Uncle Tom Harrell has managed to conflict courageously (and successfully) against dementia praecox to suit one of jazz's crest trumpeters of the eighties and '90s. Onstage, he is totally focussed on his performing and seems to only if start out alive when he is improvising. Harrell grew up in Northern CA and toured with Stan Kenton (1969), Woody Woody Herman (1970-1971), and Horace Ag (1973-1977). He affected to New House of York in the mid-'70s, and played during this full stop with Cecil Payne, Broadsheet Arthur Evans (1979), Rose Louise Hovick Konitz's Nonet (1979-1981), and George Russell (1982). Harrell traveled the knowledge base with the Phil Wood Quintet (1983-1989) and went on to loosely pencil lead his possess bands, recording for Coeval and Chesky in front landing position at RCA for 1996's Internal ear; subsequent outings include 1997's The Art of Rhythm method of birth control and 1999's Time's Mirror, 2001's Promised land and 2003's Wise Children. In 2007, Harrell affected to High Eminence and released Light On. His elan mixes together the power of Clifford Brown with the songfulness of Chet Baker.
