Tom Drury (piano), Erick Scales (sax), Mike Rodenberg (bass), and Pat Moore (drums) are the members of the quartet. Of the 10 tunes on 'By George', 7 are original compositions by Tom Drury. Tom is an Instructor of Music at the University of Southern Indiana (USI) and plays with just about everyone around, as do the rest of the group. Each one has been in the music business all their lives. Erick Scales is a composer and arranger and is the current head of the USI Jazz Band. Mike Rodenberg has played with everyone and in every type of band. Mike comes from a family well known for it's musical prowess. Pat Moore has played with big bands since he was 17 and owned a local music store for 35 years. Tom Drury was asked by Harry and Linda George if he would put together a band and play at one of their house concerts. The Georges have been putting on these salon-like event at their home since 2007. Tom ask the other musician if they would play that event and the rest is history. This CD is dedicated to Harry and Linda for their passion and support of jazz and musicians who play it. Tom's style is reminiscent of one of his heroes, Thelonious Monk. The Quartet's debut CD, entitled 'By George', is a testimony to the passion that is jazz and renaissance of that straight ahead style. The 3 cover tunes anchor this project and give the music the spice and smoke that reminds the listener of what it may have been like to hear this music when it was fresh and new.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41015816618081,"sku":"0888295142076","price":11.14,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_712208_860650_jpg.jpg?v=1724073099","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0888295142076-by-george","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
