notes

Pianist, bandleader, composer, and educator Thomas Snow is one of New England’s most versatile and sought-after musicians. A graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music (M.M. 2005) and the Berklee College of Music (B.M. 1991), Tom has studied piano and improvisation with Danilo Perez, Michael Cain, and Jerry Bergonzi. Recent recognition of his talent as a jazz pianist came in the form of the prestigious Hilton Head Jazz Society Scholarship awarded in their national competition.

Tom has played with many jazz luminaries including Dave Holland, Ken Peplowski, Greg Abate, Bruce Gertz, Larry Coryell, Nick Brignola, Phil Wilson, Mike Turk, Gray Sargent, John Lockwood, Dick Johnson, Herb Pomeroy, and Les DeMerle. He has recorded on the Telarc and Origin labels and has three CDs as a leader: Christmas at Mast Cove (2001), Northern Standard Time (1997), and Some Other Time (2007).

His career has included international tours, including travel in Australia and throughout the United States with noted Irish tenor John McNally, as well as long-term engagements at the Ritz Carlton Resort in Amelia Island, Florida, The Balsams Grand Resort, Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, and the Mount Washington Grand Resort.

In addition to maintaining a busy performing schedule throughout New England, Tom is a Lecturer of Music at both Bates College and the University of Southern Maine. He lives in Westbrook, Maine with his wife Michelle and two sons, Finneas and Elijah.

  • As good as it gets!
    author: Dory

    You know how some "jazz" versions of Christmas songs are straight up schlock? Well, fear not. For behold, Tom Snow brings you good music of great listening. There's not a track that's not terrific.

    We have heard Tom Snow play several times in Greenville and enjoyed his music; and so we have enjoyed both of his CDs at home and now have bought to share with friends and relatives.

  • Holiday Salvation!
    author: R. Ballard

    Finally! A holiday album that is different enough to make the songs fresh and enjoyable again. If I have to hear one more over the top, syrupy, vocal gymnastics version of a Christmas carol I will convert to another religion.

  • A consummate performance!
    author: Cindy Woolley

    A fabulous Christmas CD. The music and harmonies are just the right blend to make this wonderful listening. Nothing trite like so many other Christmas albums. Great for relaxing by the fireside or enjoyig at a party and mellow enough for the office - even my boss likes it. Perfect for gifts!!

  • Thomas Snow is a talent not to be denied - A joy to listen to.
    author: Stan Wallace

    The CD is full virtuosity but not to the point that it is over the heads of the average listener. Tastefull and musical, on this CD Thomas Snow makes it seem effortless. A true talent.
