TOM ARNTZEN

Pianist/Composer/Leader Tom Arntzen wears many hats; vocalist, keyboardist, composer, arranger, producer, musical director, and teacher. His inventive, soulful interpretations of choice standards evoke Ray Charles, Chet Baker and Frank Sinatra. His original swing tunes showcase his powerful, eclectic piano style, influenced by Fats Waller, Bill Evans and Errol Garner. Arntzen’s songs have been recorded by Amanda Wood and LJ Mountenay. Rounding out the show will be a selection of hard-swinging New Orleans jazz tunes. He will be appearing with two of Vancouver’s finest players: Noah Gotfrit on bass and Bernie Arai on drums.
