REVIEWS

"A fantastic British jazz singer !"
Robert Elms - BBC London

"Unlike so many of his Stateside contemporaries, Rust refuses to stick to unwritten rules, avoiding paint-by-numbers renditions of songs that have been covered a million times, often in the same fashion. Rust's version of "That's Amore" virtually ignores the Las Vegas schmaltz of the Dean Martin original that became the blueprint for countless young jazz vocalists, karaoke singers, and overweight wedding crooners. Rust gives it a modicum of swagger and an abundance of calm self- confidence; it's as if James Bond were handed a microphone and was ordered to seduce a girl at a party, his deep British accent heightening the track's ripe sensuality.”
R Sutton - All about Jazz (USA)

"Excellent album !"
Helen Mayhew - Jazz FM

"Tom Rust has a voice of great character, with the subtlety to make swing songs really swing and enough edge to save ballads from blandness. Saints & Singers is his debut album - an excellent programme of classic but not over-performed songs, superbly accompanied by the Malcolm Edmonstone Trio."
Dave Gelly - Jazz critic for The Observer

"I am impressed" .................
Chris Parker (Jazz at Ronnie Scotts)

" an enjoyable album executed with a breezy charm"
Ian Mann - 24Dash.com

"This is great - smooth and contemporary take on classics
Tom is definitely a contender for the Jamie Cullum crown, but the feeling is from this brilliant release is that Tom has something a bit deeper to offer than JC's light bubbly approach - more a late night burner; mixing classic approach and contempoary sound - GET IT !! "
Jazz monthly

"Toms natural vocal ability combines with an innate musicality and sense of adventure. He truly improvises and interacts with Malcolm Edmonstones brilliant trio."
Fergus
606 Club

"Tom's smooth voice gave the whole evening a touch of glamour. As soon as he started singing we were all itching to start dancing."
