The debut CD of the MetroWest Jazz Project, Phrydig Aire, is now available. It features me (Tom Phelan) on vibes, with Doug Sondak on alto sax and flute, Ed Conley on drums and Benedikt Obermayer on bass. All original tunes.

On 14th of May 2013 my student HAUKE RENKEN (www.hauke-renken.de) and I had a fantastic recital at the theatre hall of the University of Bremen/Germany.

Boy, am I lucky to live here in New Jersey. I get to see such great vibes players as Behn and Tony live and in person. Behn and Ken (Fowser) performed recently at Makeda, an Ethiopian restaurant in New Brunswick, to introduce their new…
