Tom Arthurs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tom Arthurs is a jazz trumpeter from Northampton. Having studied under Barak Schmool at City University, he has been an active member of the F-IRE Collective.

His first band, Centripede, came from a Peter Whittingham Award, and his next album, Squash Recipe, was a trio with piano and drums. He is rapidly developing a reputation as a new generation easily taking the instrument beyond a foundation set by Kenny Wheeler. He currently also has a trio with Jasper Hoiby and Stuart Ritchie and a duo with pianist Richard Fairhurst.

In 2006, he was chosen as part of the Jerwood Rising Stars programme.
