New York based multi-instrumentalist and filmmaker:
Tom Abbs :
Acoustic & electric bass, tuba, cello, violin, dijeridoo,
flute, percussion, film, video graphic scores: :
"Abbs is a force of nature on the bass and tuba"
- Time Out NY:
"The ubiquitous session man Tom Abbs is a true genre chameleon"
- Syracuse FreeTimes: :
"Tom Abbs is a link to the future and past in that he has a large buoyant tone which music historians may associate with older bassists from the past (Mingus, Ware, Pettiford) Not to take anything away from these great musicians but Tom Abbs is one of a kind human being he is a living growing musician who only reminds me of one other musician and that musician is Tom Abbs. Tom employs clusters, densities, triple and quadruple stops in his playing. His time and timing are both flexible and fundamental. His quick responses to the sounds around him always help the music stay centered without losing that unpredictable edge."
