Guitarist Tom Ollendorff embarks on a world tour throughout October and November with an all-star trio to celebrate the release of his highly anticipated new album. Widely regarded as one of the most exciting young talents on the international jazz scene, Ollendorff’s playing blends lyrical sensitivity, rhythmic fluidity, and a distinctively warm tone. Tom will be performing with two of the most in demand musicians in the world today, drummer JK Kim and double bassist Conor Chaplin.
