Guitarist Tom Ollendorff has been fast building a reputation as an outstanding improviser and imaginative composer.
His album A Song For You (Fresh Sound Records) is an elegantly accomplished mix of gracefully grooving songlike themes, warmly conversational improvising, baroque-like unaccompanied etudes, and headlong fast-bop swing.
