialogo tra la tromba/flicorno di Tom Arthurs ed il pianoforte di Richard Fairhurst.

Tom Arthurs & Richard Fairhurst: Mesmer
by Chris May
One of Britain's brightest young trumpet/flugelhorn talents--he was nominated for Rising Star in the BBC Jazz Awards in 2004 and is so nominated again this year (the results are due later this month)--Tom Arthurs' progress towards wider breakthrough appears admirably nonchalant.
