Tom Harrell: Paradise
by Jack Bowers
Tom Harrell knows a lovely melody when he hears one, and has written several on his new album, Paradise, an ambitious enterprise that must have been a labor of love, as it is unlikely to earn the sort of recognition (Grammy Award nomination, etc.) he garnered with last year’s big–band release, Time’s Mirror. Which is not ...
Tom Harrell: Paradise
by David Adler
This is probably Tom Harrell’s most unusual work to date, and strictly speaking, the least “jazz"-oriented. Enlisting a string quintet and harp in addition to his regular jazz sextet, Harrell pushes his compositional and arranging chops to new levels, and continues to blow great trumpet. The sound of strings and jazz ensemble immediately calls to mind ...
Tom Harrell: Paradise
by C. Andrew Hovan
Since the ‘80s, trumpeter and composer Tom Harrell has been an icon to scores of aspiring musicians and devoted fans, with an influence that has only been recently overshadowed by the appearance of Dave Douglas. Of course, Harrell and Douglas each have their own artistic visions, but it’s interesting to note that BMG now has both ...

Tom Harrell: Time's Mirror
by Jack Bowers
And so after a long and successful career during which he has seldom been seen or heard in anything other than small–group environs (except for long–ago gigs with the Stan Kenton and Woody Herman orchestras), trumpeter / flugelhornist / composer Tom Harrell has come out of the closet, so to speak, to acknowledge that he has ...
Tom Harrell: Time's Mirror
by John Sharpe
Time's Mirror is Tom Harrell's third recording for RCA and his first big band outing. Although Harrell is best-known for his small group work with Phil Woods and Horace Silver, he is no stranger to the big band idiom having worked with Stan Kenton and Woody Herman. It's interesting to note that most of Harrell's charts ...
Tom Harrell: Time's Mirror
by C. Andrew Hovan
One of modern music's most acclaimed trumpeters, Tom Harrell has made the most out of his major label status. His two previous efforts for RCA, Labyrinth and The Art of Rhythm, brought the 53-year-old a good deal of critical attention and the major distribution network possible to reach a greater audience. However, as heavily lauded as ...
Tom Harrell: Time's Mirror
by Jim Santella
Trumpeter Tom Harrell employs a big band on his latest album. While hard bop stands alone as his major field in today’s jazz community, Harrell’s roots trace through the big bands of Stan Kenton and Woody Herman before he joined Horace Silver in 1973. While all the arrangements are Harrell’s, most of them were drawn up ...
