Such a nice sounding music!

About Me


!!! NEW !!! - Free downloads here
***
Max & Lisa love warm, vintage sounds. So they're forever listening to music from the 60's! Bossa nova is one of these genres that they cherish. And Tom's Club's bossa nova compositions are very original indeed. Back to the roots of bossa, but with a twist. They also play their own versions of bossa nova classics (mostly Tom Jobim's, hence the band's name), and they can play a few jazzy tunes as well, when they're not covering a good old number from the 60's French pop music...

Here is a summary of the wonderful story of Tom's Club :
- Christian has been playing and arranging bossa nova songs for more than 30 years now. He has played with a lot of musicians, mostly classical and jazz. He is a real bossa nova maniac!
- Max is Christian's young cousin. He's a fine fellow, and a great musician and sound engineer. Very talented... and very patient with...
- Lisa is Max's fiancee. She has discovered bossa (and good music in general) through Max and, since she has always loved to write and sing, then "she's the singer in the band".

*** EVOLUTION !!! ***
Tom's Club - Lisa & Max - is now in the process of making its music evolve towards more "vintage pop" and less "classical bossa nova". We'll see what comes out of it!

Theme song from "Un homme et une femme" (the 1966 C.Lelouch movie), recorded in our garden too:
Tom's Club have been playing together for about 4 years. Max has recorded all the songs in his studio (http://atemstudio.free.fr/index.htm) and realized a demo. The band is now trying to play in bars, cafés-concerts, halls, etc. They're also looking for a label to publish their music.
Fingers crossed!
