Tom Morley: Jazz Violinist

For the past 20 years, Tom Morley has entranced audiences with his playing. Famed jazz journalist Scott Yanow called Tom's playing "fluid and highly appealing." His original group 78RPM is dedicated to the performance and preservation of the small combo swing sound of the 1930s and 40s. The Tom Morley Classic Jazz Quartet features a more contemporary sound, from cool bossa nova to hot selections from the classic jazz repertoire.

In addition to high-profile concert appearances, Tom's jazz groups have performed at hundreds of private functions. From simple rehearsal dinners and intimate receptions to larger affairs such as conventions and corporate functions, he is always ready to provide the perfect mix of jazz and standards (at the right volume) to make any event a success!
