Tom Walsh
Phat Hed leader and producer<\/span><\/span> Post-digital, groove-approved, flesh’n’bone … jazz Formed in 2000, Phat Hed Trio has shared the stage with Montr\u00e9al’s NOMA & New York’s Sex Mob<\/em>. Trombonists Wolter Wierbos (Amsterdam) & NYC’s Steve Swell joined Walsh & Co. adventures in 2002 concert productions for Traqu\u2019enart & the Montr\u00e9al Jazz Fest..<\/p>\n

Summer 2004 sees Phat Hed premiering its self-titled CD, recorded live in 2003 during the heat of festival performances in Canada and … Slovakia!<\/p>\n

\nFestival concert featuring the ‘twin-bone’ treat of Tom Walsh<\/a> & Steve Swell<\/a> with bass\/drum intelligence supplied by Miles Perkin & Thom Gossage. Also included: Walsh’s latest foray into ‘DNA mutation’ – a ‘free radical’ Hungarian version of Phat Hed! Magyar\/Gypsy star virtuosos Bal\u00e1zs Elem\u00e9r on drums and Szandai M\u00e1ty\u00e1s on contrabass join Walsh in a surprisingly spicy concert in Nitra, Slovakia.<\/p>\n

Walsh originally formed Phat Hed to work ‘in vitro’ with modular portions of the larger NOMA’s more demanding compositions; i.e. breaking the double trio into electric & acoustic trios to find the heart of each song.<\/p>\n

The group’s tenor\/bass colors have since evolved into a unique voice, featuring driving grooves, extended techniques and, above all, a sense of humor and irreverence. There is no icon, no style of music too rare to be brought into the recipe book.<\/p>\n

Phat Hed has unearthed roots… and spores; Phat Hed now aims from the vein. <\/p>\n

Reviews<\/p>\n

Ken Egbert<\/strong>‘s review<\/a> for Jazz Now<\/em>:
“Small record labels with big ears like Ombu have brought us Tom Walsh’s trio\/quartet Phat Hed, and there’s some heady (no pun intended) stuff going on here.”<\/em><\/p>\n
